It should be used for scenery and nothing more.

THANK YOU!
Part of the reason that films like the Dark Crystal and Labyrinth still stand out today is because there is still a genuine sense of wonder when you're watching them. There is more imagination, creativity and ingenuity in those movies than the vast majority of fantasy films that followed, IMO, which is partly due to the animatronics and use of sets - which is far from dated.

Urgh.
With the way that family movies are today, the skeksis will probably be replaced by Queen Latifa and Will Farrell. As much as I love the first couple fo Shrek movies, I'm growing really tired of the seemingly endless clones.
I wouldn't be surprised if they threw in a couple of musical numbers with Zac Efron either.
Yes I'm still cynical, and I will continue to be so until they give
me the position of director.

Hmm, think I might have to watch this film again at the weekend.
