Jareth (David Bowie) and the Goblins celebrate the arrival of their newest member. Subscribe for more Labyrinth and the Jim Henson Company's Fantasy Favorites!
These aren't Muppets. Just because they were created for a Jim Henson film, doesn't mean that their Muppets! I mean, do you think _this_ is a Muppet? www.deviantart.com/legrande62/art/HANS-MY-HEDGEHOG-COSTUME-MAKEUP-THE-STORYTELLER-590530278 Hmmm?
"Alright, Mr. Bowie, in this scene we need you dance around and sing with these weird puppets" "You say that like it's the strangest thing I've ever done"
Me to my 15 year old brother: alright I’m gonna offer you to the goblin king so we can meet Bowie My brother, a hardcore Bowie fan- say no more say no more
You realize how much he actually cares about the kid. Then you notice that despite being the goblin king he's almost entirely human. Meaning that he was taken in by the previous goblin king and raised by him. Meaning that once upon a time he was like toby, but no one came to get him.
I've always thought that was the story and suspect I must have seen something similar said in an interview. And also that Jared doesn't actually want to do that to the child. That he is forced to play his part but not really trying to win.
It's a shame that this movie bombed back when it first came out in 86 cause looking at a scene like this you can tell that they put alot of effort and dedication to this
Iirc it became a cult hit pretty much immediately after being released on VHS though, so at least the people who made it got to see their work appreciated eventually
I think it was the lack of a cohesive plot. I mean the concept is fantastic, but it needed something more. For instance some kind of plot device to better connect play that the main character was rehearsing for with her final showdown with the goblin King. Also why is the goblin King so human looking, and lastly A better explanation as to how a story she was telling to her little Brother just off the top of her head winds up becoming true. And I’m all for magical surrealism but it needs to be properly executed so that you’re not obsessing about the details when you’re watching the story unfold.
My older sister recently had a kid. When I was holding him with her nearby I said, "You remind me of the babe". My sister: "What babe?" Me: "The babe with the power." Sister: "What power?" Me: "The power of voodoo!" Sister: "Who do? Me: "You do!" Sister: "Do what?" Me: "Remind me of the babe." It amazed me that she remembered since I didn't think she watched or remembered Labyrinth at all from when we were kids. Then again maybe she remember because of Bowie.
I was literally just thinking about this because I recorded this on VHS back in the 80's and showed it to my daughter who was born in 85'. She would sit and watch this movie all day long sometimes, if you let her. I used to say this dialogue with her when she was young and now she's pushing 40. She recently came out to visit me and over a cup of coffee we chatted a bit and I said "you remind me of the Babe" and she immediately remembered every single word.
@@danielwalker26 Even funnier fact, he is the son of the main puppetieers of this film, and originally this "role" wasnt his but the child who was supposed to play the baby was affraide of the puppets and they couldnt film with him, so he got the role.
@@facsatella No no. Toby Froud is the son of Brian Froud, the designer, and Wendy Froud, one of the puppet builders. None of them did any puppeteering in this movie whatsoever.
Wow, I didn't know Michael was asked to be in this film. I am so glad he turned it down. This was not the role for him...he was superb as The Scarecrow in "The Wiz". But the Goblin King IS Bowie's. :)
I remember always focusing on his package as a kid wondering what he was hiding down there... Always figured it was something magical and full of wonder... I was right...
It's kind of a shame really that they couldn't clone David Bowie to play King Thranduil. The is how I have always pictured him, perhaps with longer hair.
If I remember well, he was offered to play Elrond in LOTR but he had other commitments so Hugo Weaving was cast instead. I love Elrond but Bowie had the perfect face to be an elf.
My favorite bit is the little goblins that change the path say " Your mother is a fraggin Aardvark" 🤣 also the song will forever be legendary just as Bowie himself 💖💫
When Muppets went into a new genre... The world wasn't ready for it. This and the Dark Crystal was Jim Henderson trying to prove puppets could be taken seriously.
@@jaxkitten2381 Uh.... no. Take a look at this Jim Henson interview from 1982. users.bestweb.net/~foosie/henson.htm As he clearly states, "I have a feeling that the characters are just not Muppets at all. We hesitate to call them puppets even." "instead of puppetry we're trying to go toward a sense of realism - toward a reality of creatures that are actually alive and we're mixing up puppetry and all kinds of other techniques. It's into the same bag as E.T. and Yoda, wherein you're trying to create something that people will actually believe, but it's not so much a symbol of the thing but you're trying to do the thing itself." Jim Henson often had to struggle telling people that he was more than just The Muppet Man.
He was my first love!!! I still carry the torch!! I admit....when my eldest son was 6 months old..screaming..refusing to sleep.... I cried out.. I wish the goblins would come take you away right now......alas...27 years later...my son is still a pain in the arse and Im still waiting for the goblin king....-sighs-
Fun fact: I actually got to meet the actor who played Toby. He was 28 years old at the time. I was 16. He was a very nice, sweet young man. I wonder where he is now....
