Hello Everybody

Ive ben on and off this forum and visit this site for many years now, i love it.

Anyways, i was wondering if you could answer 2 questions for me, it would really help me out.

I am writing my Dissertation specifically on The Dark Crystal and its Animatronics regarding Audience Reception Theory.:wisdom:

Q1. Is there a quote form a book somewhere that states that The Dark Crystal is the only movie to have been made using solely Animatronics and Puppetry, with no human characters. I have been looking online and in some Books and magazine reviews and cant find a quote. if so from wich book and could you message or publish it here please incl page number.

Q2. If I posted the questions used for my Audience Reception , as I will have to show it to a pvt audience, would you be interested in filling it out for me to i get statistics etc. names will be remain annonymous on the final results.

:scary:

Yup Yup Yup Yup!

thank you

Q1: Im pretty sure there are many quotes. But I havent had the time to search through my collection. Why is it that important? I mean everybody knows it is the ONLY realistic movie with only animatronics.

Q2: Yes

hi Laszlo

thanx for your reply

yesi have about 12 pages of quotes and reviews, i just wanted one to confirm this as it is an accademic essay it needs to be referenced and proven, I think i got the best quote from Brian Frouds, the world of the dark crystal bok, from the bottom paragraphs of the inside dust cover where he says that it was the first fully animatronic feature film ( i cant name you anothe rone though lol).

Thank you, i am almost finished the questions asn thank you i will let you know around mid november i wil post them here.

I’m studying my final year of Film Making and Screen Writing Honours year and I have to produce a Dissertation. The Dissertation is based upon a Historical reception Study of Jim Hensons The Dark Crystal.

I will be screening the movie to a small (pvt) audience but I would also like you to participate. Within the next week (if you have time) could you please watch the movie The Dark Crystal and fill out the questionnaire for me, please, please, gelfling friend.

If you don’t have time please watch on a clip on You Tube to get an idea of the movie and fill out the questions and return them to me by the 30th of November 2010. Just copy n paste n answer as many questions as you can.

I really appretiatiate your help.
