What, like how CGI was used to "perfect" the animatronics of "The Thing"? Just leave the computers to editing and compositing. The rest can be done in-camera.

Seriously dude, beep you. Thats WHY The Dark Crystal stands out to this day it tells a fantasy story set in a fantasy land using only puppetry and practical effects. To me, the effects in Dark Crystal work so well because everything you see really was in front of the camera- unlike CGI they were effects you could touch, created in the same way and fitting into the world every bit as well as Jin himself. Update it with CGI? Sure, if you think "OZ the Great and Powerful" was the classic Wizard follow up we've all been waiting for. However, if you're hoping for a film that even attempts to re-capture the magic of the original, then hope the filmmakers go back to basics and not to the nearest computer screen.

you can not remake this movie. It is what it is and that's why we love it. and it is brilliant because of the way it was done.
Leave this movie alone. Free your mind. Make a new one if you want to and then ask people if they like it.
Stop comparing things that cannot be compared.
Stop thinking that bringing more 'realistic' or 'latest' CG will make a better movie. It does not matter which tools you use, it only matters that you put your heart and soul into it, to bring everything to life. Technology is only a tool. Quality does not come from the tools you're using
And that is why in recent years we have heard so many times about promising movies and then were disappointed big time watching them.
I am sick and tired of hearing "The Wilhelm" ! -

No, no, a thousand times no. Movies any more are all flash and CG and very little substance.
Watch the "making of" documentary/special feature about T
he Dark Crystal
and see how much time, effort, and heart that went into it. Those costumes were real. They had weight and texture and articulation. People got inside them; you could touch them. CG would turn this movie into another piece of Disney fluff.
