Jim Henson's Labyrinth Adult Coloring Book

Having read the disappointing reviews, I had resolved not to buy this book - I’m a big Labyrinth fan and a big colouring fan. I had another book from this publisher and the quality was so good I thought I would risk the purchase after all. The paper is great, thick and the illustrations one sided. The illustrations are done by three different artists and although I am not keen on one of them, the other two are good and there is enough to keep me busy for some time. Yes, some are a bit cartoony, but the important aspects of the story, including the worm and the Escher room, are good. The Jareths are not so good. So, it depends on what you want the book for, whether you’ll like it, but I do!

Waited an age for this, ordered in July, now wrapped as a Christmas present. My daughter loves all things labyrinth so I'm sure she'll be pleased 🤗

Most of the pictures are caricatures of their likenesses and are pretty disappointing. The cover picture is probably the best. It's a shame as this could have been a great colouring book.

This coloring book holds no power over meBarely an Jareth pictures and he looks HORRIBLE, not like Jareth at all. So many poses and pictures that could have been done, none with him with the glass orbs that looked cool etc..nadda. Everything looks very cartoonish and as for it being an adult coloring book, maybe four pictures fit that category, the rest look like cartoon pictures or scribbles. These are all one sided pictures so you can use markers, thankfully. Also, they used different artists for this so every page is a different illustrator, which takes away from this I think. Honestly, the cover of this book (which is also a coloring page inside) was the best artwork on the whole thing, and what I was hoping would be the style throughout. As you can see from the photos attached, some pages barely even have a third covered with anything to color. Am I supposed to draw in my own thing? Severely disappointed in this to the point I'll probably send it back. So much potential and it failed majorly.

Buyer beware. This book is not realistic in the least. It's very cartoon like and whimsy. The artistry isn't that good overall. This book is truly disappointing. Regret buying it. They'd get it back if return wasnt half the price of the book to begin with. Alot of pages are mostly empty of art. And the art is elementary at best for coloring. The only bonus is it has good paper quality that's single sided. Only reason for 2 stars.

For the binding, this book is sewn together and the pages are not perforated. If you want to take the pages out to color you’ll probably have to cut the threads apart instead of using an x-acto knife or the like.The back of each page is blank so you can use markers or pens that would usually bleed through, but I still suggest using craft or construction paper to keep the next page safe.The illustrations is where this book falls short. I had to go back and make sure that it was indeed an adult coloring book. The pictures are very cartoonish and leave a lot of blank space- not suited for an adult coloring book. There were still some pretty illustrations, but not at all the dynamic pictures from The Labyrinth that I was looking for. I’m hoping for a redo with more realistic illustrations.

So, so disappointed in this, and feeling misled by the description. The cover image leads you to believe the pages are reminiscent of Froud's character designs. In reality, there are a number of artists who created the drawings, in an array of styles that are nothing like the film. The worst are the completely Disney-esque images, where Sarah looks like Ariel from the Little Mermaid more than anything you'd find in Henson's world. Had to return it.

Totally disappointed. Like most reviewers here, I think it was a waste of money. For an adult coloring book, the characters look very cartoonish, and I didn't even recognize Ludo in one of the drawings! While I realize that they took artistic merit, don't waste your money. Very few of the pictures are worth it.

Pre ordered in May and was so looking forward to getting it. Big let down!! Save your money, even Ludo looks horrible.

A must have for Labyrinth fans! It has art from several different artists with slightly different styles. It's very cartoonish with almost a Disney look to some pictures. I was disappointed with only one page from the ballroom scene with Jareth a d Sarah though.

Not quite what I was expecting. The characters look more Disney-like than Jim Henson, but it's still a cute coloring book overall.

I pre-ordered this months ago, and had nearly forgotten it was coming until it showed up on my doorstep. Beautifully done, the designs are beautiful and I can't wait to start coloring in it... Though I have a feeling I'm going to be super specific about this one... Haha!

Very cartoony. Disappointing. Not what I was expecting from the cover. :(

Kind of disappointed in this. The pictures weren't interesting and I didn't like that there were different artists interpreting different scenes. I would have liked this to have been a more traditional adult coloring book.I am a HUGE Labyrinth fan and so this was a big let down.

The pages are filled with anime-reimaginings and look nothing like the beloved characters of my fave movie.

Some pages are like the movie other are not. Some characters look awful and not like the movie at all.

The recipient absolutely adores it!

I am in love with this coloring book. Very detailed and beautiful! Being one of my all-time favorite movies I am so glad they decided to turn it into a coloring book!
