Dark Crystal

I am watching Dark Crystal right now and man this movie is trippy, I used to watch it all the time when i was a kid but never really payed attention to the story or dialogue etc. Idk if kids these days could handle a movie like this or Return to Oz for that matter.

What you guys think for all-time crazy kids movie: Dark Crystal or Return to Oz?

I say Return to Oz by far!

I have never watched Return to Oz...however, i did find Dark Crystal to be highly disturbing when i was younger..but i used to love it..it's so weird that you can't not love it O_O..

Disturbing is a good choice of word. Watch Return to Oz as its a billion times different than Wizard of Oz.

For all of you who havent seen Return to Oz you need to rent it ASAP.

I rented Return To Oz when I was about 5 at a Circle K when they used to rent out movies and watched it with my brother and my dad. The wheelers gave me nightmares for about 2 years until I realized that I was bigger then them in my dream and they no longer scared me to that level. I enjoy nightmares now because of the coping, stress, and realizations I have been through. I love the movie though and showed my girlfriends younger sister about 3 months ago and she loved it as well. Dark Crystal is a classic, and I agree it is quite the trippy movie, and is appreciated in a completely different way when you are older but you love it for the unseemingly same reasons when you are younger.

The Dark Crystal is a great film. The puppets/muppets are very, very well-crafted. The costume design is great as well. The story is kinda meh, but the visuals are superb. It's like an old-school version of Avatar, but with a better, original plot.

The Dark Crystal is my favorite movie ever. Why don't they make excellent fantasy movies for kids(and adults) anymore like they did in the 70's and 80's? Originally the Skeses were supposed to speak in their own constructed language and the Mystics were supposed to go by their real names the "Uru." I have never seen Return to Oz, so I have to say Dark Crystal is better. :P If you're interested TC, go out and get the book "The World of the Dark Crystal." It talks about the cultures of the Gelfling, Skekses, Uru, and Podlings, as well as metaphysics, mathematics, and other interesting things. You could also read the movie novelization of it (by A.C.H Smith), which is almost better than the movie in some cases.

Great movie to watch while high

Never seen Return to Oz. Watched Dark Crystal as a kid though, and it was definitely creepy..

yea those wheelers are freaky, and that knome king is like satan himself ahahah, what about that mental hospital with electric shock lobotomies... far out! but yea Oz gave me nightmares galore when i was a kid but now the only dreams i look forward to are nightmares... and wet dreams:D

personally I think computer animation has killed off those types of movies, even a movie like Never Ending Story would downright suck if they remade it with CGI. Also those were the golden years of film making, more of an artistic approach, nowadays its all about $$$$$. I mean look at that Avatar movie (no i have not seen it yet, prolly wont for a while) it had no sets, no costumes,no makeup artist, no basically anything, the whole movie was filmed on or in front of blue screen and people are going gaga over it. idk maybe its the consumers who are to blame?

I've never seen Return to Oz, surprisingly... I tended to gravitate towards darker movies like Dark Crystal and such as a child... I still have a special place in my heart for Dark Crystal. And Labyrinth. raven_squad

your in luck raven :D

Return To Oz is pure awesome

It takes The Wizard of Oz and makes you think you are going to watch a kid's movie and than you end up scared half to death by the end of it.

Thats a giant rock beast thing about to eat someone

(just in case you can't tell =p )
