Dark Crystal: The Age of Resistance is the prequel to the dark tale for children of Dark Crystal, the cult film by Jim Henson and Frank Oz, released in 1982 in the United States, entirely made with puppets. True to the original masterpiece, Dark Crystal: The Age of Resistance is an initiatory tale in which Jen and Kira, the only survivors of the Gelfings race, go in search of a crystal shard at the request of the Mystics, a wise and peaceful people.

In the era of CGI and digital films, the quaint charm of puppets operates and this philosophical tale on the necessary balance that an individual must find to be in harmony with himself, others and nature, finds in these particular times, all its meaning.
