Original Jim Henson Movie Posters

Jim Henson movie posters from The Muppet Movie (1979), The Dark Crystal (1982), and Labyrinth (1986) are among the most tonally distinctive items in 1980s family cinema collecting — original theatrical paper from productions that created genuinely new visual worlds rather than adapting existing ones. Shop our collection of original one-sheets, advance formats, and international printings from his theatrical productions — each featuring campaign artwork that reflects the extraordinary visual ambition of the films themselves. First-release examples of The Dark Crystal (1982) and Labyrinth (1986) in fine condition are particularly scarce, especially the advance and teaser campaigns that used different artwork from the final release. Henson's film campaigns reflect the challenge of marketing work that defied easy genre categorisation — simultaneously children's entertainment, adult fantasy, and technical showcase. The Muppet Movie (1979) produced a warmly illustrative campaign contrasting sharply with the darker, painterly designs of The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. International printings across all three productions deployed markedly different approaches to presenting the characters and world-building imagery.
