Our take on the Dark Crystal Limited Edition Steelbook 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray

This is Shout! Factory's limited-edition Steelbook release of The Dark Crystal, Jim Henson and Frank Oz's 1982 all-puppet fantasy, on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray. The film was shot on 35mm, and the 4K presentation brings out the texture of the hand-built sets, puppets and costumes in a way DVDs and older Blu-rays could not. It suits Henson fans, practical-effects lovers and physical-media collectors who want the film in a display case. Against the standard 4K Amaray edition, the disc content is the same; the Steelbook is the draw, and it is the version collectors seek out while it lasts.

  • Henson and Oz's all-puppet world holds up as a visual spectacle
  • Limited-edition Steelbook packaging for collectors
  • Shout! Factory release with the studio's usual care

Cons

  • Limited print run means it can be hard to find later
  • Puppet-era effects look dated to some modern viewers

Questions and answers

Is this the same disc as the standard 4K edition?
Yes. The 4K disc and its extras match the standard Shout! Factory 4K release. The difference is the limited-edition Steelbook case.
Does it include a regular Blu-ray and digital copy?
Shout! Factory's 4K Steelbook releases typically pair the 4K disc with a Blu-ray. Check the back cover for a digital copy, since that varies by release.
Is the film suitable for children?
It is darker and slower than most family fantasy, with eerie creatures and peril. Many parents suggest it for older children rather than preschoolers.
Do I need to have seen it before?
No. It is a standalone story, and the 4K presentation is a good first viewing for anyone curious about Henson's non-Muppet work.
Will the Steelbook stay available?
It is a limited edition, so stock is not guaranteed to last. Collectors who want the case should not count on a reprint.

At Best Buy, for $29.47, as of our latest check.
