I am not into fantasy much, but I checked out the Dark Crystal prequel series on Netflix. My god, it is an incredible achievement! A must watch just for the production alone. Amazing puppets and sets etc. Mark Hamill killed it once again with his voice acting and... 1/2 
it uses pretty much every archetype while still making fearless plot moves. It works. Jim Henson Co. has such a great DARK side. It goes REALLY dark at times. I remembered why the original scared the shit out of me, but this is another level. I can't believe it was ever for kids!
They need to do more with Jim Henson Co. I love this medium, it is so much better than CGI or animation. The textures are so visceral. They should do a Game Of Thrones prequel with it etc. WAY underrated. Studios should be knocking Henson's door down for deals.
The bottom line, I got the message loud and clear that puppetry and tech have hit a new level, as have the budgets for these things. These factors combine to blow open the possibilities. The medium has truly come of age. I want more.
