Fun fact about the baby, he was actually the child one of the puppeteers (her husband was the lead stoty board artist), so he had been around the puppets his whole life and wasn't scared of them (he parents also met while they both were working on The Dark Crystal)

[manicmechanic]

So the Labyrinth is about when you're at the weird age of not quite a kid and not quite an adult. Where you want to play with toys and play pretend but also you have romantic adult feelings. It's Sara's journey to maturity.

[myrarefolly]

I've always found it fascinating that the creatures Sarah meets in the Labyrinth are actually toys she has in her room, the song & the dress she wears in the ballroom scene is the same as her music box, and that Jareth closely resembles Jeremy, her mother's co-star & alleged lover

[lizard_the_queen]

as someone who used to be a teenage girl, i never really questioned sarah's behaviour. sometimes you just dress up as a princess and prance around and then sacrifice your brother to the goblin king (accidentally) because you were mad about your teddy bear. yk, girl stuff.❤

[Jonathan_Collins]

I think the idea with Jareth is that he's playing a role, and he's stuck in it. It's never really stated whether the Labyrinth is one of those 'different for everyone who goes through it' sort of things or not, but clearly Jareth, at least, is playing out the role she placed him in at the beginning. She made up a petulant fantasy about someone who'd take away her brother because of his love for her, and that is what he did. She doesn't love HIM - that was all just part of the fantasy - but he loves her, because that's what she wanted.

What makes their subsequent relationship interesting is that he IS stuck in this role, and she's not. She doesn't stay in 'whiny brat' mode after he appears, because there's more to her than that - but there isn't to him, which is why he keeps getting frustrated at her. 'I'm doing exactly what you wanted! I took the baby when you told me to take the baby! You wanted someone to love you; well, I love you - which is why I'm keeping the damn baby! You turned me into a villain; fine, I'll be REAL villainous - thereby giving you exactly what you wanted, like I've done from the beginning! A SIMPLE THANK YOU WOULD BE NICE!'

So as an adult, the beginning seems really silly, but as a teenage is pretty much the exact amount of drama that situation could cause

[TSotP]

In case noone else mentioned it already. The reason the baby playing Toby was so awesome around the goblin puppets was because his mom was one of the puppet makers.

[Sharpe]

As a child, I never once noticed Bowie’s pants. I feel like that’s something you only notice once you’re an adult.

[sheoingoonmyboingo]

I think the reason the Goblin King is so interested in Sarah is because the entire movie is her fantasy. Its more or less a dream, a figment of imagination. And as her fantasy he is enraptured by her.

[Neutral_Tired]

the 16 year old kid getting irrationally angry at her parents over nothing is probably the most realistic part of this movie

[Laarye]

In the beginning of the iconic "Magic Dance" scene, Toby is seen crying while surrounded by numerous goblins. In reality, the baby Toby Froud wasn't the least bit scared by any of the puppets used, and seemed to have fun with the scene. The shot of one of the goblins making silly noises and faces to make Toby laugh was a genuine reaction, and was inspired by many instances where they needed him to be silent and actually used some puppets off-camera to lull him. They had to wait until he was tired and wanted to nap after filming the musical number to get him to cry.

[carelessdreamer]

This traumatized me as a child, but it also was probably the first time I can recall being wayyy too into a villain.

[williambeckett]

Fun fact: Look up the story of how the Hoggle puppet/animatronic was lost for like 30 years. It was in a suitcase that got lost by the airline and turned up only 18 years ago. There's a youtube video on it but when they opened the case the puppet's rubber and latex had rotted considerably. Damn stuff of nightmares.

[bretsheeley]

As an 80s kid, I grew up firmly believing that all children's movies should be scarring in some way. I don't know. There is something great about seeing child targeted horror sequences that stick with you through the decades.

[sunspotmill]

11:18 Don't worry, Alex. That baby actor turned out to be just fine! In fact, he went on to become a filmmaker and a puppeteer himself and even worked on The Dark Crystal series on Netflix. 😉If anything, this movie probably *inspired* him instead of traumatized him.

[AtlasBlizzard]

I love the ending to this movie, and the message that we cannot stay kids forever, but that doesn't mean that we can't hold on to our sense of wonder.

[jaydamann]

Okay, I love the Labyrinth so I want to clarify something- Sarah is not doing a play, the Labyrinth is her favorite book, and she believes that the Labyrinth will be easy because she's familiar with it through her book.

[myko]

No, your absolutely right. Those movies had a “magic” that movies today seem to lack. It’s hard to put my finger on but it’s like a fear of not knowing what the movie may do or show you plus a sense of wonder and adventure into something wonderful and frightening. Like you said, “dark fantasy” but the 80’s had a certain type of charm that just adds. Ya know?

[ItsMikky]

This movie is chaotically beautiful and terrifying simultaneously. It is a fever dream.

[pogchamp]

11:46 "I'm not one for slut shaming" OK BUT WHY DID DAVID BOWIE LOOK SO HOT ANYWAY?!?!?! IT WAS SO UNECASSARY
