Description:
MIRRORMASK is the story of Helena, who works for the family circus, and wishes--quite ironically--that she could run away and join real life. But such is not to be the case, as she finds herself on a strange journey into the Dark Lands, a fantastic landscape filled with giants, Monkeybirds and dangerous sphinxes. Helena searches for the Mirrormask, an object of enormous power that is her only hope of escaping the Dark Lands, waking the Queen of Light and returning home.
The long-awaited DVD boasts more than an hour of exclusive extra features. Fans can go Behind the Scenes with Dave McKean, have a conversation with Neil Gaiman in the Neil Talks feature, or watch the Flight of the Monkeybirds in the special featurette, along with many more exclusive features and scenes.
Amazon.com:
This visually stunning film is the product of a collaboration of award-winning graphic novelist Neil Gaiman (creator of the much-lauded Sandman series), his frequent collaborator Dave McKean (Cages), and The Jim Henson Company, themselves no strangers to elaborate fantasies such as The Dark Crystal. and Labyrinth. As with the latter film, MirrorMask focuses on a young woman unhappy with her daily existence; here, the artistically inclined Helena (Stephanie Leonides), is at odds with her circus performer parents. When a careless insult appears to send her mother (Gina McKee) into a coma, Helena withdraws into the dark and elaborate world of her drawings, in which a scenario very similar to her predicament in the real world is unfolding. Gaiman and director McKean create arresting images to populate Helena's world, and the Henson Company brings them vividly to life with CGI; though the story is occasionally murky, the fantasy elements are imaginative enough to enthrall what will undoubtedly be the film's toughest customers--younger viewers. --Paul Gaita

Oh boy. I just don't get the foreign angle to most stories. They just keep going and going and going. Just when you think it's over, bam! something else comes up. At the end I always feel like saying "What just happend?"
Also, the boy/girl love connection is a bit off. The girl seems way too young for the male love interest. I guess we're supposed to believe 10 years passed by without the girl maturing AT ALL. I guess it could happen like it did in Star Wars except it still wasn't ... Read More

The Jim Henson Company, Dave Mckean and Neil Gaiman are binge stealing unique images and ideas from talented artist around the world, making "their big names" out of it.
In 1998 I worked for the Jim Henson Creature Shop in London. They scaned a lot of my artwork during my job interview with them (producer Michael Turoff).
In 2004 Jim Henson Creature Shop in London, Dave Mckean and Neil Gaiman used my imagery without a permission as a blueprint for character design for the Mirrormask. ... Read More

So, basically, this is a special effects piece through and through. And a rather bizarre one at that (my first impression was "Wizard of Oz on LSD"). The imagery is strange, ethereal, slightly jarring at times and occasionally a bit dark (though never frighteningly so).
The movie is, in large part (aside from the beginning and end), a dream-world. And, much as dreams often don't make sense, neither does this world when it comes right down to it. As such the plot seems a bit contrived at times ... Read More

I came to Mirrormask with no expectations other than that the film was Neil Gaiman's pet project, and anything Gaiman passionately believes in is something I wanted to see.
Mirrormask's style is a combination of those psychedelic Beatles cartoons mixed with The Neverending Story, Legend, and Labyrinth - appropriate, since The Jim Henson Company helped create the virtual world where the movie takes place. At its heart, Mirrormask is about a girl, Helena (Stephanie Leonides) and her independence ... Read More
