DVD Talk (David Blair)
Like The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth is one of my top-10 favorite movies of all time. (Wow, two Jim Henson movies in my top-10. Must be the muppets) I can watch this movie almost on a daily basis and not get tired of it. I love the story, the characters, ...read the complete Labyrinth movie review at DVD Talk (David Blair)

Columbia Tri Star has done a great job on the disc with solid a/v and a ...read the complete Labyrinth movie review at DVD Talk (Ian Jane)

PopMatters (Jennifer D. Wesley)
In an age of CGI technology, puppeteering may seem more nostalgic than state-of-the-art. But the extras included on the Collector's Edition DVD of Jim Henson's Labyrinth -- including Brian Froud's character sketches and a mock-up of the "Fire Gang" ...read the complete Labyrinth movie review at PopMatters (Jennifer D.
