MBJ- That honestly sounds like an almost perfect day to me. My wife and I like doing things like that here in Florida (different state, same mouse) but I swear I would have been torqued off because of Pirates and Mansion being closed! Those are the rides that keep me coming back to Disney time and again. Still it seems you had good company!

Evidence of OOT at Lucasfilm?

You've sort of brought up what boils my bottom about the whole OOT/SE/DVD affair-

LFL HAS to have restored MOST of the films! They started it to do the '97 SEs and continued it to tweak for the DVDs. The MFs have completed what, like 85-90% of the job already??? Its just sitting there on their harddrives! So any arguement that 'it'd just take too much time and money to restore and release the OOT' is total bullshit. A couple of dedicted employees could probably finish it up over a long weekend- hell I know enough people in this forum alone who could do it if they just had access.

Award-winning animation director Genndy Tartakovsky, who created the hit series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Samurai Jack and Dexter’s Laboratory, will direct Power of the Dark Crystal, the much anticipated sequel to The Jim Henson Company’s 1982 classic fantasy film. The announcement was made today by Lisa Henson, co-CEO of The Jim Henson Company and a producer on the film.

Additionally, Tartakovsky’s newest venture, Orphanage Animation Studios, has been brought on board as a producing partner to head up the CG animation elements that will be incorporated with the film’s live-action animatronic characters. Legendary fantasy artist Brian Froud, designer of the original film, will return to design the new characters. Odyssey Entertainment is representing worldwide sales and distribution on the film.

Set hundreds of years after the events of the first movie when the world has once again fallen into darkness, Power of the Dark Crystal follows the adventures of a mysterious girl made of fire who, together with a Gelfling outcast, steals a shard of the legendary Crystal in an attempt to reignite the dying sun that exists at the center of the planet.

“As an auteur of such exciting and fantastical adventure projects, Genndy is the perfect director to bring to life Power of the Dark Crystal,” said Lisa Henson. “I am sure that his visualization of Brian Froud’s designs will thrill fans of the original film as well as audiences who are meeting these beloved characters for the first time.”

Genndy Tartakovsky said, "The original Dark Crystal was one of the most inspirational and imaginative pictures of its time, so it's a real honor for me to be able to bring the world of The Dark Crystal to a whole new generation."

The sequel is only one of several projects exploring the world of The Dark Crystal, a fan favorite that has remained consistently strong with worldwide home video and DVD sales. Other projects include an animated television series, a manga series from Tokyo Pop, and myriad licensed products such as books, apparel and collectible sculptures.

Power of the Dark Crystal is a production of The Jim Henson Company in association with Orphanage Animation Studios. With a screenplay by Annette Duffy and David Odell, the film will be produced by Lisa Henson and Orphanage Animation Studios Chairman Scott Stewart. Executive Producers will be Brian Henson with Ralph Kamp and Louise Goodsill of Odyssey Entertainment.

Ralph Kamp and Louise Goodsill commented, “The original film remains a classic and it’s an honor to add Power of the Dark Crystal to our strong family line up. With Genndy and Orphanage Animation Studios joining The Jim Henson Company, the final creative elements are in place, and we know Berlin will be busy for us as we start the process of bringing this long-awaited sequel to its many fans around the world.”

The Dinkins speaks truth here. Or at least two OF the worst.

Then again I'm a two-faced whore, as I recently bought the 'Neo head statue' box set because A) I got it new for $30 and B) I really wanted to see the documentaries despite my distaste for parts 2 & 3. I honestly wouldn't crack the shrinkwrap because I felt *guilty* for having bought the set. Guilt. I don't FEEL guilt! Does that show how much I don't like those films?!?!

They did what?!?!?!?!!?



Yeah, like Shimraa I thought the character was just about to find his nads and after the Dee thing he'd elevate to Vice President, possibly uncovering (or making up) some dirt on Gaius. But.... *blammo*!!!

I'll still cut Raimi some slack when it comes to his casting and filmmaking... and has anything *really* confirmed who Grace will play? There are LOTS of other villains and Raimi seems to be an old-school (re prior to Venom) kind of Spidey fan. Keep in mind he's 40-something and read Spider-man in its original hey-day.

As I learned before, Shim, be sure to mark your post as 'spoiler' but yes- I agree with you. Though I had enjoyed the previous two eps despite their weakness to the overall series I really did dig this last episode. I thought it was good for showing the mistakes people make and the sacrifices that lead from those mistakes; aslo that decent or somewhat decent people can do bad things for what they feel are good reasons.

I also think its been good to focus on the human side of the show because reading ahead a bit we're about to have a LOT of Cylons real soon!

And plus there's still plenty of Nazis running around in the 50s and 60s- remember the really nasty ones set up shop in Central America or the wilds of Africa. In fact Indy *might* think he's up against Communists but end up joining them to help defeat some Nazi war criminal or another in the third act. But you didn't hear it from me.
