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.
