Jim Henson's Labyrinth: The Novelization

Product Information

May met with Henson in several months, prior to the start of filming in April 1985, and was asked to polish the script. But the really sad thing is that this came out when Jim Henson was still alive, which means he let this happen. The illustrations in the back were so cool to examine and I loved seeing Jim Hensons thought process and the way he came up with obstacles for Sarah and ideas for scenes that ended up not making the cut. Ambrosius", Sir Didymus' canine steed, was voiced by Percy Edwards, who had previously supplied the voice of "Fizzgig" in The Dark Crystal. She has trouble finding her way at first and meets a talking worm who inadvertently sends her in the wrong direction.

In October 2023, Derrickson stated he was unsure whether the sequel is going to be made, as "We never got the script all the way to a place where the studio wanted to make it . Contemporary critics and audiences didn't know what to make of it--too edgy for a family film but too whimsical for teens reared on MTV and John Hughes movies. While Labyrinth : The Ultimate Visual History book that I reviewed back in 2017 serves as more of a conventional art/making of book for the movie, with original concept art by the amazing Brian Froud, Bestiary is truly an artistic showcase focusing on just the creatures of Labyrinth, and both books compliment each other with no overlapping material in terms of the featured art work. Underground" was released in various territories as a single and, in certain markets, was also released in an instrumental version and an extended dance mix.Its scheduled April 2014 release slot [133] was replaced by Archaia's reissue of the Labyrinth novelization. It was the last feature film that Henson directed, and over the years it has been re-evaluated by many critics. Henson noted that he wished to "make the idea of taking responsibility for one's life, which is one of the neat realisations a teenager experiences, a central thought of the film".

In light of this, Jones "discarded it and sat down with Brian [Froud]'s drawings and sifted through them and found the ones that I really liked, and started creating the story from them". In the extensive junkyard scene, Jareth operates the Junk Lady as a puppet, whereas, in the film, she is autonomous. Even though the above images are blurry you can still tell that the flowers are some sort of stemmed bouquet, the single roses just aren’t accurate.I understand I can change my preference through my account settings or unsubscribe directly from any marketing communications at any time. Finally back in print and for the first time in hardcover is the novelization of LABYRINTH written by A.
