The plot may be old and the music dated, but Henson's creatures are timeless.

Her dream becomes reality when goblins kidnap the boy--but Sarah... Fifteen-year-old Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) is so resentful of her baby brother Toby that she hopes he will just disappear. Her dream becomes reality when goblins kidnap the boy--but Sarah unexpectedly finds herself horrified by the loss. So she sets forth to retrieve him, and finds herself on the adventure of a lifetime. To accomplish her task, she will somehow have to reach the center of the fantastical labyrinth where the wicked Goblin King (David Bowie, who performs two songs) has imprisoned the lad. But the task is easier said than done, for the maze is filled with strange creatures and mind-bending puzzles that confuse the girl. Directed by Jim Henson and penned by Monty Python's Terry Jones, LABYRINTH is a distinctive, beautifully designed dark fantasy for all ages. [More]

Reviews for Labyrinth
On LABYRINTH, the "Journey Through the Labyrinth" documentary is in two parts that include rediscovered footage, new interviews and much more, which is a cool addition to any fan of the film.
The Collector’s Edition appears to be basically a replay of the Superbit release, but this is still a nice improvement over the first edition of the film.
