Labyrinth

                        Labyrinth is definitely Jim Henson and David Bowie both at the top of their game. A story that brings the real world to fantasy, while telling a tale of selflessness and selfishness. after seeing this the first time when I was a kid I thought it was great. though its a bit dated now, the amount of work that went into both the story and visuals was incredible for its time. Kate Moss plays Sarah, who is a teenager that winds up babysitting her baby brother. whilst babysitting she accidentally summons the Goblin King who kidnaps her brother and will turn him into a member of his goblin horde. With the afore mentioned theme there are many scenes which are super awesome vignettes performed by fantasy creatures of many varieties. there is something here for just about everyone and the display of artistic prowess involved with the making this movie  make it a classic. overall this movie is really fun to watch  even with the eighties datedness. there is alot offered in the way of visual elements, music and colorful costumes and well designed characters & environments that kept me watching.
