☆ Trivia
Henson's inspiration for the visual aspects of the film came around 1975-76, after he saw an illustration by Leonard B. Lubin in a 1975 edition of Lewis Carroll’s poetry showing crocodiles living in a palace and wearing elaborate robes and jewelry. The film's conceptual roots lay in Henson's short-lived The Land of Gorch, which also took place in an alien world with no human characters. According to co-director Frank Oz, Henson's intention was to "get back to the darkness of the original Grimms' Fairy Tales", as he believed that it was unhealthy for children to never be afraid.[6] Henson formulated his ideas into a 25-page story he entitled The Crystal, which he wrote whilst snowed in at an airport hotel. Henson's original concept was set in a world called Mithra, a wooded land with talking mountains, walking boulders and animal-plant hybrids. The original plot involved a malevolent race called the Reptus group, which took power in a coup against the peaceful Eunaze, led by Malcolm the Wise. The last survivor of the Eunaze was Malcolm's son Brian, who was adopted by the Bada, Mithra's mystical wizards

This is so frigging adorable! So much charm and love for such a short version of the story 🙂💜
Thank you so much for compiling and uploading a part of my childhood! I owned the cassette and book 30yrs ago and am really happy to share this with my child all these years later. Thanks again!
You had this too? My big brother back in 82 who was 7 saw this movie in theaters in the year i was born and i listened to this when i was 4 as i dug the movie as well
I had these as well. Now I’m on a binge to find all my read a longs.
You had this and have you seen the awesome new prequel tv show? it's amazing
I used to read along to this audio book in the 2nd grade at my school. Put the headphones on, sat in a quiet nook in the library and just enjoyed the whole experience, using my imagination to follow along.
I miss this so much!! Thank you so much for bringing so many memories for me when I was a kid!!
You looking forward to the prequel TV show?
"brought unhappiness to the land"..........that's a rather child-friendly way of describing genocide, slavery and murder :P
How about the prequel show?
That pretty much means umhappiness.
My big brother had this when he was 7 back in 83 as he saw the movie in theaters and i was born in 82 when this movie came out and saw the movie on VHS at age 4 when my parents taped me the movie off a rental tape on a blank tape and dug it, one of my fave movies.
The prequel show should be cool
Johnlindsey289 It’s amazing!!!

You grew up with the movie and love the prequel show?
My brother did
One of my absolute fave films since childhood. I used to have this on cassette, in Swedish :-)
Oh my God!! I had this!!
Me too! I swear we absolutely wore out the accompanying record!
I always heard it as "Come to castle. Show them you want peas. Please?"
I thought that Gelflings didn't like to eat vegetables either.
They ate fruit as if you see prequel
I have this book with the record. :) I just scanned all the images!
Looking forward to the prequel?
I had this!!!!
Just listened to the Labyrinth, now listening to this 😁😃
And now here’s Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal
I still have this book and record from when i was a kid, along with a few other movies.
I have the same thing, but mine is on vinyl record!
Enter The World Of THE DARK CRYSTAL.
This is the story of labyrinth
You can read along with me in your book
You will know it is time to turn the page
When you hear the chimes ring like this...
Let's begin now:
I have this book with the 7" vinyl record when I was a kid.
Hang on to it if you still have it. Keep it safe, those things fetch a good price in the collector's market.
Z Man7 unfortunately , I lost it somewhere . Maybe my mother either threw it away or sold it. I hope to find it again . I especially like the Chamberlain's voice.
wii1245 me too!
Same here! Unfortunately, I think my sister and I wore out both the book and the record…rats.
I remember this movie and the narrator but I think this person should know that this movie came out in 1982.
I remembreing this amazing movie like this one you can. Read the book on the cassette tape and now it's on RUclips channel you doing a great job showing this amazing movie the dark crystal 🔮the story book on the cassette on your RUclips channel sending me more of your amazing stories on the cassette tapes on my RUclips channel
Seen the new prequel show?
can they bring back the Dark Crystal in a sequel - The Dark Crystal - Catacombs of Horatu Kangoshi - starting G Hannelius
I had a bunch of these books growing up when I was a kid I swear I think the same narrator reads them all and they all have that same chiming sound the only thing I don't like is how inaccurate to the movie this was it wasn't the general who challenged the Chamberlain it was the Chamberlain The Challenge the general they cut a lot of parts out and they spent through it pretty quick but otherwise it was kind of fun to see this thanks for posting
You had this as a kid? and you grew up with the movie and seen the prequel show?
@@Johnlindsey289 I didn't have this exact book when I was a kid I did grow up with the movie however, my mom used to rent it for me I had other books like this four different stories I think mostly Disney stories

Wow. They really weren't even trying with these voices. Jen, the Master and the General sound more or less like themselves, but everyone else... oy. I mean, it's nice that they sampled from the soundtrack; that does give it a nice epic feel, but seriously, they couldn't get even ONE voice actor from the film to reprise their role?
How do you feel about Simon Pegg as Skeksil, Mark Hamil as Skektek, Harvey Firestein as Gourmend etc.?
@@Johnlindsey289 As yet, I've no idea - I haven't watched the series yet. I'm waiting for it to come out on DVD. I will say that I was intrigued when I heard about Hamill - he really is an amazingly talented guy.
@@Psycopathicus
It might be released on blu and DVD this year
@@Johnlindsey289 So I've heard, yes. I'm looking forward to it.
Hey, I think that's Cam Clarke (Leonardo from the original TMNT) doing Jen's voice here
This sounds like the narrator from the Return to Oz Read Along book, could you please upload a video, I can’t find it anywhere on RUclips.
Same one and also did Oliver and Company, Great Mouse Detective and more
The narrator is William Woodson.
Snoopy voiced Jen in this version? AAUGH!!!
He was Leonardo the turtle and Keneda from the 1989 dub of Akira
@@Johnlindsey289 I knew it!
♥`
I had that book, E.T. and Tron
My big brother who was 7 in 1982 did as well and he saw those in theaters at that age and i was born when ET hit theaters
Cam Clarke? I’m not hearing things, Jin is voiced by Cam Clarke.
Yes he voiced Leonardo in ninja turtles original show, Keneda from original dub of Akira, heman and prince Adam from 200x heman and more
mmmmmMMMMMMmmm...
:General: I hate your whimper
Chantelle lockwick dark crystal ball
Emma Watson vigo voice paint inside pictures photographed spellbinding power suit city
May Jesus bless you all and lead you to Him!
These are not the original voices from the movie! SMH!
This isn’t your run of the mill kids story….
Neither is prequel or labyrinth
