What our customer's say!
"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.
"Excellent", I was so excited to find this DVD. I've looked everywhere for it. I got it in a few, short days in excellent condition!
"Loved it then, love it now", I loved this movie as a child and wondered if it would be as good as I remembered. I thought my 5 year old daughter would love it, so I bought it and was not disappointed. It's a classic hit for my house!

"All-Time Favorite", This movie has been and remains my favorite movie of all time. I was about Sarah's age when it came out and my quite young mom (34) had just passed away, so my ability to relate to the character was incredible - see Deborah MacGillivray's review, she really nails the emotion/feeling of the film (and YES I DID want that dress!! LOL). It's a really sweet, imaginative (how could anything Jim Henson did not be?), heartwarming story that shows us there is love, friendship and a reason to be no matter how much our 'world falls down'. Give it a look, you'll be glad you did :)
"Labyrinth", A really good children's tale all be it, as most of the best ones are,quite dark. But then, the original Grimm's fairy tales were very dark ( hence, the apellation of "grim" as used today). Recommended for kids and adults alike.
"The Magic of Jim Henson & the Music of David Bowie", Labyrinth was the second fantasy film directed by Muppet creator Jim Henson. Though the tone of this film is not as dark as its predecessor, The Dark Crystal, it has become a classic in its own right.
Jennifer Connelly (in an early role) stars as Sarah, an imaginative teenager who when left to baby-sit her infant brother, calls upon the goblins of her favorite story to take him away. But when the goblins do she is forced to defy the Goblin King, Jareth, who is superbly played by David Bowie. In order to retrieve her baby brother she must venture deep into a magical labyrinth. There she encounters Hoggle, a curmudgeonly dwarf who begrudgingly helps her on her quest. She also befriends host of other memorable characters including Ludo, a giant hairy behemoth and Sir Didymus, a valiant knight who happens to be a two-and-a-half foot tall and one-eyed dog. She also meets a talking worm that steals the picture for the few moments he's on screen.
The story deals with delicate subject matter, mainly what it means to grow from a girl into a woman, but it manages to do so in a sensitive, fun and entertaining way. And the music by David Bowie helps to keep things light. Monty Python's Terry Jones wrote the screenplay and this results in the film's comedic tone. But what really makes this cult classic so unique is the wizardry of Jim Henson's team of puppeteers and special effects designers. The production design is also inspired and even award worthy. The film is a must-have for fans of fantasy films or Jim Henson.
The Anniversary Edition of Labyrinth includes the following special features: a new high definition film transfer, a new audio commentary by conceptual designer Brian Froud, Inside the Labyrinth vintage documentary, the new Kingdom of Creatures & The Quest for Goblin City documentaries, photo and art galleries, and previews.

"A classic TO-GO!!", I love this movie and it brings fond childhood memories back to the fore... It has David Bowie - Jim Henson Muppets - fun songs! Hey, it puts a smile on my face when I watch it :D
"Goblin King! Goblin King! Wherever you may be take this child of mine far away from me! ", A Fantastical Quest Through the Labyrinth of Time. This Henson/Lucas production isn't quite what you'd expect from these legendary directors. Somehow, it's better.
The genius of Henson and Lucas shines brightly as Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie perpetuate this wonderful tale of fantasy written by Dennis Lee and Jim Henson. Henson's son, Brian (now the head of the Henson Empire), even gets in on the act as the voice of Hoggle.
The story opens in the present, this world, this plane. Sarah (Connelly) is a spoiled rotten little drama queen who thinks she is the center of the universe and the sun around which the world revolves.
In a brattish fit of colossal immaturity, she stumbles upon the correct words to summon Jareth the Goblin King (Bowie) to take her little brother to the Goblin Realm.
Once done; however, she realizes how angry her parents will be and decides that it's more prudent to go "rescue" Toby rather than allow his assimilation into the Goblin fold.
Jareth gives her 13 hours in which to find her way through an impossible labyrinth, fight her way through the Goblin City, and puzzle out the staircases of the Goblin Castle and save her half-brother.
She is punished for arrogance, beguiled in her naivety, confused in her indecision and imprisoned for her quick, thoughtless decisions. "That's not FAIR!" is one of her most used and best delivered lines; used again and again, until it FINALLY sinks in that life just isn't fair.
It is a warm, funny and enriching tale, once started. It's about growing up, accepting responsibility for your actions and choices and making them more wisely in the beginning, rather than cleaning up your messes as you go along.
In the end, Sarah realizes all the infantile tantrums and childish toys are nothing but detritial remains of her otherwise out-lived childhood. She begins to stumble upon the reality that the important things are family, friends, and the responsibility that comes with making mature decisions. She throws away her immaturity and child-like selfishness to save her brother and thereby sets her feet back on the right path to adulthood and maturity.
It's a wonderful "coming of age" movie, and perfect for its target audience: girls 9-13. But I must say that children and adults alike love this movie, worldwide. It's not ONLY for girls, but for anyone who loves fantasy. This movie is far superior to what most consider to be your standard "Muppet Movie." It's one of my favorites.
