In January 2016, it was announced that a sequel was in development, which screenwriter Nicole Perlman described as more of a 'spin-off' in the same fictional universe. Tokyopop published the four-volume comic sequel Return to Labyrinth between 20. It was first met with a mixed critical response upon its release but over the years, it has been re-evaluated by critics and gained a large cult following. It was the last feature film Henson directed, and the poor reception contributed to a difficult period of Henson's career, according to his son Brian Henson. The film was a box office disappointment, grossing $12.9 million during its U.S. The New York Times reported that Labyrinth had a budget of $25 million. It was shot from April to September 1985 on location in Upper Nyack, Piermont, and Haverstraw, New York, and at Elstree Studios and West Wycombe Park in the United Kingdom. Various other scriptwriters rewrote it and added to it, including Laura Phillips, Lucas, Dennis Lee, and Elaine May-although Jones received the film's sole screenwriting credit. Terry Jones of Monty Python wrote the first draft of the film's script early in 1984, drawing on Froud's sketches for inspiration. The film started as a collaboration between Henson and Froud following their previous collaboration The Dark Crystal (1982). Most of the film's main characters, apart from Bowie and Connelly, are played by puppets produced by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. It revolves around 16-year-old Sarah's ( Jennifer Connelly) quest to reach the center of an enormous otherworldly maze to rescue her infant half-brother Toby, whom Sarah accidentally wished away to Jareth, the Goblin King ( David Bowie).

Labyrinth is a 1986 musical fantasy film directed by Jim Henson, with George Lucas as executive producer, based upon conceptual designs by Brian Froud.
