I think between that movie, Time Bandits and ET, I can probably explain why I'm on anti-anxiety medication today.
There were lots of great things about that movie, but man, the whole, "let's exterminate an entire race" thing and the whole, "let's drain people of their vital essences by frying their faces in a microwave of evil then drink it to grow younger whilst turning them into walking slave corpses" thing kinda got me. I remember thinking to myself when the movie ended and the "nice" Skeksis brought Kira back to life, "yo, dudes, that's great and all, but seeing as you exterminated our entire race, you think you could do that a few more times before buggering off to who knows where so that we don't have to worry about inbreeding?"

The company/Disney and/or his son.
Henson told us that "Fraggle Rock" is "still in very active development. Very active development. That has a very strong script." Woosh. See that emphasis on the second 'very'? That's all Henson baby. He was emphatic in his "Fraggle" talk. And that's not all!
"It'll have a strong musical component," he said. "It'll be expanded to an older audience. 'Fraggle Rock' [the TV show] was presented... for a pretty exclusively children's audience. The feature film does expand it to be more accessible to a wider audience."
"We have a 'Dark Crystal' sequel, called 'The Power of the Dark Crystal.' It has a very strong script." More emphasis. I like that, Mr. Henson. Enthusiasm. It's infectious. I'm already excited about these projects, and hearing your comments only amplifies that.
"Both of those projects... are very close to going into pre-production," Henson said. "They're both really ready to go. [The studio is] just [in the process of] putting together the final finance pieces and the final distribution pieces."

As has been mentioned by someone else, I haven't seen this in so long, I'd be afraid to revisit. Slick visuals in movies have come such a long way that I would be worried it would tarnish the great memories I have of it.
