Trivia:
From a budget of $15 million, @%The Dark Crystal%@ made slightly over $40 million, a rather disappointing figure. This was put down to the fact that many parents felt the film was too scary for their children and also because it opened against the box office juggernaut that was !~th_et~!~E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial~!. `~4721~` personally trimmed twenty minutes from the film after a disastrous preview in San Francisco. Henson also ordered many of the character voices re-dubbed to eliminate some of the invented character languages to make the film more accessible and the plot easier to follow. Was the highest-grossing box office release of 1983 in France and Japan. Early drafts of the script featured Jen and Kira traveling through the underworld where they encountered a race of underground mining creatures. This concept was later integrated by `~4721~` into @##Fraggle Rock##@ and served as the partial basis for the story of @%The Power of the Dark Crystal%@. Conceptual designer `~4723~` was behind the look and feel of virtually every aspect of the film's production, from creatures and landscapes right down to the font of the opening title. In total, it took up five years of his life. The Garthim costumes were so heavy that the performers had to be hung up on a rack every five minutes to rest whilst still in costume. The Special Edition DVD features several "workprint" takes showing early passes at dialogue. This early voice-over work differs from the final dialogue in several ways: the Skeksis speak in a foreign language, `~4720~` provided the voice of Aughra (sounding very similar to his voice work for Yoda in the !~th_wars_5~!~Star Wars~! movies), and the Mystics were referred to by (presumably) their original name, the ur-Ru. The novelization was apparently based on this earlier version, referring to the "Trial By Stone" contest by its original name - "Hakskeekah" - and calling the Mystics the ur-Ru. In the final film, one reference to ur-Ru was not redubbed: when the Mystics enter the Skeksis Great Hall, SkekOk, the Scrollkeeper sees them and shouts "Ur-Ru!" `~4723~`'s fascination with lobsters led to many crustacean touches in the design of the film, particularly in the design of the Garthim, the henchmen of the Skeksis. This is the only movie made by the Henson workshop where 100% of the characters are puppets.
