LABYRINTH

Release Year: 1986

Starring: Jennifer Connelly, David Bowie, Frank Oz, Warwick Davis

15-year-old girl Sarah Williams is shocked to learn that her little brother, Toby, is missing after her anger makes her “wish the goblins would come and take you away. Right now."  Her shock only deepens when an owl flies through the open window and transforms into Jareth, King of Goblins. Jareth tells her that he taken Toby, as she requested, but if she can traverse successfully through his great maze, the Labyrinth, within thirteen hours, she can have Toby back. If not, Toby will be turned into a goblin and Jareth will keep him forever.

The audience is then treated to such Jim Henson/George Lucas inspired wonders as Hoggle, the grumpy dwarf guide, Sir Didymus, a chivalrous, fox-like knight, Ludo, the gentle beast, The Fire Gang, the Bog of Eternal Stench, and Jareth's killer multi-dimensional castle, which looks like something created by M.C. Escher or the production designer from Inception.

A fun, imaginative film with a great, atmospheric score by Trevor Jones and some excellent voice work by Bowie on the songs “Dance Magic” and “As the World Falls Down.”
