Awesome film - Jim Henson's Creature Shop at their finest, along with Labyrinthe.
Got both on DVD.



And yes, I wanted a pet Fizzgig as a kid. ;)

I'm glad to hear Bob Geldof's work hasn't been in vain.

Oooh yes - lazy Sunday TV.

You may appreciate this too - I've long been thinking of going back to the occasional LRP event with the crutches...

... just need to find the time to make a Land-Strider costume with a little Gelfling character sitting on my shoulders. :twisted:
Check out how they move - they really are guys with crutches inside!
