Get ready for thick black lines around everyone!

In spite of (or perhaps because of) his penchant for thick black lines, I'm a fan of everything I've seen from Genndy.

Probably because I didn't see my first horror movie until I was like 17 or 18, Dark Crystal was the most horrific movie memory I had...

Until I saw it as an adult. Completely ruined.

A child's suspension of disbelief is pretty amazing -- makes you wonder about the necessity or even desirability of those snazzy CGI effects in children's movies.

I saw Poltergeist when I was 6 and I was traumatized.
Dark Crystal not so much. I think the only thing I have trouble with now is the bad guys annoying voices.

Without consulting the internet what was the race of bad guys and the race of the good guys?

skeksis and the UrSomething (UrNuk? UrLuk?) were the zen vulture-alpaca-separated-then-conjoined things.
