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.
Like many of us, I was just a fan, especially when I was in middle school. That was a period in my life where I discovered a…
Built on the bones of recognizable hero quests and fairy tales, Jim Henson's "Labyrinth" is a lushly designed, thrillingly executed musical fantasy. As allegorical as it referential, the film soars with its performances, songs, artistry, and story. Though it may be close to thirty-years-old, it is as a fresh, fun, and pleasantly dark as the day it was released.
Revolving around Jennifer Connelly's Sarah, "Labyrinth" tells the story of a young woman who, after wishing her baby brother away, must do battle with David Bowie's Gareth, the Goblin King, to ensure the infant's safe return. On her quest, Sarah meets a menagerie of friendly and not-so-friendly creatures that help and hinder her journey.

i literally dont know how to talk about movies like this but it wasnt bad? i think
Was going to give this film a 3 and a half out of five, due to some of the stale acting and the fact that the film is a bit dated in parts, but honestly it would be doing a disservice to the pure creativity at work in this movie, the puppet performance's and David bowies performance are highly enjoyable and really make the movie what it is. Glad I rewatched.
(On a side note I once started watching this film as a child and the scene with the hands terrified me enough to switch it off, glad I came back to it)
Terrific in places – Jim Henson, creepy puppets, and David Bowie as the Goblin King – this is mad and often wonderful. But it is also fairly problematic and tedious in others.
my family used to bully 6 year old me when i said i loved jared the labyrinth king and ive never lived it down and i ask WHY
David Bowie's bulge was the 80s version of Rami Malek's fake teeth in Bohemian Rhapsody. The both had a mind of their own.
