The baby was son of one of the character designers & puppeteers, Brian Froud-and he grew up to follow in his father’s footsteps & became a puppeteer himself.
And apparently loved being on set with the puppets as a baby. He was laughing at their antics and the only way the could get him crying so they could film was to wait for him to need feeding.

At 39 years old, i remember this movie from my childhood. I recently lost my son 4 months ago he was 10 years old. I have found myself going back into my childhood memories such as this movie and Land Before time. They bring so much more emotion to me now then they did when i was a kid, i feel like these movies also helped me deal with loss as i got older. The teachings and subject matter me may not have understood at such a young age but i know they still make an impact. I never got to share this stuff with my son, trust me i tried but he was nonverbal autistic. So im not sure how much he actually understood since he would never sit still for more than 5 minutes. The teaching of this movie to not let our childhood fantasies and obsessions define us when we are older but to allow them to be there for us in times of need and despair is a great teaching. I find myself emerging into my comics and fantasy worlds again as when i was a child.
There is a slightly altered ending where she says “you have no power of me” and instead of looking defeated Bowie say “no” and gives her a slight smile, kinda showing he was testing her to help her learn a lesson the whole time.
I love Labyrinth. I was cast in a stage production of Macbeth. During a warm up, I heard a fellow cast member say "You remind me of the babe". I couldn't let that pass so we alternated lines. Then she hugged me. I will remember that forever. Also, Sarah guessed the correct door, the reason she fell into the oubliette was because she said "It's a piece of cake". Every time she says that, something bad happens.
I've always assumed that the reason she "fails" is an inherent problem with the whole Knights & Knaves puzzle -- or, more pertinently, with the way it's presented here. Namely, that you need a third party to explain the rules rather than the guards. Because if you're getting the rules from the guards, then the rules are completely unreliable because one of the guards is a liar.
@@ScooterBond1970 You nailed it on the head. Both doors actually lead to an Oubliette. Because an Oubliette is both either a quick passage to the Castle (as a prisoner, if the Goblin King feels like retrieving you) or (ba-ba-ba-BUM) Certain Death (If the Goblin King DOESN'T feel like retrieving you) so no matter who says which door leads to which it is simultaneously a true statement AND a lie and thus can be said by either guard What happened was Sarah _took it for granted_ that solving the riddle correctly was the way forwards and that the contest was fair and not rigged. Sarah taking too many things for granted is am overarching THEME of the movie. Every time she does it sets her back (From the Worm to assuming she can beat the Labyrinth easily) . It's only when she STOPS DOING THAT with Sir Didymus (not taking it for granted that his permission to cross was by default denied and just asking to cross) that she starts actually progressing
Year's ago I worked with someone who apprenticed with Jim Henson. He opened his own shop in Nashville, Tennessee, where I worked on over 50 projects as art assistant, prop builder, prop master and art director. I got to work with several of the puppeteers over about a year.
There's so many great scenes and especially the musical numbers and watching the Mrs act like it's getting on her nervous. Is she not able to enjoy many entertaining movies?
Sometimes movie tie in novels usually tells the story of the film from a different script that it deviates from the actual final shooting script that made it into the movie.

It's not the first time. They're always building towers. This is maybe the 3rd I've seen and I don't watch all the movie reactions. I think they're a couple of future engineers lol
Well, with his parents being Brian and Wendy Froud, goblin puppets were part of his daily life. I think the only thing he regrets is that his sole interaction with David Bowie was peeing on his arm...
One of my favorite movies. Said "how dare you" seconds before Mr. Movies did when Mrs. said it looked dumb. Tiny fives to the little ones on that super big tower. Quite a feat to build that.
when my brother was a kid he told our dad he wished the goblin king would take him away my dad hid from him for the whole day and our mom told him the goblins took him lmao he was so upset
For Mrs. Movies, my wife was born in 1978 and was basically in Sarah's situation: was a only child teenager and then had a new half brother. She wanted me to tell you that Sarah is pissed cause "it spoiled the free ride and stuff for me, and now I'm basically going to be designated babysitter while parents go out all the time" 😂

The companions are like some opposites to Dorothy's friends. Hoggle is a know-it-all, Ludo is all heart and the tiny furball is too brave for his own good. And it has some Alice in wonderland elements mixed in with the Oz references.
I believe most people miss her choreography work, because she usually uses her first name "Cheryl" for choreographer jobs, and acts under her middle name.
@@MedionSinger I met Danny at a convention once and he was with Robert Llewelyn both are great to meet years later I seen Chris Barry at another convention .
