Labyrinth (1986) is a classic fantasy movie directed by Jim Henson, known for his popular work with The Muppets. The film features an impressive cast, including David Bowie as Jareth the Goblin King, Jennifer Connelly as the young protagonist Sarah Williams, and Toby Froud as the baby Toby. The story follows Sarah as she makes a wish for the Goblin King to come and take away her baby brother, Toby. Sarah immediately realizes the foolishness of her wish and pleads with Jareth to return him. Jareth agrees, but only if Sarah can navigate through his complicated labyrinth to reach his castle within thirteen hours.

The labyrinth is a mystical world that seems to have a life of its own; it has no clear paths, and the creatures that inhabit it are unpredictable. Sarah encounters many strange characters and creatures, including the talking worm and the friendly fox, as she attempts to reach the castle. However, her journey becomes increasingly complicated when Jareth sends his goblin minions to stop her.

Throughout her journey, Sarah develops a close bond with the creatures she meets and her character grows stronger as she overcomes various challenges on her quest. She learns that she must use her head and her heart to outsmart Jareth and his army of goblins. David Bowie's Jareth serves as an imposing antagonist, and his performance is one of the highlights of the film.

The movie's special effects are a combination of animatronics, puppetry, and impressive set designs that create a fantastical world that is both charming and perilous. The film also features catchy music written by David Bowie, including the famous "Magic Dance" and "As the World Falls Down."

Overall, Labyrinth is a beloved classic that offers a perfect mix of adventure, fantasy, and music. Its imaginative world-building and fantastic performances make it a must-watch for anyone who loves fantasy stories.

Labyrinth is a 1986 adventure movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 41 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.3 and a MetaScore of 50.
