calendar The cinema universe just hasn’t found another world-building genius like Jim Henson. Henson has created legends that have surpassed its creator like Kermit the Frog, Yoda (let’s not talk about his CGI portrayal) and Big Bird. And The Jim Henson Company went on to make great films like Labyrinth, The Muppet Christmas Carol and The Muppet Movie. Springfilm On the Move Presents The Dark Crystal. The film, which explores the more dark side of Henson’s creations, begins a 1,000 years after the Dark Crystal of Thra cracked, which leaves the land under the cruel Skeksis. Jen, raised by the noble race called the Mystics and the last survivor of his own race, the Gleflings, ventures out to find the shard of the dark crystal to bring about balance in the universe. Dark Crystal shows at 6:30 pm Thursday, March 28, at Wildish Theater, located at 630 Main Street, Springfield.
