Puppets being replaced by Cgi, is in fact what is being done to the sequel of the dark crystal.
Not sure if it is the same Henson Digital Artists who worked on Farscape.
Hopefully they don't take their cues from Lucas clone wars. I mean doing that would make them wooden like puppets but i thought that they chose cgi because it is more limitless and lifelike.
Hopefully they will Use Pixar as the example.
