The Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal are getting a new 4K Blu-ray release, this time with more bonus content
Two of the best Muppet movies that don’t feature the Muppets, The Labyrinth And The dark crystalare getting new, limited edition 4K Blu-ray Steelbook releases from Shout! Factory. While they don’t arrive until November 19th, you can pre-order either film (or both) exclusively at Walmart for $28.96 each. Fans of these films likely already know that this isn’t their first 4K release. However, both 2-disc sets are also filled with new bonus features to enjoy.
The Labyrinth Steelbook includes the original film in both 4K and 1080p Blu-ray discs, with Dolby 5.1 surround. In addition to more than a dozen featurettes and other bonus content, this version of The Labyrinth includes brand new Q&As with Brian Henson and Toby Froud, and a tutorial on contact juggling (that weird thing David Bowie does with the crystal ball).
The new Steelbook version of The dark crystal comes with 4K and 1080p Blu-ray discs of the original film, also in 5.1 Dolby Digital. Bonus features include an audio commentary from concept designer Brian Froud and a brand new Q&A with Lisa Henson.
As if the Walmart-exclusive Steelbook editions didn’t have enough extras to justify a purchase, Shout! Factory is producing box sets of both films that include a number of collectibles you won’t find anywhere else. The $127.97 limited edition of The Labyrinth comes without the Steelbook sleeve pictured above, but does include an 18×24 inch poster, a collector’s sticker, and a copy of the Hex Deck Labyrinth card game.
The $119.97 limited edition of The dark crystal comes with an 18×24″ poster, a copy of The Dark Crystal Hex Deck card game, and a collector’s sticker. You get the 4K and 1080p Blu-ray discs, but unfortunately there is no Steelbook case included.
