I just found out that the same guy that made The Dark Crystal made Labyrinth (Jim Henson)

It all makes sense now as I've been a fan of the practical effects in TDC for many years now.

He took things to another level (effects wise) in Labyrinth, though I believe that The Dark Crystal is the better overall movie.

I feel like Jim Henson deserves better than being referred to as “the same guy.” Henson is in a class of his own.

You're supposedly 36, yet referred to Jim Henson as some "guy" like he was a random Hollywood no-name makeup/effects guy.

Damn. I mean Henson is the most famous creature/puppeteer creator ever in the entertainment business.

Jfc it was a figure of speech: "The same guy"

Should I have said "I just found out that the The God of practical effects, Jim Henson also made.."

You're reading too much into my words, imo

ETA: And you're acting like me being 36 means I should know everything about this guy. Newsflash: The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth are both older than I am. Before my time, literally

Yeah that guy who created the muppets.


Hes only one of the most famous puppeteers. If anyone knows one name of a puppeteer its Jim Henson.

Well Winston is a special effects make up guy and is awesome. I would say they do different things. He did jurassic park, predator, aliens, terminator, and a bunch of other stuff.


Henson is the puppet master.


Didnt know this about henson but he died from strep throat.
