Following the success of The Dark Crystal, Jim Henson turned his attention to bringing another dark fantasy to the big screen. Brian Froud, who provided the conceptual designs for the previous film was tasked with creating creatures for a new world within a labyrinth. And Monty Python’s Terry Jones signed on to write the screenplay based on a story from Henson and Dennis Lee heavily influenced by The Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, and Maurice Sendak‘s Outside Over There. The film is so closely related to the latter, it nearly prevented Labyrinth‘s release until legal complaints were settled.
