labyrinth behind the magic dance

behind the making of the magic dance from labyrinth

Every once in a while, I'll turn to my 7 year old sister and say "You remind me of the babe." and she continues and we go throughout the whole thing every time. Lol, she never learns. I'm glad David Bowie got to be a part of her life, at least for a little while.

David Bowie has goblin features in his face, especially when he laughs.  He makes a perfect Goblin King.

I love how the puppeteers had their puppets in character, even when they're not filming actively.

[JKolman]

If this were made today, David would be on a blue screen set surrounded by digital puppeteers and it would be cgi’d to death. There’s something about physical presence that can’t be duplicated by computer

[dollphinwing]

LOL "I did laughing gnome, might as well do baby gurgles" XDD

[viviennesee]

this is the prehistoric time were people who sang professionally sounded like *FUCKING GODS WHO DESERVE ALL THE LOVE IN THE WORLD* even *without* autotune

I loved David Bowie and still do, he was an amazing person, as a kid he let me escape into the amazing fantasy of labyrinth jareth being my favourite character, yesterday was a very upsetting day for me and many others

[makinseyhardcastle]

Looks like he had fun doing this movie. Must have been hard playing a serious character. He seemed like one of those guys who likes to laugh and have fun.

SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST MEANT FOR CERTAIN ROLES. DAVID DIDNT JUST PLAY THE GOBLIN KING, HE IS THE GOBLIN KING.

[cynthiao]

Let's not forget the other brilliant man behind this movie, Jim Henson. Much appreciation for both artists.

This is the behind the scenes I was looking for! I loved hearing Bowie's interpretation of Jareth, kind of revealing what Jareth wished he could do or be, and who he really was despite the grand title of a king, which was a big kid. So grateful that many great minds collaborated to make this amazing movie.

Bowie IS Jareth! All hail!
Singing with no mic and auto tune. Talent.

[brainsmall]

David Bowie and I have the dame humor. "My friend had a cute baby but no matter how hard I kicked it it wouldn't cry" and he said it so casually that I can't stop laughing

[sarahholland]

If you hadn't seen the film but had an image in your mind of the perfect Goblin King, David is it. 'Sinister sexy' . Makeup & wardrobe nailed his look. Timeless fairytale fantasy. RIP David.

Aww! David with a baby! So adorable! ^.^ I absolutely adore Jareth (mad smexy Gobin King), and enjoy the whole film as well. :3

[popnocturne]

Every time I watch this movie it is like opening a window into my heart and letting in the sunshine. It brushes away the cobwebs. It clears the shadows. Thank you for sharing this fascinating behind the scenes.

[Rojata]

It's one of those occasions when someone gets casts as a character and you then imagine no one else playing the character! Absolutely perfect

[alexrubio]

Omg 2:20 David Bowie is hilarious! And cute perfect combo!

[getitherething.]
