The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth are both in their own ways cinematic masterpieces of the 1990s. The most obvious reason why is that the legendary Jim Henson (The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock) directed both films. Not only that, but Jim Henson’s Creature Shop was responsible for the puppetry work in both films. Most excellent puppetry too, as the fact that both films have now become cult classics in the modern day can attest to.

All of which is why Shout! Studios wants to do a home video release of both The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. Not only that, but those releases are even in some very shiny Collector’s Sets too, full of as many physical extras as a Jim Henson fan could possibly want. Don’t believe me? Then why not check out their respective trailers below, and for yourself if these extras are good enough to motivate you into purchasing them?
