Labyrinth

AdventureFamilyFantasy

Directed by Jim Henson

Frustrated with babysitting on yet another weekend night, Sarah, a teenager with an active imagination, summons the Goblins to take her baby stepbrother away. When little Toby actually disappears, Sarah must follow him into a fantastical world to rescue him from the Goblin King. Guarding his castle is the labyrinth itself, a twisted maze of deception, populated with outrageous characters and unknown dangers. From TMDB

    After the baby who was supposed to play Toby in Labyrinth kept crying at the puppets, he was replaced with the infant son of the conceptual and costume designer for the film. The baby, Toby Froud, later ended up being a puppeteer who worked on Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.

    My man looks like Temu Mel Gibson. Like they microwaved a Stretch Armstrong doll. Like Peter Parker was bit by a radioactive hobo. Like a 7/11 hot dog got its wish to become a real boy. Like a Pixar film about a catcher's mitt. Like Hoggle from Labyrinth had a court date.

    Fight Club is a movie about secretly being gay and The Matrix is a movie about secretly being trans. Labyrinth is a movie about menstruation.

    Sarah's bedroom in the movie Labyrinth is one of the best examples of set design as environmental storytelling and foreshadowing/backstory in the history of cinema. Everyone knows it is filled with things that you see later in the film, but there's even more that you don't notice at a glance.

    I try not to make big declarations about things when I’m full of recency bias, but I genuinely think Wildwood is the best thing Laika’s ever made. It solidly exists in that space between Labyrinth, Narnia, Over the Garden Wall, and Willow, and it’s been a hot minute since we’ve had a movie like that

    Labyrinth is great because the whole movie is about solving problems with creativity and trickery, and at the 3/4 mark, the goblins go "wait, we have guns!"

    It was a honour to help Brian & Wendy Froud (artists, folklorists, and the puppet film designers behind The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth) to turn their vision for this book into reality.

    Some thoughts on seeing Pan's Labyrinth for the first time in years, and how in a time of actual fascism, the film is so much more a story about death, and the radical idea that you can't sacrifice vulnerable people to make a better world. letterboxd.com/rubystevensj...

    I watched Labyrinth with some first-time viewers a while back and I could TELL they were enchanted by at least some of the stuff that always enchants me, but when asked what they thought of the movie they just said “it’s uh… very of its time!” I think some people are literally just afraid of movies
