Introduction
MirrorMask is a breakthrough in sheer imagination. The Jim Henson Company has produced a worthy successor to its lineage that includes classics like Labyrinth and Dark Crystal. Although it bears the influence of the late Jim Henson, its tone is darker and decidedly less cheery than standard Henson fare which might put some viewers off. But MirrorMask is a surreal, dark fantasy tale with distinct style and a sense of humor.