The moment after watching many times that characters encountered are decorations in her room. P.S. That owl was indeed CGI and the first CGI animal in a movie.
@DIDCOTTWIST So she crosses the pond [The Atlantic Ocean] in a few simple strides what talent 😆 This movie was mostly filmed in England and the Muppet show was all filmed in England as well Jim Henson always spoke well of the talent there .
Jennifer Connely was and still is stunning :). You should also watch Wilow and Lady Hawk for more great Jim Hanson puppet I recommend the StoryTeller 1987 great tv series.
I am Jennifer Connelly's age. 15 year old Jennifer Connelly did it back then for me as a 15 year old kid and 52 year old Jennifer Connelly does the same for me as a 52 year-old man
Jim Hensen’s son, Brian, was pulling double duty as a puppeteer on this movie and Little Shop of Horrors, which was being filmed at the same time. If you haven’t seen it, you should check out Little Shop of Horrors. And I’m glad to see that Mr. Movies and I, laugh at a lot of the same things in this movie.
Apparently during filming the baby actually was NOT crying at all during the scene with all the goblin muppets and they had to wait forever for him to actually start crying to get footage. I think it wasn’t until he was hungry or needed his nappy changed that they finally were able to get the shot they used at 13:45. If I remember correctly, this was discussed in the making of documentary.
This movie hit so hard after I watched it with my young children, I'm 40 and grew up with this movie and never realized it was about growing up and leaving childish things and attitudes behind. Cried manly tears after that realization

She solved the riddle. That is the right answer, IF the one giving the rules is speaking true. She fell into the oubliette because she said it was a piece of cake, and jinxed herself.
She fell into an oubliette because she *_took it for granted_* the riddle wasn't RIGGED and that answering the riddle correctly would actually matter at all. It was, and it didn't. She was told one door leads to the Castle and the other to (babababuuum) CERTAIN DETH. An Oubliette is BOTH of those things: A quick way to the Castle, as a prisoner, if the Goblin King feels like retrieving you, and (babababum) CERTAIN DETH if he doesn't and leaves you in it to starve. Both doors led to an Oubliette, the entire time. No matter which door she picked, she was gonna end up in an Oubliette. And both guards were niether lying nor telling the truth about where the doors led because both statements were true and a lie at the same time: Both factually true and a lie of omission.
@@GuukanKitsune You're entitled to your interpretation, but I think you're over complicating it. This is a classic logic puzzle you find in fiction from time to time, my first time seeing a variation of it was on an episode of Dr. Who in the Tom Baker era, Pyramids of Mars. I think the point is she took for granted that she was right, but it didn't mean she was automatically safe. Rigging the test seems a step too far to me, and makes it pointless. If she watched her step she could have easily leapt over the hole. If she could have easily avoided it, it's not certain death, nothing about the oubliette is certain death. If you take that logic a step further, both doors lead to certain death, because we are all destined for eventual certain death.
@@Wungolioth Basically EXACTLY the point I was making! She took it for granted she would progress if she solved the puzzle. But the puzzle was actually a red herring meant to fool her into dropping her guard with that very assumption... THAT was the point of the puzzle! Which is WHY she wasn't watching her step, and fell RIGHT into the Oubliette that was behind both doors!
@@GuukanKitsune OK, I get what you're saying, and I see how "certain death" implies, but doesn't necessarily mean, instant death. However, I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on the legitimacy of the test, because the test does not depend on all parts understanding the outcome, just that they understand their roles. The question Sarah asks is legitimately the correct question to ask, and I took it to mean she would die instantly if she chose badly, not eventually. I just feel your interpretation does too much, where there's a simpler answer.
Labyrinth is one of those films you have to grow up with to really appreciate. I was only two when it came out but by 1988 I was enjoying the songs on my parent's recorded vhs and starting to understand the plot at the most basic level. By third grade I was understanding 99% of everything, and became a fan for life after dozens of viewings over the years.
@@dirtsa2828 One of the Hoggles is at that airport. There were a few made. There's a judge in England who has the early Muppet Show season 1/2 Fozzie puppet. Looks unrecognizable because he tried to "restore it".
Yes, CGI was BIRTHED in the 80s, it just wasn't as DEVELOPED yet (of course). OTHER examples of 80s CGI are Tron, Max Headroom, Last Star Fighter, and Dire Straits Money For Nothing music video.