@@theseashellqueenfandomgal9333 *SO YOU HAVE CHOSEN DEATH...* lol. It's so nice to see people talk about this movie to this day. It's just makes me really happy :)) Also how do y'all feel about sequel slowly coming up?
i had crush on david bowie even before i started to listen to his music or watched that film and my dad raised me on jim hensons movies so its a perfect nostalgic combo...
The best part is : the real Toby is the puppet designer on dark crystal. The puppets share a striking resemblance to these ones... You could say he really did become the goblin king
@@timbutler5033 That the bad news was over ten years ago when i saw it. Was a short series, but like i said ten years ago. but imagine if you write the title of the movie and manga version may appear.
You can tell the baby isnt scared of the goblins cause if you seen the video of the making of this movie you will find out the baby's dad came up with the designs for the goblins and other creatures in this movie.
Not only did his dad draw the goblin designs, but his mother helped bring them to life! He must have seen so much of their works at home that they were like toys to him.
I got my girlfriend to watch Labyrinth for the first time and she is a cosplayer. She told me her next project is to recreate Sarah's dress and a Jareth costume for me so we can couple cosplay.
Watching this brings back so many childhood memories I can't tell you how many times I have watched the movie. David Bowie had such an amazing voice & wonderful actor too may he RIP
I don't know how intentional it was but I love how one can infer a pretty solid backstory for Jareth from scenes like this. Not only is he out of place physically among the goblins, but also as a person. There he is, sitting on his throne, waiting for time to pass while being surrounded by idiots. He is clearly not from here, obviously stuck. Might as well improvise a number and order the minions to enjoy it. I love this film.
They were both rolling superior machine thru out the 80s need to say more i love to return in spirit and never leave too many words to describe the list is endless pinnacle World with these guys were firing on all cylinders class scale can't be matched or touched forever surely 80s deserve to live on forever it rightly so memories magical fairytale dreams like this Movie cause we had plenty of top notch entertainment we can going back we never thought it at the time now after hard to believe coming into it's 40years no way flawless but like myself getting old suxs feeling pressure all the time just to live with not much left to go on just the legends of this 80s cause time double now it's under half flying to fast
Has anyone ever realised that Jareth wanted to send Sarah to the beginning because he knows she won't give up and she will keep coming back so he gets to see her even more? and because he sends her back, he resets time again so she will stay longer! and this then fits in with the ending where he talks about how generous he has been and he wants her to love him!!!
I got to see this at 8 years old in '86,changed my life forever. Not only did I get to see Bowie(this weirdo dude my mom adored)but also my first real crush...Jennifer Connely.
My favorite movie of all time. When I saw it in the theater I wondered why I could not be as cool and impressive ad David Bowie in that character. Now I understand no one can be as cool and impressive as David Bowie. Period.
I still am sad that this film was not well-received at the time. But then, the '80s were a VERY strange time for films. People were much fussier & basically DEMANDED to know what each film was 'about'.....meaning which genre. No one knew what category this one was, apparently. I am sooooo glad it got the attention & love it deserved since! :)
This was my fovorite song in the whole movie, and I loved to see him interacting with the baby. RIP, my king. You will Dance Magic, Dance in the stars now.
Mom and dad used to dance to this song while holding me when I was the same size as Toby, tossing me between them during the "Jump magic Jump" parts. Favorite childhood memory
So unfair that baby got a free David Bowie concert lucky bastard................. I wrote this comment when i was drunk it ain't mine i took it from someone else just thought I'd come back and tell ya
I love the architecture of the Labyrinth, and how they painted the sky greyer and greyer as they approached the castle. Definitely a surreal experience when I saw this as a kid. To this day, I still dream of places that look very similar to Jareth's Labyrinth when I go to sleep.
He was also smart, an avid reader who went thru a book a day (look up his fav 100 books) and cared about equality and representation, in music anyway (look up his MTV interview).
I love that Toby grew up to continue on with puppeteering with the Jim Henson company...Taron Egerton (Rian's voice actor in Age of Resistance) fanboyed when he met Toby~
I'm a Mom (57 years old) who along with two exceptional friends my kids have always called their "Wicked Step-Aunts", that raised her daughter (40 years old) and son (37 years old) to love and appreciate this movie as much as we still do. My kids and I watched this movie for thie first time together with the "Wicked Step-Aunts" a very, very long time ago. ❤ My daughter has raised our soon to be 10 year old granddaughter to love this movie as well. It's our Family Tradition. ❤ ~ APRIL LIPKE
David Bowie. The only man who could be surrounded by Muppets and still be the most bizarre person in the room.
What about Alice Cooper or Vincent Price? 😸
Love this comment)))
Anynom that is because I was not there 😉

