I got this from my library and I can't wait to watch it again. I remember seeing this in the theater, although I don't recall about 90% of it. My mother bought me a comic that was the whole story and I read it during lunch before we went to see it. Maybe I've seen it once or twice a long time ago since it was in the theater. I'd like my daughter to watch it with me, but I think it might creep her out. Sadly, I don't think she's going to like horror.
They passed an old woman who was just opening the door of a brown Cadillac. An old man was already sitting in the passenger seat. The car had a personalized plate with the letters “J-U-S-P-R-A-Y”.
“That stuff work?” Israel said to her.
“‘Scuse me?” the little old woman said, clutching her keys.
“The spray. Does it keep them away?”
“Keep who away?” She looked confused.
“I gotcha.” Israel gave her a conspiratorial wink.

Nothing like a Jim Henson movie. I used to love this movie as a kid, some of those puppets still bother me. Although, I found my attention wandering upon recent viewing. I don't know how old your daughter is, but my 7 year old nephew was creeped out by some of the stuff, but that was about the age I watched it. So I had fond memories and creepy memories from it.
She's almost 3. But I didn't get it for her anyway. I can admit the truth. I remember one of the bad guys looking exceptionally creepy. I think he had a beak or something.
Does it stand up upon modern viewing?

Ahh, the skeksies. Creepy things indeed. Come to think of it, all the creatures in that movie were creepy. Even the girl's dog thing Fizzgig.
Why do I remember this!?!?!

Tony, you're only a year and a half older than me and you remember this a lot better than I do. I just remember loving it, despite the fact it's creepy. My mother developed a taste in me for creepy/scary. I saw Creepshow in the theater when I was in Kindergarten. I remember Fizzgig now that you write that.

Well, I found my attention wandering in parts, don't know if it is me or the movie, but it seemed to drag a bit. It is still worth watching though, the skeksis are the ones with the beaks and they are still creepy as hell. Also the scene where they have their feast or whatever is pretty good. Aughra, the scholar is still pretty creepy too and the beetle monster/troops are are as well.
Overall I would say it holds up, to me it just dragged a little.

I'm surprised BB has it. I was surprised my library had it too. But I'll be watching it after my daughter goes to sleep. I'm pretty sure she won't like it.
I wonder if those creepy growing things from the Wiz will scare her, though...
