After getting my copy of The Dark Crystal/Labyrinth 2-pack (not 2-pac), I've noticed that there really isn't anymore films that are entirely or mostly "muppets." After watching The Making of The Dark Crystal I realized how much of an artform this really is/was and how fantastic these films can be for children and us adults.
I know that puppeteering (sp?) is occasionally used for films like... well, really just Star Wars, but what about great films using elaborate sets and puppet designs? I want them back. I fear this artform is lost. I know there are kiddie shows that use "muppets," but I am talking about films. CGI is great and I love it (for the most part, it can be totally over-used), but I would like to see "muppet" movies again.
How do you people feel about all this?
