"I ask for so little. Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave."

Following the success of The Dark Crystal, Jim Henson's production company had to raise the bar for their next ambitious feature. Keeping in tradition with Henson's prior film, the state-of-the-art puppetry would be heavily employed to create a captivating fantasy world. Henson's eye for detail remai... read more

My brother and I watched this movie so many times on VHS that the audio at the beginning was all warped and off. But it leveled out as after the credits.

Sarah has wished her annoying baby brother away, and it's up to her to go into the labyrinth and solve a few puzzles, and avoid some dangers to get him back in a mere 13 hours.

Great music by David Bowie (who is per... read more

After being told how amazing this movie was year after year, I finally managed to sit through it. I like Neverending story better.

Films and the critics who hate them (741 movies items)

"Unfortunately, this contemporary (at least, for the era) fairy tale, directed and co-written by Muppets creator Jim Henson, never sets a timely tone beyond the 1980s. It remains disappointingly tethered to yesteryear. - Desson Thomson, Washington Post Henson's imagination is boundless. But his movie has no pep. It's a dream in neutral. - Wesley Morris, Boston Globe Great energy and creativity went into the construction, production and direction of this movie, but it doesn't have a story that"

Movie Reviews (part 4) (50 movies items)

" The Ups: The first film where my sights were put on the gorgeous (and then young) Jennifer Connelly. The Labyrinth is a superb visual. David Bowie is a memorable villain. Nice alternative to the "Alice in Wonderland" story. The Downs: Juvenile Muppet characters. Terrible David Bowie music. Some misplaced humor. "

Watching Closely?50 Mind-Blowing Fan Theories (47 movies items)

" The Fan Theory: Labyrinth is a metaphor for a girl struggling with the onset of puberty. Why It’s Mind-Blowing: Think about it… the whole thing is about a young girl taking responsibility and going in search of a child. The labyrinth around her is constantly changing, and challenging her along the way, a la a teenage body. And then there’s the involvement of Jareth, with his extremely pronounced codpiece…"
