Thanks for this piece, Chris. It makes me want to rewatch the film. (I'm more familiar with The Dark Crystal.) That said, I'm not quite sure what you're after here. As I see it, part of the trouble with our times is the relegation of the entire inner world (our heart lives) as childhood junk. I suppose your piece leaves me wanting to have that conversation: where is the line between immature fantasy and mature incorporation of our inner lives?