Does anyone else remember when Mrs Movies didn’t recognize Mr. Movies David Bowie reference as the Goblin King in their 𝘛𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘭 2 Reaction? So yeah this reaction is long overdue lol 😅
Thats how it is the smaller the dog the bigger they think they are, like the one I had she was a min pin maybe 15 pounds and tried to fight a neighbor's Great Dane yet her " brother " was a 111 pound German Shepard who was scared of his own shadow and got bullied by a one pound ferret named Pancakes.
I got a three-pack of DVDs and digital copies of this, The Dark Crystal, and MirrorMask at the Dollar General Store. I had never seen MirrorMask, and I like it. But, Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal are favorites!
It was actually a mime behind Bowie doing the crystal juggling. The baby was the son of the artist who designed the look of the goblins (he specialised in that sort of thing)
Jennifer Connelly's first role. The contact juggler had to reach through David Bowie's armpits. The baby's mother was one of the puppet makers. He got the job because he wasn't freaked out by the puppets. Ludo was always my favorite too.
Her fourth movie role. I would love to recommend to the Mr. & Mrs. the horror film she did the year prior called PHENOMENA directed by Dario Argento. She telepathically communicates with insects to help solve murders at a girl school in Switzerland she is attending.
No...that owl was indeed CG and was a first...the first fully CG animal in a movie. The first fully CG character in a movie went to Young Sherlock Holmes the year before

The thing about that riddle is that the one laying out the riddle can be lying. Also, the "remind me of the babe" exchange was lifted almost verbatim from a 1947 Cary Grant film, "The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer".
She smiles just a little when she reads that line at the beginning. It’s an idea that makes her happy and feel empowered, but so easy for her to forget.
The bit in the park at the beginning was filmed at West Wycombe Park in southern England, then it cuts to her running through town in (I think) upstate New York!
When one person is a liar and the other person tells the truth you ask one of them what the other one would say... The answer you get will always be a lie because either the truth teller will tell you what the liar would say... or the liar would lie about what the truth teller would say!
Unless the one who told you that one of them always lies and the other always tells you the truth was lying. If you pay attention all the information about the challenge is relayed by the same guard (the honest one) so she could have simply assumed he was telling the truth already.
The scene with the "Fieries" and their song is one of the few times I would advocate for changing/updating a movie digitally. Just do a little something to clean up the green screen effects around the edges of the characters. (Every other effect in the movie holds up shockingly well - probably because we rarely get real sets and animatronics and puppetry in movies these days.)
Although it's totally OK that Mrs. doesn't enjoy fantasy (we all have things we like and dislike - I don't like most modern comedy movies, for instance), she also really has no patience for a story's pacing, seems to lack an active imagination, and doesn't take joy in whimsy - none of which are limited to the fantasy genre and all of which mean she misses out on enjoying some terrific non-fantasy storytelling.
It's amazing how many of the same childhood favorites me and Mr. Movies have. Pretty much all of his favorite 80's movies were mine as well including more obscure titles like Beastmaster. And we both were Sega kids. Yes, some of these things were common in the 80's but I never would've thought as a Cali kid of color that I would have so much in common with a Caucasian kid from the South.
Hey guys! I went to see LABYRINTH in the theater when it was released. I had my parents take me to see it as an early birthday present. I was 2 months shy of my 14th birthday. I already loved Jim Henson's. THE DARK CRYSTAL (1982). Ludo was my favorite character in this movie. He was a big sweet cuddly monster that had a power. My little brother's favorite were those fire creatures that tossed around their heads.😄 - Mr. Movies, it's the other way around, TOTAL RECALL (1990) took that tunnel cleaner/drill from LABYRINTH.😄 Jennifer Connelly was around 14 1/2yrs old when they began shooting LABYRINTH from April to September of 1985, & 15 1/2yrs old when it was released June of 1986. Her birthday is in December. I had & still have a huge crush on her. -Mrs.Movies, Toby's crying scenes were filmed when he was tired, fussy & in need of a nap, otherwise he loved the puppets, & was said to be happy & laughing around them. I used to entertain my nieces & nephews w/a large furry blue monster hand-puppet. I would get them laughing like crazy. - Anyway, great reaction guys.😊
I tend to get the title confused with "Legend" which has Tom Cruise, Mia Sara (from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off") and Tim Curry, directed by Ridley Scott.
