Meet The Voices Of The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance | Netflix

[@paweu19]

Best Netflix show ever. Masterpiece.

[@c.t.nelson4314]

Agreed

[@PrinceoftheAbyss]

This has to save Netflix from Disney+. This, and the Witcher.

[@caliberlight2818]

1:13 what 😆

[@Johnlindsey289]

My fave Netflix show now with Stranger Things, Umbrella Academy, Castlevania, Bojack Horseman, Love Death and Robots and more

[@marwanitoh]

@@Johnlindsey289 yeah netflix does have many good shows, they also have bad shows and unfortunately people consider only those when referring to netflix.

[@pandycious]

Lisa Henson: Which famous actors should we cast? Netflix: Yes.

[@BloodyFlowerFilms]

pandesal1977 Honestly, I’ve seen so many versions of this type of comment but I believe it’s absolutely warranted here.

[@Yceb0x]

How much should we promote it compared to other Netflix originals? Netflix: No

[@breeannacharlesworth3141]

I feel like everything in Simon Pegg's career has been leading up to him playing Chamberlain in this. He must have been practicing that whimper for many years, it is exactly like the original actor.

[@TheLovelyLadybug]

When I first heard his voice I legit thought, “Oh! They brought back the original actor!” Simon Pegg did such a great job.

[@JairBPena]

@TheLovelyLadybug I though the exact same thing xd

[@Thatonebrownhuevito]

I also salute him doing *“MmMmmMMMmmm”* perfectly!

[@jakkuwolfinsomnia8058]

What?!!! Simon Pegg voices the Chamberlain?!!! Omg!!

[@dariusbautistachopper]

MmmmmmmmmmmM yesss

[@Chesh89]

If this isn't an all star cast I don't know what is. This whole show is nothing short of a masterpiece.

[@UponLegions]

how dare you not include Hup, best damn character in the show

[@HivisoftheScale]

Also missing the Scroll Keeper, who had a lot of lines, And the Ornamentalist.

[@abaranihei2608]

I LOVE Hup! He is special among all of them, hes so Brave =) i mean all of them are but the way how he fights with his Spoon is just so freaking adoreable and fiercely loyal, I love this little Guy :D

[@PrinceoftheAbyss]

HUP!

[@PrinceoftheAbyss]

And the General. How you gonna do that to Benedict Wong? First they cancel Deadly Class, then he only had one line in Avengers Endgame, now this? Come on, Netflix, give the guy a win.

[@telectronix1368]

It is Hup's destiny always to be left to the side. :-(

[@redacted4166]

This cast is actually mind blowing there’s Hader, Andy, Key, Hamill, Stong, essentially everyone

[@davidbakerscuba]

it's hard to believe that's andy samberg's voice! i could hardly recognized it

[@bornon18]

I could hardly recognize most of them, especially Benedict Wong and Simon Pegg. I wonder if they used some post-processing effects. Because if they didn't, then it's truly amazing.

[@naoisesheerin2519]

I’m in shock here how did I miss this???

[@dontaskmenything]

Realized it was Lena Headey during Fara’s confrontation with Seladon. It was basically a bizarro Cersei

[@bcbabbles]

"You dare try to control Aughra? Aughra can barely control Aughra!!" One of the best damn lines in the show! LOVE. HER.

[@MatthewJSmith-gv7wo]

As someone who grew up with the original Dark Crystal movie, I KNOW these voices. The cast for Age of Resistance did a remarkable job. Each element of this series has been crafted with care to the spirit of the original while adding its own new mark. I hope and trust this level of craftsman ship (because that's what it is!) continues with each season until they finish.

[@KneelB4Bacon]

I agree. I think Aughra and Chamberlain are spot on with their movie versions. Lisa Henson (Jim Henson's daughter) is Executive Producer on this show, so I'm sure she's will make sure this series turns out well.

[@Johnlindsey289]

Season 2 has been greenlighted and the show is a success! You glad it's not a bastardnization like Ghostbusters, Last Jedi, Robocop, and other stuff that insults their franchises? and this and Blade Runner 2049 are examples of how to revive an older film?

[@Tonkkss]

My jaw dropped when I found out Simon Pegg did the voice of chamberlain

[@Noumakara]

Toxxicomane cant recognize his voice at all

[@brittsNAY]

He did such a great job recreating the original voice

[@thekagawalife2081]

Toxxicomane mmmmmMMMMMMmmmm

[@sir_t_dog]

Yes. If you've ever seen a movie with Simon Pegg in it his voice is WAY different.

[@intheraeyne]

Simon and Andy sounded NOTHING like themselves, it's insane.

[@huldrrrr9486]

The cast is top tier, but shoutout to Jason Isaacs, Simon Pegg, Mark Hamill, Keegan Michael Key. I didn't recognize their voices, they gave them so much character while staying true the original voices. Amazing talent

[@HivisoftheScale]

Holy crap! The voice actress of the Collector... is Beautiful! Talk about a huge difference between character and actor!

[@HamaraCS]

Awkwafina did an incredible job voicing the Collector!

[@DannyBoyle-tp5vg]

she has a fat face dude, she is not eveen remotely cute

[@dariusbautistachopper]

Likewise...

[@gabeitchm]

This show is literally the best thing netflix has added in for ever.

[@AKSBSU]

I liked that Lena Heady and Mark Strong played such noble and well-intentioned warriors after seeing them as despicable villains in Game of Thrones and Shazam, respectively.

[@baconeater4133]

Mark Strong was pretty ruthless in Kick Ass as well

[@DanBrown96]

Great. Now where can I get my Hup plush toy, complete with spoon???

[@rbbecker73]

Haha right!!! Thats the first thing i asked my 6 yr old daughter. I figured she'd know. she came back with a "mud sculpture" and it no shit, look EXACTLY like him. well, if Hup had a baby with a chia pet.... she used grass for his hair. WAIT.....

This is my all-time favorite show on Netflix. The detail artwork alone is worthy of watching but then you add all of the phenomenal voice actors and how the puppeteers can bring something to life in such an amazingly, wonderful way and the story plot is incredible. I am very surprised they didn’t include Hup. He’s absolutely one of the top characters in the show. I am also surprised as to how connected I have become to a fictional show of puppets but I’m not embarrassed to say I am a huge fan. I’m trying to think of what would be a good name to call fans of the dark Crystal. Does anyone have any suggestions? I will say I hope in the second season that somehow someway the darkness can be transferred out of Deet. She’s so selfless and gentle. It just sucks having her having to be the sacrifice. I also love the connection between Deet and Rian. He did just lose Mira but I do see the allure Deet gives off naturally. She is unique, eccentric, beautiful, kind and selfless and very clever what male Gelfling wouldn’t want all of those characteristics. I could go on and on talking about the show that’s why I’m looking for some other fans to share some of their favorites And what word would you use to express a mega fan of the dark Crystal
