Jim Henson's Labyrinth: The Novelization

Product Information

The 1986 film was directed by Jim Henson, who designed its special effects and creatures; George Lucas served as executive producer and Terry Jones (of Monty Python) wrote the first draft of the script. The team that worked on Labyrinth was largely assembled from talent who had been involved in various other projects with the Jim Henson Company. Production designer Elliot Scott states that the biggest challenge he faced was building the forest Sarah and her party pass through on their way to Jareth's Castle. When I saw they made a book I was hesitant because, I didn't want the magic that I remember to be gone.

Henson intended the protagonist of the film, at different stages of its development, as a king whose baby had been put under an enchantment, a princess from a fantasy world, and a young girl from Victorian England. I actually cut out the lettering first since it was smaller and I figured if I screwed up there would be less waste. Labyrinth was featured in music trade papers such as Billboard magazine due to Bowie's soundtrack for the film.Saw Tek Meng of the New Straits Times acknowledged that "Sarah's experiences in the labyrinth are symbolic of her transition from child to woman" but ultimately found the film "too linear" for its latent themes to come through. Despite his feeling unworthy of forgiveness for his betrayal, Sarah and the others welcome him back, and they enter the city together. Lee was tasked with writing a novella on which a script could be based, submitting it at the end of 1983.

The Labyrinth is not a game in which you charge forward, sword raised, and slay all which stands before you. Sarah had almost no physical traits in common with her father, taking al

There’s only two spots in the film where we get a look at Sarah’s book, and they’re still super blurry. There’s not a whole lot of new information, but there are a few changes, and in all cases, it’s disturbing. This video uses them, along with black and white shots of Bowie performing the song in an elegant room. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment reissued the film on VHS for the last time in 1999 in the US under the name of its subsidiary company Columbia-TriStar and in the UK the same year, with Inside the Labyrinth included as a special feature.

I’m not 100% sure how accurate the RPG book is to the movie due to that aforementioned blurriness of the screenshots. Now for the new content - while the Froud sketches are wonderful they are inescapably familiar (although the character concepts are new, I’ve seen many other goblin sketches before in Goblins of the Labyrinth and elsewhere); by contrast, the Henson notes are completely fresh and have really captured my imagination. The 2021 Blu-ray disc is the same as the 2016 release, while the 2021 4K Blu-ray disc includes an upgraded 4K transfer with Dolby Vision HDR, and special features such as 25 minutes of deleted and extended scenes with optional commentary by Brian Henson and 55 minutes of footage from the original auditions for the role of Sarah. The Blu-ray release featured one new special feature, a picture-in-picture track that lasts the length of the film, and interviews with the crew and several minor cast members including Warwick Davis. Despite its poor performance at the American box office, Labyrinth was a success on home video and later on DVD.

The film received a Royal Charity premiere at the London Film Festival on December 1, 1986, with Charles, Prince of Wales and Diana, Princess of Wales in attendance.