Fav Character: Didimus Random Facts - George Lucas finished off the filming as a favour to his friend. - A French artist did the crystals - Toby was the Son of Brian Froud of Dark Crystal fame, and went on to create the Netflix Dark Crystal series - A lot of the pupeteers would go on to work on the Star Wars franchise - Actress who played Beverley Crusher in Star Trek: Next Generation was the Dance Coordinator for the ballroom scene
I crushed SOOOO hard on Jennifer Connelly as a kid cos of this movie. Then, 30-ish years later, I watched the Snow Piercer series and crushed on her as an adult! lol
I have no idea ( none at all) why I know this but her assets are on display for the hotspot. Map of tassie on show in requiem for a dream( but the shear mental torture of that filmmakers it irrelevant.
Fun fact: The women that did the dance choreography for the ballroom scene is Gates McFadden, aka Dr Crusher in Star Trek. I've got a photo with Gates dancing with her because of this fact.

I was 9 years old when this movie was released. It's still one of my favorite 80's flicks. BTW it's not a proper reaction unless the kiddos show up haha That's an impressive tower they built👏👏👏
I'm convinced the kids interrupting is scripted. They have a countdown clock in the room the kids are in. Now kids when the clock shows 00:00 come talk to us about whatever you're doing
I love that the first words out of your mouth was this is a childhood favorite along with Return to Oz. I wasn't even an 80s baby, I was a late 90s baby but those two movies have been some of my favorites for longer than I can remember.
David Bowie did NOT learn how the manipulate the orb. They had an expert behind him doing the old theater arts bit of "my arms are your arms". So he was doing all of that BLIND!
There's a little behind-the-scenes footage of the master-juggler working with (well...behind) Bowie.
Easy to find on RUclips.
Not just an expert, but the guy who invented contact juggling.

I love Labyrinth. I was cast in a stage production of Macbeth. During a warm up, I heard a fellow cast member say "You remind me of the babe". I couldn't let that pass so we alternated lines. Then she hugged me. I will remember that forever. Also, Sarah guessed the correct door, the reason she fell into the oubliette was because she said "It's a piece of cake". Every time she says that, something bad happens.
I thought the reason she fell is because neither of the creatures was telling the truth-something she didn’t consider.
I've always assumed that the reason she "fails" is an inherent problem with the whole Knights & Knaves puzzle -- or, more pertinently, with the way it's presented here. Namely, that you need a third party to explain the rules rather than the guards. Because if you're getting the rules from the guards, then the rules are completely unreliable because one of the guards is a liar.
@@ScooterBond1970 You nailed it on the head. Both doors actually lead to an Oubliette. Because an Oubliette is both either a quick passage to the Castle (as a prisoner, if the Goblin King feels like retrieving you) or (ba-ba-ba-BUM) Certain Death (If the Goblin King DOESN'T feel like retrieving you) so no matter who says which door leads to which it is simultaneously a true statement AND a lie and thus can be said by either guard
What happened was Sarah _took it for granted_ that solving the riddle correctly was the way forwards and that the contest was fair and not rigged.
Sarah taking too many things for granted is am overarching THEME of the movie. Every time she does it sets her back (From the Worm to assuming she can beat the Labyrinth easily) . It's only when she STOPS DOING THAT with Sir Didymus (not taking it for granted that his permission to cross was by default denied and just asking to cross) that she starts actually progressing
Year's ago I worked with someone who apprenticed with Jim Henson. He opened his own shop in Nashville, Tennessee, where I worked on over 50 projects as art assistant, prop builder, prop master and art director. I got to work with several of the puppeteers over about a year.
I love how much joy Mr gets from watching this movie.
It's so entertaining watching Mrs watching the movie. Kind of takes my joy away from watching it.
There's so many great scenes and especially the musical numbers and watching the Mrs act like it's getting on her nervous. Is she not able to enjoy many entertaining movies?
Sarah's mum isn't dead she ran off with another actor who also looks like david Bowie if you look closely at the pics
It’s explained in the book :)
Sometimes movie tie in novels usually tells the story of the film from a different script that it deviates from the actual final shooting script that made it into the movie.

Quite the majestic structure, indeed! I can see why they wanted to show it off.
It's not the first time. They're always building towers. This is maybe the 3rd I've seen and I don't watch all the movie reactions. I think they're a couple of future engineers lol
their loungeroom looks an office with those venetian blinds tho
@@ImBigDave79 Awww. That's adorable.
Another Jennifer Connelly flick to watch is "The Rocketeer" fantastic pulp hero
The Rocke-who?
And, if your in a HORROR kind of mood then there's Phenomenon (aka Creepers).
The baby actually loved it and is still in the industry today
Well, with his parents being Brian and Wendy Froud, goblin puppets were part of his daily life.
I think the only thing he regrets is that his sole interaction with David Bowie was peeing on his arm...
the tower was totally worth the pause, SO COOL !
