Product Description

MODEL- 11907 VENDOR- UMD MOVIE

FEATURES- Labyrinth PSP Movie
A young girl, who enters a world of her own creation, experiences
her first awareness of love, responsibility and danger. George
Lucas produced and Jim Henson directed this gothic fantasy which
pits living and breathing actors Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie
(who, along with Trevor Jones, provides the film's music) against a
motley collection of Muppet monsters. The film centers upon teenage
Sarah (Connelly), who lives in a fantasy world of myth and magic,
evil spells, and wondrous enchantment. She is baby-sitting her
little brother when she cavalierly wishes that goblins would take
him away. She gets her wish, and a coterie of goblins abduct him.
She then encounters Jareth (David Bowie), the ruler of a mystical
world one step removed from reality. He tells Sarah that the only
way to get her brother back is to find her way through a M.C.
Escher-like labyrinth and find the castle at the center. As she
makes her way through the maze, she faces a number of horrific
challenges (like the Bog of Eternal Stench) before she finds her
way to the gravity-defying castle, where her brother is being held
by the evil goblins.

Reviewed on 2008-05-30 Henson's best, and Bowie, too! A must-see for kids 7 to 107. Henson and Bowie created something unique in their lifetimes here. Even if you are not a fan of Henson's Sesame Street/ Muppet work, you may be amazed by this movie, which is sublime beyond any comparison to the rest of his career. If your kids are bored, this will unbore them many times over and you'll love it too. Bowie's music is superlative and his supporting role as the bad guy is fantastic.

Reviewed on 2008-05-19 The Labrinth The DVD case came with a corner chiped out, and the CD had some crusty stuff on it that I had to clean off. There was a chip in the DVD and art was faded. None of these conditions were noted on the description of the product. It played well until 5 minutes to the end and it froze. I wouldn't of bought this had I of known of the condition of the case and DVD.

Reviewed on 2008-05-13 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 :)

Reviewed on 2008-05-12 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.

Reviewed on 2008-05-09 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. I also highly recommend the soundtrack (Labyrinth: From The Original Soundtrack Of The Jim Henson Film).
