According to Spurrier, the series features a similar fantasy adventure and has the same "knowing sense of humor" as Labyrinth, but "consciously leans in different thematic directions". [2] He found the ambiguity of Labyrinth was an advantage for him in writing the comic as it allowed him to "ride the concept in [his] own direction for a while without fear of soiling the existing journey nor betraying the canon." [3] Although Jim Henson confirmed in press interviews that the world of the Labyrinth exists in the imagination of the film's protagonist, Sarah, [5] and Jareth "has no reality except what Sarah gives him", [6] the creators of Labyrinth: Coronation decided to "preserve the [film's] elegant ambiguity" about whether the Labyrinth and its inhabitants are real, "while leaning hard into the wonders that arise when Reality Doesn't Matter." [2] According to Spurrier, in the comic, the Labyrinth doesn't exist solely in Sarah's imagination but is "a reactive and plastic environment" which reshapes itself for different people and "exists in part just to present challenges to those who get lost within it." [1] Labyrinth has become a cult film. [100] Brian Henson remembered his father Jim Henson as being aware that Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal both had cult followings by the time of his death in 1990, saying that "he was able to see all that and know that it was appreciated". [101] Academic Andrea Wright wrote that Labyrinth has managed to maintain audience popularity long after its initial release to a greater extent than The Dark Crystal. [56] Since 1997, an annual two-day event called the " Labyrinth of Jareth Masquerade Ball", in which revelers attend dressed in costumes inspired by the film, has been held in various locations, including San Diego, Hollywood, and Los Angeles. [102] Labyrinth has developed a significant internet fan following since the early 1990s, and, as of 2021, FanFiction.Net hosts more than 10,000 stories in its Labyrinth section.

Brian Froud says that Labyrinth was first discussed between himself and director Jim Henson. [12] Both agreed to work on another project together, and Froud suggested that the film should feature goblins. On the same journey, Froud "pictured a baby surrounded by goblins" and this strong visual image, along with Froud's insight that goblins traditionally steal babies, provided the basis for the film's plot. [17] Henson came "the closest I've seen him to turning in on himself and getting quite depressed" following the film's mixed reception, his son Brian told Life magazine. [87] It was the last feature film directed by Henson before his death in 1990. Winning, Josh (May 13, 2010). "Why We Love... Labyrinth". Total Film. Archived from the original on March 8, 2013 .