"Alright, Mr. Bowie, in this scene we need you dance around and sing with these weird puppets"
"You say that like it's the strangest thing I've ever done"
I don't know if he said this but omg if he didn't than this is defo something he would say and I can imagine it in his voice
Totally lol
It's in the top five.
David Bowie isn't dead, he is just waiting in the castle in the center of the labyrinth with Ludo, Sir Didymus, Ambrosia and Hoggle for all of us.
Eventually my dreams will take me there.
Me to my 15 year old brother: alright I’m gonna offer you to the goblin king so we can meet Bowie
My brother, a hardcore Bowie fan- say no more say no more
Im crying
I love to go their

90%: David Bowie singing.
10%: “Your mother is a fraggin’ aardvark!”
Is THAT what that goblin said?? I've seen this dozens of times, and never could figure that out! LMAO
LMAOOOO
This is the best comment
🎶You remind me of the babe🎶
That part
Idk why but Bowie forcing everyone to laugh always gets me to laugh along
I bet that Jared wanted Sarah to stay with him to have a conversation with someone with a IQ above two digits.
@@varric probably more than 1 digit if I were to be honest the goblins aren't very bright
Exactly and this is why he's the best goblin king
Bc we all serve the goblin king
It's because he hypnotized you . . . with his ummm Major Tom.
He took better care of the kid than his damn sister did
Cat Santos yes.. yes he really did 😂
Yes 😅
Yeah
Yes!! He was! With his powerful singing! :)
HE REALLY DID THO-
My older sister recently had a kid.
When I was holding him with her nearby I said, "You remind me of the babe".

Fun fact: David Bowie also did the voice of Toby, in this song.
Funner fact: The actor who was Toby is a puppeteer and creator of goblins and trolls.
Actually, that was in the recording for the album, not the movie.
@@ginnyjacobs99 The SONG in the Labyrinth film. As I originally said, David Bowie, voiced Toby, in the SONG.

