The Dark Crystal is a 1982 British-American fantasy film directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz. It dramatizes the story of Jen, an elflike 'Gelfling' to restore balance to his alien world by returning a lost shard to a powerful but broken gem.
Jen meets Kira, another surviving Gelfling who can communicate with animals, and her pet Fizzgig. They discover that they have a telepathic connection which Kira calls "dreamfasting".
The character Kira from The Dark Crystal was the inspiration for Karen Underwood , the wife of Ogden Morrow , to change her name from Karen to Kira.
Halliday/Anorak's throne in Oasis is the Skeksis Throne from The Dark Crystal.
A poster of the film appears in Aech's basement and a recreation of Halliday's childhood bedroom.
