This is an excellent fantasy movie. You have to consider it is a movie made for children, so don't expect too much. However, it is a classic flourishing with Jim Henson's talent and imagination. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Beautiful set effects populated with sweetly unique characters, Fizzgig being the favorite of our family. An older family film but much better than many of the newer releases.

This is such a great movie, with a great plot, with some wonderful visuals. A lot of work must have gone into this, and it is gorgeous. Old, but still an awesome one. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

There will never be another movie like this one. The story, the style, the character design are all very novel and refreshing. This movie shows the true genius of Jim Henson. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

My husband introduced me to this film and Labyrinth, Henson was a great imanginitive person, this film and his others are a testament to that. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

This is a great classic 80's kids movie. It is definitely for older kids. I liked it back then. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

I did not find the story interesting (I just couldn't get it) and all the puppets looked weird & sounded loud & ridiculous. The mythical places were imaginative though. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Our family is able to enjoy a lot of movies, even many that others don't find exciting or interesting, but this was a big disappointment. The story line and mode of presentation was corny and weird, and the moral of the story (if there was supposed to be one) was ridiculous. It seems to want to show that there can be no perfection in creatures unless they have both their peaceful components and their evil components.
I must say, however, that the set and costume designers did a terrific job. The landscape, and particularly the lifeforms on the planet are VERY imaginative, and interesting to see and consider. The main characters weren't bad, despite their very limited facial movements being somewhat distracting when they talked. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