I plan to show it to my children.
I’ve been watching this channel from the beginning and I can’t believe how fast those kids are growing!
One of my favorite movies. Said "how dare you" seconds before Mr. Movies did when Mrs. said it looked dumb.
Tiny fives to the little ones on that super big tower. Quite a feat to build that.
when my brother was a kid he told our dad he wished the goblin king would take him away
my dad hid from him for the whole day and our mom told him the goblins took him
lmao he was so upset
What an awesome dad! I bet he has some good jokes!😂
That baby later went into puppeteering (as adult), so it seems to have had some strong impact.
Since he’s the son of Brian and Wendy Froud, it might just be in his blood.
The dance magic scene was a record at the time, there were more puppets on set than actual humans.
It also holds a record for largest puppet ever constructed the gate guardian at the end of the film I believe it still stands
For Mrs. Movies, my wife was born in 1978 and was basically in Sarah's situation: was a only child teenager and then had a new half brother.
She wanted me to tell you that Sarah is pissed cause "it spoiled the free ride and stuff for me, and now I'm basically going to be designated babysitter while parents go out all the time" 😂
My wife had the same situation where she had a brother who was nine years younger. She always empathized with Sarah.
I’m obsessed with this film, saw it in the cinema when I was 12 in 1986

I was six. It was amazing, and still one of my favorite movies.
The companions are like some opposites to Dorothy's friends. Hoggle is a know-it-all, Ludo is all heart and the tiny furball is too brave for his own good. And it has some Alice in wonderland elements mixed in with the Oz references.
The Man Who Fell To Earth is another flick staring Bowie, in which he also does not sing by the way.
Bowie also never sang in The Hunger (1983), The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), or The Prestige(2006),

One of the choreographers is Gates McFadden, she played Beverly Crusher in Star Trek The Next Generation.
As a side note the voice of some of the Firey's and sings the song Chilly Down is Danny John-Jules who is best know as Cat from Red Dwarf.
I believe most people miss her choreography work, because she usually uses her first name "Cheryl" for choreographer jobs, and acts under her middle name.
Yes she was credited as Cheryl and only used gates for acting equity.

I met Danny at a convention once and he was with Robert Llewelyn both are great to meet years later I seen Chris Barry at another convention .
@@centrevezgaming4862 I got to meet him at a local shopping centre where he stopped by for a brief visit during some tour. Very nice and soft spoken.
My favorite puppet is ... the caterpillar!
I loved that lil punk as a kid.
Bowie's package was nominated for an oscar
Give it the Oscar, give it all the awards ever.
The moment after watching many times that characters encountered are decorations in her room.
P.S. That owl was indeed CGI and the first CGI animal in a movie.
The bit with the lake was filmed in England then she runs home to America 😂
@DIDCOTTWIST So she crosses the pond [The Atlantic Ocean] in a few simple strides what talent 😆
This movie was mostly filmed in England and the Muppet show was all filmed in England as well
Jim Henson always spoke well of the talent there .
47:08 The knockers are even on shirts at chest level with the text “It’s very rude to stare”
Jennifer Connely was and still is stunning :). You should also watch Wilow and Lady Hawk for more great Jim Hanson puppet I recommend the StoryTeller 1987 great tv series.
And DragonSlayer!
If they havent watched willow that is a major major watch…i love that movie
I am Jennifer Connelly's age.
15 year old Jennifer Connelly did it back then for me as a 15 year old kid and 52 year old Jennifer Connelly does the same for me as a 52 year-old man
She was underage 🔞
I'd add Legend to that list. A good tribute to Tim Curry movie watch.
Jim Hensen’s son, Brian, was pulling double duty as a puppeteer on this movie and Little Shop of Horrors, which was being filmed at the same time. If you haven’t seen it, you should check out Little Shop of Horrors.
And I’m glad to see that Mr. Movies and I, laugh at a lot of the same things in this movie.
Apparently during filming the baby actually was NOT crying at all during the scene with all the goblin muppets and they had to wait forever for him to actually start crying to get footage. I think it wasn’t until he was hungry or needed his nappy changed that they finally were able to get the shot they used at 13:45. If I remember correctly, this was discussed in the making of documentary.
20:05 - the voice of the late, great Sir Michael Hordern. A British acting treasure.
19:10 They hardly borrowed it from the movie "Total Recall" (1990), when this movie is older (1986), so it's the other way around.
Contact juggling fascinates me more than the other kind.
It's almost hypnotic.
