Prime Video is home to original fantasy series like The Legend of Vox Machina and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, and you can also access some top-notch fantasy movies with your subscription.
Prime Video comes with an Amazon Prime membership, and you can also sign up for the service on its own for $9 per month. If you prefer your fantasy fare without ads, removing them costs an extra $3 per month. If you have Amazon's streamer, it's time to find out what fantasy worlds you can explore without leaving your couch.

Like all things Lord of the Rings? Not only does Prime Video carry Peter Jackson's original film trilogy -- including the Oscar-best-picture-winning The Return of the King -- but you can binge all three Hobbit flicks right now, too. Prime Video also exclusively carries the prequel show The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
In Jim Henson's iconic dark fantasy film, a young Gelfling named Jen -- seemingly the last of his kind -- must go on a harrowing quest to save the world from the villainous (and unfortunate-looking) Skeksis. The movie features animatronic puppets, but no human characters.
Puppets also steal the show in the cult classic Jim Henson film Labyrinth. A teenage girl named Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) faces goblins, their king (David Bowie) and a maze as she tries to rescue her baby stepbrother. Both Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal count as family fare, though Labyrinth will probably inspire fewer nightmares.
