The Dark Crystal (1982): "Shimmy up the shaft."

From the creative minds of Jim Henson, Frank Oz, and Brian Froud and featuring the voice talents of Jim Henson, Kathryn Mullen, Frank Oz, Dave Goelz, and more. Skeksi appear in the world of Thra and ravage the land while their peaceful counterparts, the Mystics, seek to bring about balance. They send Jen, a Gelfling whose people have been driven to extinction by the Skeksi, on a quest to fulfill the prophecy. Unfortunately for Jen, the supposedly all knowing Mystics are short on important information and send Jen to Aughra for a shard he doesn't know what to do with. Fortunately for Jen, he meets another Gelfling, Kira, who can speak to the animals and joins him on his journey. Together they discover the way to save their land by healing The Dark Crystal, this week on Doom Generation.
