I can’t remember the first time I watched Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal. For the latest news, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.The story of our time isn’t about animatronics - it’s about truth and rebellion “ The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance” is now available to stream on Netflix. “They come to life through the artistry of the puppeteers, and then that’s the moment where it takes the breath away, where you go, ‘That is the surreal moment.’ Something that started as a few little lines on a piece of paper, it’s gone on this journey with everybody, and it’s such an extraordinarily magical thing when you see these things come to life.” “Our challenge was for the prequel - to have so many new Gelflings - was to differentiate between the different tribes not only the costumes, but in the sculpt of the faces,” said Brian Froud. Other Characteristics: Knowledge of fine arts, agriculture, and creature husbandry
Physical Characteristics: Tan skins, darker hair Residence: Southern plains of Thra many are from Sami Thicket, but travel to trade with other parts.
And you’ll sort of see that in Kylan, who is a Spriton himself he’s peaceful and he’s loving. “Harvest, things like that, that’s all they’re about really. Tonally those guys are more russet and auburn tone to them,” said Froud. “The Spriton are the more of the land, the farmer race of Gelfling. Other Characteristics: Well-educated and cultured, but also believing themselves to be better than other Gelfling clansĮxamples: All-Maudra, Brea, Tavra, Seladon, The Librarian, Mira 4.

Physical Characteristics: Fair skin with white hair, often found elaborately braided Residence: The mountains and cliffs along the northern coast. They don’t like Grottans, they look down on them.” “They’re sort of pale and they think themselves higher above. They are the higher clan of gelfling, certainly because of the All-Maudra is the head of that clan, but also the head of all gelflings in their society,” said Froud. “The Vapra are of the air, the mountains. Other Characteristics: Fierce and known for their prowess in battleĮxamples: Rian, his father Ordon (Captain of the Castle Guard), Maudra Fara 3. Physical Characteristics: Dark hair and strong Residence: Stonewood in the Dark Wood, adjacent to the Crystal Castle They’re protecting the laws as part of the castle guard,” said Toby Froud. They are strong and tribal in their clan and they probably become more dedicated to the castle in that point of history as well. “They’re the more woodland warrior, classic type of gelfling.

“You look at the Skeksis and go, ‘Oh wow, OK there we go,’ and you look at a Gelfling and you go, ‘Is it right or not?’ That was always the problem, and also the challenge, and also the triumph of the Gelfling in the original but also now in the show.”īrian Froud only had to conceive of two Gelfling for the movie - the dark-haired Jen and the platinum-blonde Kira - but in the prequel series, he has a whole race of Gelfling to tackle and define within their respective clans. It’s harder than anything else,” said Toby Froud.
“The Gelflings probably are the hardest puppets to create, but also to perform truly because they have that human relatable element to them.
