Originally, Dark Crystal was much longer. The Skeksis spoke a foreign
language and there were several sub-plots. Upon previewing the movie
to an audience in Washington, D.C., Henson found people walking out
claiming that the movie was too slow and too hard to follow. The release
date was pushed some 9 months back while the film went back for
re-editing. This is what you see today.
