There's been a lot of talk lately about the upcoming sequel to The Dark Crystal,
which will be directed by animation wunderkind Genndy Tartakovsky and combine both puppets and CG backgrounds. What I
didn't catch until recently is that there may also be an animated Dark Crystal series which will air as part
of Cartoon Network's Toonami block. David Slack, who also worked on Teen Titans, will work on this series. I
haven't seen much on this, save for little tidbits here and there, so I guess we'll have to wait and
see. The series will apparently work as a kind of prequel to the original film, focusing on life before the Crystal
cracked and the Gelfling race was (nearly) wiped out.Dark Crystal the animated series
