Yesterday as I was babysitting my nieces (8-years-old and 6-years-old), I told them all about David Bowie and his role in Labyrinth and how much I loved this movie when I was their age, I then showed them videos on YouTube of all the songs. After explaining the plot of the movie, the girls decided it was a must-watch.
This morning I woke up to the sound of my youngest niece screaming at the top of her lungs - "THE GOBLINS TOOK THE BABY! THE GOBLINS TOOK THE BABY!" and I realized they had started it without me!! While I was a bit disappointed that they didn't wait for me, I was delighted that they remembered that I told them…
When Sarah says: "I don't know why, but every now and again in my life - for no reason at all - I need you," to Hoggle, she perfectly sums up how I feel about Labyrinth.
Tonight, we lost a star to the stars above.
David Bowie died and it hit me harder than I expected. When I first read the news at around 2am a few hours ago, I sat shellshocked; letting the words "David Bowie dies at 69 after 18 month battle with Cancer" marinate in my mind. I was lost for words. I didn't expect Bowie's passing to get to me as much as it did. And yet I was heartbroken at the thought of the world without David Bowie; a stranger whom I never met.

David Bowie tossing toddlers while singing the magic of dance with a goblin puppet choir is one of life's great pleasures.
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)

Creative with a good message. All the actors put in a good performance, and David Bowie plays a fun and captivating villain. The set design and puppeteering are through the roof. Overall a good coming of age film with an over the top creative fantasy twist.
Creative character designs but god the songs were just terrible. If I had watched this when I was a kid goddamn this would have scared the shit out of me...
It's not without hokeyness and the flatulence jokes are a little more full-on than I'm sure many people would remember, yet there's something about Jim Henson's final film as a director that's insanely mesmerising to me even as an adult and neither of those two things I mentioned earlier really drains the film of what it does great and what makes it so engaging.
I'm biased, though. This is the first live-action movie I ever remember seeing and I really love that strange little subgenre of "ambitious 80's fantasy movie with known actors that disappointed in the box office but has a big cult following now", so I've always had a soft spot.
But boy oh boy, the beautiful puppetry,…
