Labyrinth (DVD) ... Jennifer Connelly) rehearses the role of a fairy-tale queen, performing for her stuffed animals. She is about to discover that the time has come to leave her childhood behind. In real life she has to baby-sit her brother and contend with parents who don't understand her at all. Her petulance leads her to call the goblins to take the baby away, but when they actually do, she realises her responsibility to rescue him. Sarah negotiates the Labyrinth to reach the City of the Goblins and the castle of their king. The king is the only other human in the film and is played by a glam-rocking David Bowie, who performs five of his songs. The rest of the cast are puppets, a wonderful array of Jim Henson's imaginative masterpieces. Henson gives credit to children's author and illustrator Maurice Sendak, and the creatures in the movie will remind Sendak fans of his drawings. The castle of the king is a living MC Escher set that adults will enjoy. The film combines the highest standards of art, costume, and set decoration. Like executive producer George Lucas's other fantasies, Labyrinth mixes adventure with lessons about growing up. --Lloyd Chesley

The plot ------------- Sarah Williams was a teenage girl with a large imagination and love for fantasy stories, so much so that she enacted her favourite storybook, the Labyrinth, whenever she could. She happened to have been pretending that she was the heroine in her story while wandering in the park near her house when the clock on the near by city hall building struck, informing her it was 7pm. She realized she was an hour late and needed to get home to watch her baby stepbrother, Toby after feeling ignored by her father, Sarah was left alone with her baby brother. Angered that her stepmother had given her brother one of her favourite teddy bears, ...

I only watched this film because I am one of the biggest David Bowie fans around. My mum bought me the VHS when I was younger and I loved it so much, I have the DVD now. It is exciting and fun from start to end. About the film Made in 1986, produced by George Lucas (Star Wars) and with an amazing collection of Jim Henson creatures.

One night, after her parents had gone out yet again, Sarah has enough of Toby's crying and asks the Goblin King (David Bowie) to come and take ...

This truly is one of the best films of the 1980's. Quick run down....Sarah's tired of babysitting her baby brother, has the Goblin King take him away, decides she should rescue him, then battles through the "Labyrinth" to the goblin city to save her brother. (This is the beginning of the update... a far cry from the original, but hopefully much much better) From the very start of the film you're taken into Sarah's fantasy world. Acting out a role from her favourite (and memorised) book called, oddly enough, Labyrinth, she's dressed in her 'fantasy' frock and quoting the lines at her old english sheepdog. Sounds ...
