Blu-ray's 91% jump in sales announced recently is obviously driving the quantity of catalog releases hitting this fall. Sony has just announced Jim Henson's Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal for Blu-ray release on September 29th, including new features. Suggested Retail Price is $27.95, so expect it to cost less the week of release. I hate copying and pasting press release info, but the extras pretty much speak for themselves as described below.

"These fantastical films sparkle in high definition with an array of exclusive Blu-ray special features including commentary with fantasy illustrator Brian Froud, who collaborated with Henson on both films, behind-the-scenes featurettes and deleted scenes. On The Dark Crystal, fans can play "SkekTek's Crystal Challenge" Trivia Game and save themselves from the scientist's evil efforts to drain their living essence. Additional Blu-ray exclusives include a Picture-in-Picture "Storyboard Track" and "The Book of Thra," a feature that allows fans to learn about and collect their favorite characters and objects from the movie.

"On the Labyrinth disc, fans can get the inside story behind Labyrinth in the "The Storytellers" Picture-in-Picture track which includes all-new interviews with Cheryl Henson and others from the cast and crew."
