Shout! Presents Collector’s Sets for Jim Henson’s ‘Labyrinth’ & ‘The Dark Crystal’

Just in time for the holidays, Shout! Studios, in collaboration with The Jim Henson Company, will release Labyrinth Limited Edition 4K UHD + Blu-ray Collector’s Set and The Dark Crystal Limited Edition 4K UHD + Blu-ray Collector’s Set on home entertainment shelves on November 19.

Moreover, each Limited Edition SteelBook (4K UHD + Blu-ray) of Labyrinth (starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly) and The Dark Crystal (starring Jim Henson, Kathryn Mullen and Frank Oz) will be available to own separately at Walmart.

The Labyrinth Limited Edition Collector’s Set contains a glass crystal ball (inspired by the one seen in the film) with interior 3D-etching of the movie title, a wooden labyrinth-style base for display, five art cards, a 28-page book with new essay, production stills, concept art by Brian Froud, a collectible sticker, on-disc bonus content and sparkling 4K UHD and Blu-ray versions of Labyrinth. All are packaged in a box with wrap-around illustration featuring original concept artwork from the movie and a lid flap that opens to a window display of the crystal ball.

Released in 1986, Labyrinth is a fantasy adventure that follows Sarah Williams (Jennifer Connelly) as she makes her way through the labyrinth of the Goblin King Jareth (David Bowie) in search of her little brother, Toby.  A mainstay of the fantasy genre with its spectacular visual effects and ground-breaking animatronics, the film contains original songs written and recorded by Bowie especially for the film.

Produced by The Jim Henson Company and Lucasfilm Ltd. with creatures by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, Labyrinth was directed by Jim Henson, working closely with conceptual designer Brian Froud and executive producer George Lucas.
