Return to Labyrinth

The Best. Movie. Ever. made now has a sequel, via novel, with "Return to Labyrinth."



You act like I just didn't buy this on amazon.com for $5....and it makes perfect sense that I had to buy the Jarreth action figure that I also found on amazon.... Man today is a great day! I can't wait to get them in the mail!!




The Goblin King has kept a watchful eye on Toby: His minions secretly guiding and protecting the child... Legions of goblins work behind the scenes to ensure that Toby has whatever his heart desires... Preparing him for the day when he will return to the Labyrinth and take his rightful place beside Jareth as the heir to the Goblin Kingdom... That day has come... But no one has told Toby.



Labyrinth brought the fantasy world to us by allowing it to spill over into our world. For the first time, we saw the Jim Henson Creature Shop’s elaborate fantasy creatures interacting with human actors. And for a boy of ten, it made it seem entirely plausible that one day a goblin could come running out of my closet and I could find myself being pulled into the world of Labyrinth myself.



And now, twenty years later, I have. Return to Labyrinth is the official continuation to Jim Henson’s visionary film. The story has been written in collaboration with The Jim Henson Company. This time, Toby (the baby in the movie) is our protagonist, and we learn that Jareth’s interest in Toby in the film may have been more than just his way of getting Sarah into the Labyrinth. This is the first of 3 installments to come! SCORE!!
