Pay What You Can
Dir. Jim Henson, Frank Oz

In another time, the Dark Crystal – a source of balance and truth in the universe – was shattered, dividing the world into two factions: the wicked Skeksis and the peaceful Mystics. Now, as the convergence of the three suns approaches, the crystal must be healed, or darkness will reign forever. It’s up to Jen – one of the last of his race – to fulfill the prophecy that a Gelfling will return the missing shard to the crystal and destroy the Skeksis’ evil empire. But will young Jen’s courage be any match for the unknown dangers that await him?
