    Was that the Jim Henson film fantasy film from way back with those flying creatures called Skesis (I think) ?

    EDIT... NO need to answer I Googled it ... Interesting how this latest version stilluses puppets albeit enhanced with some CGI rather than 'full on' CGI. It has been positively reviewed as 'Game of Thrones' with puppets apparently

    How does it match up with the original? I'm a massive Labyrinth fan, which they're also talking about doing something new with.

    Seen 3 episodes so far and I'm blown away by it, the level of detail and craftsmanship that's gone into it is amazing.

    I love Labyrinth too, Jim Henson was at his best when he went into darker territory...
