Labyrinth -1999-

The Dark Crystal Jim Henson's fantasy epic The Dark Crystal doesn't take place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, but like Star Wars it takes the audience to a place that exists only in the imagination and, for an hour and a half, on the screen. Recalling the worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien, Hen...

Love this movie
I loved this movie as a kid! David Bowie is awesome and the characters and music are spectacular. 5 stars!

Childhood Fav
This was one of my favorite movies as a child. In my experience, those who have not seen this movie as a child may not enjoy it. But for me, this movie never gets old!!!

Labyrinth- a grown up Fairy Tale
I purchased Labyrinth when it first came out, as a video tape. I have always been a David Bowie fan, and wanted to see him in this role. I still consider it to be a timeless classic. I already owned the music from the movie, which is wonderful, as well as the DVD. I wanted this anniversary edition because it contained more interviews about the movie. David Bowie shines as the not so evil Goblin King Jareth. He is an unhappy guy, who has fallen in love with a human teenager, Sarah, who is played by Jennifer Connelly. When his goblin co-horts steal Toby, Sarah's baby brother, Jareth is forced to confront Sarah, and offers to give her back her brother, if she completes his labyrinth within 13 hours. Sarah agrees to the challenge, and enters the world of the Labyrinth, an enchanted place where nothing is quite what it seems. There is adolescent/adult humor, but even children love the characters. Sarah meets Jareth at a time in her life when she is not yet a woman, but not a child. Her world stinks, and she is often left alone by her Father and Stepmother to baby-sit her baby brother. She is troubled, and Jareth senses that and uses it to try to coax Sarah to stay with him. He even offers to give her all of her dreams if only she will let him rule her. She is a good role model for teenage girls. My favorite scene in the movie is a dream segment, in which Sarah and Jareth attend a ball. It is beautifully done, and expresses what every young woman dreams about...a handsome King who sweeps you away to his castle, and falls in love with you. The film is filled with David Bowie's songs, which are great. My young grandson likes to dance along with the baby in the movie to the song "magic dance." This movie might be a little bit intense for some children under the age of 8. My daughters loved this movie from the time they were about 10 years old. I still watch this about once a week, and even have it loaded on my ipod! If you want a move to watch that you can share with your kids and still enjoy, this may be the one for you! Add the interviews and behind the scenes video, and it is well worth owning!

Brings back childhood memories
The DVD arrived promptly in very good condition. We enjoyed watching this movie very much and it made me feel like I was 5 years old again!

Somewhat dated
This is pure 1986, as both the dated David Bowie soundtrack and the primitive special effects will reveal. The story line is simple, and there are no scary parts. Good for kids, I guess. I never saw this when it came out. It seems to appeal mostly to people who were growing up in the 80s. If you didn't, you might skip this.
