Labyrinth

Fore those who haven't seen the movie Labyrinth  (1986) starring David Bowie (Jareth) and Jennifer Connelly (Sarah), I'd recommend you people to just go and watch it pronto. Eighties fantasy with puppets. Tjis is the perfect movie if you enjoy movies like Gremlings (1984) and/or Beetlejuice (which was produced in 1988, I would have never known)  and if this doesn't sound that intriguing then I guess you are a child of the 90's and then just move along.



The plot revolves around Sarah's quest to reach the center of an enormous otherworldly maze to rescue her infant brother Toby, who has been kidnapped by Jareth, the Goblin King. With the exception of Bowie and Connelly, most of the significant characters in the film are played by puppets produced by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. James Maury "Jim" Henson (1936 – 1990) was an American puppeteer, best known as the creator of The Muppets. Apart from the dramatic acting and Bowie's tight pants, we have the music and the singing. I had goose bumps throughout the whole movie since it sent me down memory lane.

Hasta luego,
Louise
