No, you HAVE to see The Dark Crystal. The Dark Crystal is fucking brilliant, and nine million times better than Labyrinth, and I say that only having seen pieces of Labyrinth over the years. (I'm sorry, I love Bowie, but some of his performances in Labyrinth are *embarrassing*.)
The Dark Crystal also completely owns because Brian Froud designed everything. And everything is man-made, down to the insects in outdoor scenes. It's unbelievable, the level of detail and the scale of the movie. I still can't believe that Henson didn't like it and wanted it to seem more "puppety", like Labyrinth.