Edit: why did this one comment blow up.......
17, just watched and you’re not the only one 😂 Goblin king is 😍🥵🥵
Then I see the movie I was instantly in with david because of his voice
Dude, I'm 22, married, and pregnant. I'm still in love with him!
I still am LOL
Me and my best mate used to watch this everyday after school. We were about 7 and completely in love 😂
Is it weird that I had a crush on the goblin king when I was younger?
Same here David bowie was my first celebrity crush in my high school days, and I was crushed when he passed
no
Not weird at all
David Bowie, God rest your soul. He was my dream king! He'll forever be the one and only Goblin King. No one will ever replace him, NO ONE!
Nope david bowie as jareth (the goblin king) was the shit hey i still crush over his performance.....david bowie xx
RIP David. You’re doing the Dance, Magic Dance in the cosmos now.
Yeah😂😪
Every time: No, David Bowie didn't die, he just went home.
Also RIP Jim Henson
The Starman .
@@SrChr778 ur gay
Michael Jackson was the first to be asked to be the goblin king. I'm so glad he turned it down.

Yeah me too lol David was packing 😄
It's kind of a shame really that they couldn't clone David Bowie to play King Thranduil. The is how I have always pictured him, perhaps with longer hair.
Now I’m imagining Thranduil singing and dancing around the battleground...and I approve. Seriously, though, I could see him as Thranduil.
If I remember well, he was offered to play Elrond in LOTR but he had other commitments so Hugo Weaving was cast instead. I love Elrond but Bowie had the perfect face to be an elf.

He wouldn't look good as that to me.

David Bowie: Yes.
So no one’s going to talk about how is Toby vibing along with the Goblins the fact that he’s not scared of them looking frightening/unsettling?

He grew up to be a puppeteer himself actually!
He’s really just vibing there, but if I had David Bowie singing to me I probably would too.

I like this comment quite a bit.
awwww yes this makes me feel so much better about his passing (even tho its was 5 yrs ago)
Bro
*David back then was a legend in this movie*
I always heard slap the baby make it scream
They did do a sequel for the story in a manga. The Goblin King brought a grown up toby to take his place as Goblin King so he could retire.
The best part is : the real Toby is the puppet designer on dark crystal. The puppets share a striking resemblance to these ones...
You could say he really did become the goblin king
And he made a magic clone of sarah.
Where can I find this manga sir?

Was a short series, but like i said ten years ago.
but imagine if you write the title of the movie and manga version may appear.
That sucks.
Just watched this movie last night couldn’t help singing
I loved this song since I was kid!
David Bowie sure enjoyed himself making this movie.
David Bowie the perfect babysitter
My daughter fell in love with David Bowie just like me.
You can tell the baby isnt scared of the goblins cause if you seen the video of the making of this movie you will find out the baby's dad came up with the designs for the goblins and other creatures in this movie.
And he grew up to follow in his dad’s footsteps and work as a puppeteer on the Dark Crystal Netflix series
He may not have been afraid of the goblins, But Toby Froud admitted that he was and still is afraid of Jareth.
Not only did his dad draw the goblin designs, but his mother helped bring them to life! He must have seen so much of their works at home that they were like toys to him.

Cool
Classic and dang David looking beautiful as the goblin king
I think we all had a heart attack when he threw Toby up and walked away
Little did we know....Bowie would be the inspiration for Michael Jackson and Blanket.
Good thing Toby survived thx to a goblin
I've never seen a sexier man in leggings 😍
Same 💖

Yeah 🤩
Then we look at Tim Curry from Rocky Horror Picture show. Both great men
Heck yeah😍
not gonna lie, I'm coming here after watching adult swim
Same here, but thought that it sounded familiar though

Me too
The creator took this video down for like a few weeks so all the comments including mine were deleted and mine had like 978 likes smh

I loved David's music then found this movie and I became a die hard fan. No one should look that good in leggings.
He looked that good in leggings since the early 70's. I obviously only know this because someone once told me.
Man, even as an 11 year old kid, I could appreciate the epicness of that codpiece.
did you know he sang this live

Check out 2.50 minutes. Theres your comment or question .... coke ? .... and i love bowie but ...
Watching this brings back so many childhood memories I can't tell you how many times I have watched the movie. David Bowie had such an amazing voice & wonderful actor too may he RIP

