The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, two of director and iconic puppet creator Jim Henson’s beloved movies, are getting 4K Blu-ray collectors editions.

Directed by Henson and Frank Oz, The Dark Crystal follows a pair of Gelflings named Jen and Kira, who try to bring balance back to the kingdom of Thra. To complete the mission, they must stop the evil Skeksis and restore the Dark Crystal.

Labyrinth, directed by Henson with George Lucas as an executive producer, takes teenage Sarah on a trip through a complicated supernatural maze to find her younger brother, Toby. Her quest is impeded by Jareth the Goblin King who tries to convince her to let him have the boy.

While both movies have previously been released in 4K Blu-ray, the collector’s editions include never before seen art and special features.

The Dark Crystal collector’s edition comes with a 28-page book about the movie, plus art cards, a sticker, and replica of the movie’s crystal shard. The first disc has a new fan event Q&A with Lisa Henson and audio commentary by conceptual designer Brian Froud.
