So, I just watched watched one of the Dark Crystal for the first time with my Grandkids. It’s (whichever one has the pic of old heavyset character puppet as cover. . I’m talking Jim Hensen puppet movie. So, there’s a part where the old vultures draw a Gelfling into a cave and they hook her up to pumps and use a crystal to drain the life from her and collect some sort of whitish fluid into a vial from her.
Now that I have learned alot on here, I’m thinking Adrenochrome.
Oh, I hope not - I met him years ago at a sci-fi con. He would not even sing along with a slightly naughty song we were all singing, even though no kids were present.
And Dark Crystal does end with the evil characters vanquished, so there's that... not sure what other films of his would be "too much" for children. The Muppet movies are all entirely wholesome unless I missed something. Muppet Christmas Carol is beautiful. Dark Crystal is the only one I know of with truly evil characters, but sometimes you need those to tell a story.
CDAN is usually pretty good, but I hope they're wrong on this one.
