In 1986, Jim Henson joined forces with talented fellow filmmakers and a musical icon to tell the story of Labyrinth, resulting in an everlasting cult classic that has endured for 40 years. While he may be best-known for the charming characters of The Muppets, Henson and his company have either been involved in projects with darker tones or crafted them themselves, such as The Dark Crystal. Features such as The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth retain the careful, practical work behind Henson’s creatures with more mature and riskier storytelling.
