Her mission: to rescue her lost brother Toby.
Under the joint leadership of Henson and Oz, The Dark Crystal was brought to life in 1982. This classic film delved into the age-old struggle between good and evil, earning a devoted fanbase worldwide. The movie was remarkable for its groundbreaking animatronics and unforgettable characters crafted by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. Leading the voice cast were Stephen Garlick as Jen, Lisa Maxwell as Kira, and Billie Whitelaw as Aughra.
