Brain Dead

A capsule collection built around The Dark Crystal in collaboration with The Academy of Motion Pictures and Brain Dead. Directed by the legendary animator and puppeteer Jim Henson in 1982, the film is widely regarded as one of the all-time great fantasy epics. The film follows the story of Jen, a Gelfing who's been tutored by the wisest of mystics. In a world in which evil runs amok, Jen sets out on a quest to restore balance to his once sacred land by finding the missing shard of the mysterious Dark Crystal. The Dark Crystal not only encapsulates Jim Henson’s genius storytelling capabilities, but highlights his innovative techniques both as a puppeteer and director with an on screen presentation that was far before it’s time.
