Drawing from unseen archive interviews with Jim Henson and new interviews with the film\'s behind-the-scenes creative team, Dark Crystal: The Ultimate Visual History leaves no stone unturned in chronicling the entire production, from the initial concept based on themes close to Henson\'s heart to the ingenious conceptual design, puppet construction, and logistics of the shoot itself.
