I saw both as a child and still love both. I couldn't pick a favourite.
They're very different films and I'll watch one or the other depending on what I want to get out it. I watch Labyrinth more often though.

I think it's unfair to compare them. I love them both.
Dark Crystal is a much deeper storyand Labyrinth is more comedic and silly, IMO.
I watch them both all the time.
This is a logic free zone:

Considering they're different films visually and thematically, I say both. They're different and yet the same. Companion films and yet not. There's enough in them that's the same that they belong together on the movie shelf, but enough that's different that I don't feel I need to pick one over the other as my favorite. And which one I watch is just dependent on my mood at the time.

Dark Crystal.
Labyrinth is definitely a lot of fun (especially if you're a Bowie fan), but it has so many flaws. Dark Crystal is the better film in my opinion, it's more original and artfully done. -

Well I DID see the Labyrinth first, and loved it, but I thought TDC had a more creative and original look to it, while "Labyrinth" kinda reminded me of an upbeat "Alice in Wonderland." That's not to say it's not good, they're both excellent. But if I had to choose, I'd go with "Dark Crystal", mostly because the story's edgier and the message is much stronger.

Sorry I will be Bias here to The Dark Crystal.. As I grew up with it mostly than Labyrinth.. I mean Labyrinth was good but it did not have that Essence that The Dark Crystal had and the way the world was portrayed with all the characters is just awesome..
I like Labyrinth but To Me I think The Dark Crystal is the better movie
I am the HNIC! -

labyrinth was the best the dark crystal terrified me as a child
and i ony recently tried to watch it again. the only thing scary
about labyrinth was david bowie's huge package.
oh yeah, and willow was a good movie that came out
about that time too. also a little bit scary for a kid -
particularly when they all turn into pigs. but another
good one nonetheless. -

This. Exactly.
Dark crystal scared me too much when I was young, although I'd like to give it a shot now that I'm older. Plus it was hard to sympathize with puppets alone. Plus you can't beat a soundtrack by David Bowie.
