The Dark Crystal (1982) by Jim Henson and Frank Oz

I have just remebered the name of the film that the forest at Trebah reminded me of, it's 'The Dark Crystal'

I'm going to watch it with my nieces maybe they will like it as much as they like the 'Spiderwick Chronicles.' I haven't seen the film since I was very young, but I remember even then it was a great film, quite magical. You can't help but swept away by the fantasy of it all.The amount of work that must have gone into the making of all those puppets, even the ugly ones.

Below is a picture of the 'Mystics', these comparativley are much prettier than the 'Skekis', which are the monster looking ones in the picture above.


Which leads me back to the trees at Trebah


See what I mean. Below is the original trailer for the film from youtube.