Now miss movies needs to see Legend and never ending story just to be safe and ladyhawke
This movie hit so hard after I watched it with my young children, I'm 40 and grew up with this movie and never realized it was about growing up and leaving childish things and attitudes behind. Cried manly tears after that realization

Not quite leaving them behind, but not clinging to them and not growing up. After all, sometimes you still need them.
@Deathbird_Mitch my daughter goes to college next year and I got her a cool labyrinth picture from Etsy that lights up and the inscription reads "should you need us" I'm just a bug sucker for this movie it touches so many heartstrings past and present
@@angelemeana2754 Do you find that ANNOYING people with your faith ever ever EVER works out?
Because you are in fact being intrusive and obnoxious with this shit. And I'm telling you this as a Christian.
This is the COMMENT SECTION ON RUclips -- stop being annoying.
She solved the riddle. That is the right answer, IF the one giving the rules is speaking true.
She fell into the oubliette because she said it was a piece of cake, and jinxed herself.
Sarah took it for granted that just because she was right, she was safe. She avoided certain death, but she still needed to watch her step.
She fell into an oubliette because she *_took it for granted_* the riddle wasn't RIGGED and that answering the riddle correctly would actually matter at all. It was, and it didn't. She was told one door leads to the Castle and the other to (babababuuum) CERTAIN DETH. An Oubliette is BOTH of those things: A quick way to the Castle, as a prisoner, if the Goblin King feels like retrieving you, and (babababum) CERTAIN DETH if he doesn't and leaves you in it to starve.
Both doors led to an Oubliette, the entire time. No matter which door she picked, she was gonna end up in an Oubliette. And both guards were niether lying nor telling the truth about where the doors led because both statements were true and a lie at the same time: Both factually true and a lie of omission.
@@GuukanKitsune You're entitled to your interpretation, but I think you're over complicating it. This is a classic logic puzzle you find in fiction from time to time, my first time seeing a variation of it was on an episode of Dr. Who in the Tom Baker era, Pyramids of Mars. I think the point is she took for granted that she was right, but it didn't mean she was automatically safe. Rigging the test seems a step too far to me, and makes it pointless. If she watched her step she could have easily leapt over the hole. If she could have easily avoided it, it's not certain death, nothing about the oubliette is certain death. If you take that logic a step further, both doors lead to certain death, because we are all destined for eventual certain death.
@@Wungolioth Basically EXACTLY the point I was making! She took it for granted she would progress if she solved the puzzle. But the puzzle was actually a red herring meant to fool her into dropping her guard with that very assumption... THAT was the point of the puzzle!
Which is WHY she wasn't watching her step, and fell RIGHT into the Oubliette that was behind both doors!
@@GuukanKitsune OK, I get what you're saying, and I see how "certain death" implies, but doesn't necessarily mean, instant death. However, I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on the legitimacy of the test, because the test does not depend on all parts understanding the outcome, just that they understand their roles. The question Sarah asks is legitimately the correct question to ask, and I took it to mean she would die instantly if she chose badly, not eventually. I just feel your interpretation does too much, where there's a simpler answer.
Labyrinth is one of those films you have to grow up with to really appreciate. I was only two when it came out but by 1988 I was enjoying the songs on my parent's recorded vhs and starting to understand the plot at the most basic level. By third grade I was understanding 99% of everything, and became a fan for life after dozens of viewings over the years.
Many of the puppets from Labyrinth and other Henson worlds have ended up at the Center For Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, Georgia.
Hoggel is at the Alabama airport where he got forgotten... 🙁
@@dirtsa2828 One of the Hoggles is at that airport. There were a few made. There's a judge in England who has the early Muppet Show season 1/2 Fozzie puppet. Looks unrecognizable because he tried to "restore it".
@@dirtsa2828 He's at Unclaimed Baggage in Scottsboro, Alabama; it is a store, not an airport. Guess the name could be misleading...
Other actors considered for Jareth was Sting, Michael Jackson and Prince… although David Bowie is perfect in the role
It’s that sense of “regal, but not _too_ regal” that seemed to come so naturally to Bowie.
My wife's most favorite movie ever, for all time. How could it not be for someone so into Bowie?
Yes, CGI was BIRTHED in the 80s, it just wasn't as DEVELOPED yet (of course). OTHER examples of 80s CGI are Tron, Max Headroom, Last Star Fighter, and Dire Straits Money For Nothing music video.
I would recommend The Dark Crystal and maybe Legend if you like dark fantasy films
I like the worm character in the beginning when Sarah 1st entered the Labyrinth
Ello!