Gonna do the exact same thing with my kids, while cosplaying this handsome man
This was well inspired. All him. He wanted to do this. That's rare. He didn't ask to have it done for him every step of the way.... You can just know.
David Bowie did this movie for FUN! This was a vacation for him.
I saw this with my dad for the first time because he likes stuff like this and I totally forgot about it until now, when RUclips recommended me this
I loved this David Bowie song since I was a kid.
You Remind Me of The Babe!
I just love how he like surrounded by idiots and he looks so bored she decides to sing a song love it ❤❤
I've seen this movie too many times, it was made way before I was born, but this is right up my alley, it's like a fever dream.
So unfair that baby got a free David Bowie concert lucky bastard.................
I wrote this comment when i was drunk it ain't mine i took it from someone else just thought I'd come back and tell ya
My sentiments exactly
😂😂❤️
😂😂😂😂
Then you're a dumb fuck so was the original comment only less so.
DRUNKARD! Lol. Is drunkard a word?
Still love this move anyone with me? 2021
he was so sexy and awesome, i wish i was born earlier to see him live
I am🤣🤣
same here :(
I agree he is perfection
Sound of his voice and accent 🥰 and those eyes and smile.
the best film of my childhood
It definetly was one of my favourites.
The dancing goblin w/the red fabric on his hips behind Jareth's left shoulder at 1:01 will never stop being funny to me.
I love the architecture of the Labyrinth, and how they painted the sky greyer and greyer as they approached the castle. Definitely a surreal experience when I saw this as a kid. To this day, I still dream of places that look very similar to Jareth's Labyrinth when I go to sleep.
It really is cool I like the aesthetic looks to it that and neverending story lol
i haven't seen the movie in years... this was my favorite song.... I LOVE THE LABRYINTH HAHAHAHAAAH
Oh David Bowie I miss you so much, you left us all blue!
*He's good looking and fantastic voice what more can you ask for?* ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
He was also smart, an avid reader who went thru a book a day (look up his fav 100 books) and cared about equality and representation, in music anyway (look up his MTV interview).
All of my grand kids love this movie why not can't go wrong with Bowie :)
I'd dance with him in that bubble forever. In fact the 👗 she wears is my fantasy wedding 👗.
The dress is so beautiful!
Blessed be David, Jim and Terry. They really made a timeless classic with this one
Anyone else born in 2000-2005 obsessed with this movie even though it’s from the 80s and agree that David Bowie is sexy as heck in it 😂😂
Hail to the goblin king
look at all that detail on that set and in the puppets. A lost art for sure.
Luckily I was named after David Bowie’s character in this movie. And I loved cosplaying his character.
Your parents are so cool to have done that!!
Cool
My God I remember singing and dancing to this or at least trying to as I was 3 at the time this came out lol
Me as a kid:
David Bowie: Dance, magic dance!
My sexual awakening: okay!
Sister that happens to all of us
One of my most favorite shows of all time
Oh you too 🥰💜😍😅
glad i aint the only one ahhahaha
Yep same
I love that Toby grew up to continue on with puppeteering with the Jim Henson company...Taron Egerton (Rian's voice actor in Age of Resistance) fanboyed when he met Toby~
One of David Bowie's best momemts.
Hands down my favourite song in the movie
This movie defined my childhood! I cant even say how many times i've watched this movie! David bowie will always be the goblin king to me.
Most favorite song with David Bowie❤
I hope they never remake this movie. It was perfection ❤
All the baby noises you hear are actually David Bowie
lol, imagining him doing that is killing me
I thought you were joking, and then I saw this ruclips.net/video/KgCpWZm1NSk/видео.html
most of david's baby sfx are on the ost of the album, toby is present in most of this cut
No, only in the music album.
3:28
I love how he just yeets the kid and walks away lol.
I'm a Mom (57 years old) who along with two exceptional friends my kids have always called their "Wicked Step-Aunts", that raised her daughter (40 years old) and son (37 years old) to love and appreciate this movie as much as we still do. My kids and I watched this movie for thie first time together with the "Wicked Step-Aunts" a very, very long time ago. ❤ My daughter has raised our soon to be 10 year old granddaughter to love this movie as well.
It's our Family Tradition. ❤

Dance Magic Dance & Within You were my favorite 2 songs from this movie.
