Profile of Labyrinth

The mood of Labyrinth is offbeat, stylized, and feel good. The plot centers around a wish come true, a child in danger, and an imaginary kingdom. It is an adventure, family, and fantasy movie. Stylistically, Labyrinth is fairytale-like and is gothic. In approach, it is fantastical. Visually, it involves puppetry. The musical score of Labyrinth is rock. The movie is known for being an award winner. It is especially suggested for kids and a family outing.

Summary of Labyrinth

Fifteen-year-old Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) is so resentful of her baby brother Toby that she hopes he will just disappear. Her dream becomes reality when goblins kidnap the boy--but Sarah unexpectedly finds herself horrified by the loss. So she sets forth to retrieve him, and finds herself on the adventure of a lifetime. To accomplish her task, she will somehow have to reach the center of the fantastical labyrinth where the wicked Goblin King (David Bowie, who performs two songs) has imprisoned the lad. But the task is easier said than done, for the maze is filled with strange creatures and mind-bending puzzles that confuse the girl. Directed by Jim Henson and penned by Monty Python's Terry Jones, Labyrinth is a distinctive, beautifully designed dark fantasy for all ages.

Didn't really get into it

I like a lot of things that others wouldn't, and a lot of my favourites are quite strange, but I didn't really like this one, I felt it was quite predictable most of the time, and the singing put me off, but to each their own I guess. Read and rate it

An Old Favorite

This was definitely an interesting mix of puppets and puzzles- one that I can better appreciate now that I'm older. But unlike some child movies of mine, it hasn't lost it's charm over time. David Bowie definitely added something special that would... Read and rate it