@@ToThePointCTdid you say hello?
Does anyone else remember when Mrs Movies didn’t recognize Mr. Movies David Bowie reference as the Goblin King in their 𝘛𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘭 2 Reaction?
So yeah this reaction is long overdue lol 😅
Great pick for a movie reaction. By the way, that tower your daughters built was definitely worth seeing.
This movie was my childhood. I've actually used it for teaching english in school a couple of times. A brilliant classic.
Thats how it is the smaller the dog the bigger they think they are, like the one I had she was a min pin maybe 15 pounds and tried to fight a neighbor's Great Dane yet her " brother " was a 111 pound German Shepard who was scared of his own shadow and got bullied by a one pound ferret named Pancakes.
this was my favorite movie as a kid I've lost count of how many times I watched it
I got a three-pack of DVDs and digital copies of this, The Dark Crystal, and MirrorMask at the Dollar General Store.
I had never seen MirrorMask, and I like it.
But, Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal are favorites!
It was actually a mime behind Bowie doing the crystal juggling.
The baby was the son of the artist who designed the look of the goblins (he specialised in that sort of thing)
Michael Moschen was not a mime but he did basically invent modern contact juggling.
Jennifer Connelly's first role.
The contact juggler had to reach through David Bowie's armpits.
The baby's mother was one of the puppet makers. He got the job because he wasn't freaked out by the puppets.
Ludo was always my favorite too.
I believe her first role(that I've seen,)was in Once Upon A Time In America.She was 12.Could be wrong.
She was in a few movies as a teen before this.
Her fourth movie role. I would love to recommend to the Mr. & Mrs. the horror film she did the year prior called PHENOMENA directed by Dario Argento. She telepathically communicates with insects to help solve murders at a girl school in Switzerland she is attending.
@@VanessaHexe I remember that movie...she played the daughter of a movie star,and
Oops..and I believe Donald Pleasance was a co-star.
No...that owl was indeed CG and was a first...the first fully CG animal in a movie. The first fully CG character in a movie went to Young Sherlock Holmes the year before
The Stained Glass Knight.

All time favourite movie since I was a child. Huge David bowie fan, first childhood crush. Love it!...you have no power over me 🦉
so should do LEGEND starring tom cruise and Tim curry
"Looks dumb" Nice, right out of the gate from the missus.
The thing about that riddle is that the one laying out the riddle can be lying.
Also, the "remind me of the babe" exchange was lifted almost verbatim from a 1947 Cary Grant film, "The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer".
I remember that one... Cary Grant... was it Shirley Temple? and Myrna Loy.
"You have no power over me "
She smiles just a little when she reads that line at the beginning. It’s an idea that makes her happy and feel empowered, but so easy for her to forget.
I wouldn't call this "horror"
He mentions it being a kids horror which I can see it. I always saw it as a fantasy film with a touch of scary for the kiddos.
The bit in the park at the beginning was filmed at West Wycombe Park in southern England, then it cuts to her running through town in (I think) upstate New York!
When one person is a liar and the other person tells the truth you ask one of them what the other one would say...
The answer you get will always be a lie because either the truth teller will tell you what the liar would say... or the liar would lie about what the truth teller would say!
Unless the one who told you that one of them always lies and the other always tells you the truth was lying. If you pay attention all the information about the challenge is relayed by the same guard (the honest one) so she could have simply assumed he was telling the truth already.
This movie furthered my love of David Bowie and was one of my favorite movies as a kid.
45:19 was wondering why there was no mention of his moose knuckle!
That was in fact an amazing tower.
The scene with the "Fieries" and their song is one of the few times I would advocate for changing/updating a movie digitally. Just do a little something to clean up the green screen effects around the edges of the characters. (Every other effect in the movie holds up shockingly well - probably because we rarely get real sets and animatronics and puppetry in movies these days.)
I think your wee ones will like this. When you feel they are old enough, of course.
Holy quadrology for me in ´80's dark fantasy were: Legend, The Dark Crystal, Krull and this, Labyrinth
I always loved this movie. I wish they still made movies like this.
Omg mr movies my favorite childhood movie and this and the last dragon made me love the tristar intro so much
Former preschool teacher here. That is actually quite a feat of magnatile engineering!
Impressive!
3:15 Tron (1982) was the first film to incorporate CGI into it for for nearly the entire movie's duration.
Your tech difficulties experienced no technical difficulties while building that impressive tower! Good job, guys
I was 9 when this came out but for some reason I never saw it until someone showed me about 7 years later.
