Loved this movie! Didn’t see it in the theater, but caught it a zillion times on HBO
Loved it on HBO for months it was my go-to show everything other day.
One of the first movies I ever saw in a theater, and extremely influential.
@ Doug Absolutely.
This is just a fantastic movie. It also turned me on to Brian Froud’s artwork which is always amazing.
I can still remember watching that making of special they had on ABC back in the day. :)
I think we should start a petition to get your old friend to do the skeksis imitation once more!
Love this movie. My mother took me with her to see it when I was 4 years old. To this day for some reason she tells me, she thought I was going to be scared for lige. However I watch the movie to this day & it’s even more beautiful on my hdtv.
