Sucks to be a Podling...
Did the Podlings ever get the *beep* end of the stick in this movie or what? For most of the movie we watch them toiling miserably as zombie-like slaves. When we do get to see the Podlings at home, they seem to be kind, fun loving creatures who enjoy a good barn dance. What happens after the adorable scene at the Podling party? Well, giant killer beetles smash in and drag them screaming to the Skeksis castle, where they are all given the fantasy world version of a lobotomy by mutant killer birds.