We’re the same age. I saw it in the theater when it came out.
Her mother didn't pass away, she left her dad for someone else.
You guys need to see The Witches (1990)!!! This film illustrates some of Jim Hensons' best work!
Was hoping she did not talk too much shit about the movie or the Labyrinth fans would come in here in force. :P
I guessed she would. Took her 54 seconds 🙄
Although it's totally OK that Mrs. doesn't enjoy fantasy (we all have things we like and dislike - I don't like most modern comedy movies, for instance), she also really has no patience for a story's pacing, seems to lack an active imagination, and doesn't take joy in whimsy - none of which are limited to the fantasy genre and all of which mean she misses out on enjoying some terrific non-fantasy storytelling.
So great that you paused the movie to see your kids' tower. In a movie about the importance of family, you literally lived out that theme.
I don't think David Bowie sings in ANY of the other movies he's in.
Absolute Beginners.
Love David Bowie❤🎉so glad you're watching
It's amazing how many of the same childhood favorites me and Mr. Movies have. Pretty much all of his favorite 80's movies were mine as well including more obscure titles like Beastmaster. And we both were Sega kids. Yes, some of these things were common in the 80's but I never would've thought as a Cali kid of color that I would have so much in common with a Caucasian kid from the South.
I hope y'all know that we love the guest appearances of your children. Always nice to see the family, may God bless and take care of all of you.
Hey guys! I went to see LABYRINTH in the theater when it was released. I had my parents take me to see it as an early birthday present. I was 2 months shy of my 14th birthday. I already loved Jim Henson's. THE DARK CRYSTAL (1982). Ludo was my favorite character in this movie. He was a big sweet cuddly monster that had a power. My little brother's favorite were those fire creatures that tossed around their heads.😄
- Mr. Movies, it's the other way around, TOTAL RECALL (1990) took that tunnel cleaner/drill from LABYRINTH.😄 Jennifer Connelly was around 14 1/2yrs old when they began shooting LABYRINTH from April to September of 1985, & 15 1/2yrs old when it was released June of 1986. Her birthday is in December. I had & still have a huge crush on her.
-Mrs.Movies, Toby's crying scenes were filmed when he was tired, fussy & in need of a nap, otherwise he loved the puppets, & was said to be happy & laughing around them. I used to entertain my nieces & nephews w/a large furry blue monster hand-puppet. I would get them laughing like crazy.
- Anyway, great reaction guys.😊
I saw this when it came out in the movie theater. One of the best childhood movies I've ever seen.
I tend to get the title confused with "Legend" which has Tom Cruise, Mia Sara (from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off") and Tim Curry, directed by Ridley Scott.
That’s one of the few 80s fantasies I still haven’t seen.
Fav Character: Didimus
Random Facts
- George Lucas finished off the filming as a favour to his friend.
- A French artist did the crystals
- Toby was the Son of Brian Froud of Dark Crystal fame, and went on to create the Netflix Dark Crystal series
- A lot of the pupeteers would go on to work on the Star Wars franchise
- Actress who played Beverley Crusher in Star Trek: Next Generation was the Dance Coordinator for the ballroom scene
Should do The Dark Crystal
I crushed SOOOO hard on Jennifer Connelly as a kid cos of this movie. Then, 30-ish years later, I watched the Snow Piercer series and crushed on her as an adult! lol
Yup. She’s still a smoke show today..
I have no idea ( none at all) why I know this but her assets are on display for the hotspot.
Map of tassie on show in requiem for a dream( but the shear mental torture of that filmmakers it irrelevant.
Fun fact: The women that did the dance choreography for the ballroom scene is Gates McFadden, aka Dr Crusher in Star Trek. I've got a photo with Gates dancing with her because of this fact.

I was 9 years old when this movie was released. It's still one of my favorite 80's flicks. BTW it's not a proper reaction unless the kiddos show up haha That's an impressive tower they built👏👏👏
The look he gives her when she says it looks dumb. He is like.. dude! I’m divorcing you! 😂
I'm convinced the kids interrupting is scripted.
They have a countdown clock in the room the kids are in.
Now kids when the clock shows 00:00 come talk to us about whatever you're doing
That tower was definitely worth pausing the movie for! The epic music really sold it!
I love that the first words out of your mouth was this is a childhood favorite along with Return to Oz. I wasn't even an 80s baby, I was a late 90s baby but those two movies have been some of my favorites for longer than I can remember.
People need to try to watch this through a child's perceptive. Not analyzing and taking everything literal. Keep an open mind .
