Customer Reviews

Light fun musical fantasy about the coming-of-age teenage girl.

"You have no power over me" Teenage Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) lives in her fantasy world and resents having to take care of her younger brother Toby (Toby Froud son of Conceptual Designer Brian Froud.) She wishes that the Goblin King (David Bowie) who is enamored with her would take Toby away now. Be careful of what you wish for. Toby is whisked off to the Goblin King's castle beyond the goblin city and behind a great labyrinth. Now Sarah has just 13 hours to navigate the labyrinth and retrieve Toby if that is what she wants. We get to travel with Sarah through all her trials and tribulations. We get to kibitz do not go this way don't go that way. And you guessed it Sarah does go this way and Sarah does go that way. In the meantime, she learns what friendship and fairness are all about and gains a new respect for her new and old friends. This is Jennifer Connelly’s third film before quitting the industry to go to college. Of course, she is back now and a stronger actress than ever. I've seen this presentation on TV and VHS. However, for some reason, I forgot that it was a musical fantasy even though I knew it had David Bowie. Now with the advent of Blu-Ray, I am revisiting all the old films and this one came up on the list. The visuals are spectacular. The voiceover commentary gives you new insights as to what they were trying to do in the movie. Occasionally, especially at first, it looks like the characters are lip-synching and the sound does not match exactly. Later this is either corrected or you don't notice it anymore. Great Scott what is this? Available is Labyrinth (1986) - Limited Edition Collector's Set 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray [4K UHD].
