Jim Henson's Labyrinth: The Novelization

Product Information

Realizing that she is late to babysit her infant half-brother Toby, she rushes home and is confronted by her stepmother who leaves for dinner with Sarah's father. Edit: In the time since I worked on this project I have noticed that someone has made a template of Sarah’s book and put it for sale on Etsy.

The Blu-ray release featured one new special feature, a picture-in-picture track that lasts the length of the film, and interviews with the crew and several minor cast members including Warwick Davis.With 100 scenes with modular elements the game boasts an impressive replayability, with no scene ever being quite the same on each run through. And listen–I don’t like it when authors and publishers and estates go back and change books from the past.

I went to see it again in the theater for its 30th anniversary, and found myself singing and saying every line quietly along with at least half the other audience members. However, the decision was ultimately taken to avoid making a direct sequel and instead produce a fantasy film with a similar atmosphere. 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". If you’re a fan of Labyrinth you’ve probably seen a particular version of the red book floating around the internet, which uses big roses on the cover.

May's changes "humanised the characters" and pleased Henson to the extent that they were incorporated into the film's shooting script. Insight Kids published Labyrinth: Straight to the Castle, an interactive pop-up book for preschoolers by Erin Hunting, in 2021, [119] and will release Labyrinth: Goodnight, Goblin King, a bedtime story book, in September 2023. This was never about making fun of Sarah–in the film, she’s clearly struggling with loving her old things, but knowing something’s not right. The film was adapted into picture book form as Labyrinth: The Storybook, written by Louise Gikow with illustrations by Bruce McNally, [113] and Labyrinth: The Photo Album, written by Rebecca Grand with photographs taken by John Brown from the film set. The most prominent of these postproduction effects was the computer-generated owl that appears at the opening of the film.

This video uses them, along with black and white shots of Bowie performing the song in an elegant room. Archaia published Labyrinth: 30th Anniversary Special, a collection of seven short stories, in 2016 to mark the film's 30th anniversary. Henson pursued Bowie for the role of Jareth and sent him each revised draft of the film's script for his comments. In 2008, the American Film Institute nominated Labyrinth for inclusion on its Top 10 Fantasy Films list. Upon receiving the book I was so excited but found that the book had sustained some damage to the cover, like a couple scuffs.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Sarah Williams is an eccentric, angsty teenager who can’t relate to her stepmother and resents her baby half-brother, Toby. If you have a trait that improves your test, say if you were jumping over a chasm and you were talented at running and jumping, you would roll two dice then look at the higher number.

Once you and your friends are gathered around a table, the Goblin King will help each of the players to create a character to play the game as. And it's a hard, hard project to turn into something commercially viable, because it's so imaginative and surreal that there's no way that it can be done cheaply.And Bowie is done a real disservice by the bland description of Jareth: “his hair was shoulder-length and blond…He was certainly handsome.
