Rare 80's childrens Movie (or made for tv movie) made with puppets

I'm trying to find a movie (or tv movie) that I enjoyed as a child. It aired sometime during the early 80's.

I remember it taking place in a cave with some green creatures (goblins?). The king was making a wish and they started in a song and dance about how the king would be making this wish this year.

"Our King will make a wish tonight upon a gem that glows so bright and fill our land with happiness and cheer"

There is a creepy character with long fingernails who uses a telescope or binoculars to spy and locate the gems.

Does anyone remember this movie?

Please let me know.

thanks

Jeff

That is a very excellent muppet movie by Jim Henson called "Dark Crystal". I've seen it several times.

The Dark Crystal (1982)

No sorry it's not the dark crystal. It was likely a made for TV movie, but I rented it as a child at the video store.

I figured you might want to PM the person and see if they ever found an answer...they just posted a month ago. I googled and found both of ya'lls posts and that was it....??? Never hurt to try.
