Labyrinth (DVD, 1999, Subtitled Spanish)

Sarah is a 15-year-old who loves fantasy and make believe. She loses track of time, forgetting that she must babysit her infant half-brother, she runs home only to find her stepmother waiting for her angry. They argue and then her stepmother leaves with Sarah's father on a date, while Sarah remains behind to babysit. Finding her favorite teddy bear missing she storms in her brothers room finding it there. Quoting lines from her fantasy book she asks the goblin king to come take her brother away. The lights flash and her brother no longer cries.

A barn owl flutters through the opened window and transforms into the goblin king Jareth who tells her that he has taken the baby as she had requested. Appalled at the realization of what she had done, Sarah begs for the return of her brother. Jareth gives her 13 hours in which to solve his great maze, called the Labyrinth, and find the baby. If she fails, Jareth will turn him into a goblin and keep him forever.

The Labyrinth is not a simple maze; the pathways and openings in the walls of the maze change from time to time, and are riddled with logic-puzzles and tests. Sarah acquires companions along the way that are chivalrous and assist her in her quest.

Sarah and her friends experience a variety of adventures, including an encounter with detachable-limbed revelers, a detour through the Bog of Eternal Stench, a stop at the Four Guards, a junkyard-like recreation of her own bedroom, and a hallucinogen-induced masquerade ball. At the ball Jareth attempts to keep her until the 13th hour by dancing with her. She breaks free of his spell and makes her way into the castle.

Recollection of her purpose with the aid of her friends, she realizes most of the obstacles are put in her path by Jareth, who seems to have become enamoured of her and desires her to forsake her task and remain with him.

The film climaxes in Jareth's castle, wherein he makes a final appeal for her to abandon her quest and stay with him. She defeats him by reciting a line from her book. The room crumbles away and Sarah finds herself in the front hall of her home with the clock striking midnight and the barn owl (Jareth) flying away.

The film turned out to be a failure at the box office, but all in all I think it was a enjoyable film to watch.

Move over Big Bird...it's David Bowe in tight pants and crazy eyeliner! Great sing along songs and dancing...who can forget the birds that play catch with their heads!!! Jennifer Connelly does well and doesn't get on your nerves too much as an annoying teenager. But the real star is the new friend she makes along her journey in the Labyrinth: Hoggle. Ludo and the Sir Lancelot are cool too...make sure you clarify to your child that riding the family dog is not a reccomended form of transportation...my 3 year old now what to ride our George a welsh terrier around the house..poor George! But Hoggle is the bomb...the character development and inner conflict is triumphant and hopeful of all of us who may not always do the right thing the first time. Great story and lesson for all. Did I mention David Bowe in tight pants...

I love this film! It's just the right combination of imaginative outrageousness, interesting storyline, fabulous sets and costumes, '80s kitsch and even some romance pull together to make quite the cult classic. Who cares if it didn't do well in the theater? It's kind of a rule that cult classics aren't allowed to be major hits on their first theatrical release. David Bowie as the delectable Goblin King, Jareth, is what really made me love this film (how can you not love him in tights?). He's simply gorgeous!

One of my favorite all time Movies,stars Rocker David Bowie & Young Jennifer Connelly plus Henson Puppets.Sometimes themes a little adult and surreal for younger children but all in alla simple story about Fantasy/Fable come to life with amazing Puppetry from Jim Henson. Pay attention to All the details and Beware of the Land of Stench. All in all a great family Film,that is still young enough for kids,Cool enough for Teens and entertaining enough for Adults

I watched this movie when I was a kid and I hadn't seen it in awhile and when I tried to find it in stores no one had it so I found it on Ebay and I love it.

One of the most enchanting and exhilirating films ever made. Should never be forgotten. David Bowie is remarkable as the Goblin King.

I've been a single mom since 1990, love rock and love "real". My oldest daughter at 5 years wore the video out because she loved it so much. Now she's going to school to become an OBGYN, but this video really helped her out with all of her teenage years and all of her bad experiences with boys and ultimately made her a much stronger person! "You have no power over me!" Now I'm trying to get my 21 year old daughter to believe the same, since her boyfriend of 3 years just dumped her for a 35 year old with 2 kids (her first love) Hopefully this will help, since she didn't see it coming and is devistated! This video shows some very important life lessons, if you're just smart enough to read between the lines! Sincerely, Rox

I remember this movie when it first came out and I loved it. Recently I started thinking about it again and finally bought it on ebay, the only place I could find it. I was not disappointed. It is just a really fun movie and David Bowie is quite campy, which actually fit the feel of the movie.

The movie was enjoyable to watch and I like these type of fantasy movies. A friend wanted the movie for her collection.

This is a good movie. It keeps you on the edge of your seat. It is one of my favorites, even though it is an older movie.

My kids have enjoyed this quirky 80's sendup for years. The muppets are great especially Ludo, we still quote "smells bad", even Bowie looks pretty good and we love the music.

My gift to my girls went over with rave reviews! They loved it. The music, the dancing...they remembered all the words to this timeless classic. I should have bought one for my collection.

Labyrinth, the movie with David Bowie as the Goblin King and Jennifer Connely, has been one of my favorite movies since I was a little girl...over 20 years. I wanted to share this mysterious and slightly dark comedy with my little girls. We all love it!!! I recommend this family movie.

I bought it because I thought it was one of the neatest movies that was ever created. I wanted to see as an adult if it was still as neat and it definitely is!

Of course if you are a David Bowie fan this movie is a must!!!! My kids grew up with this movie.......They loved the "fairy Tale" quality of it. This movie is clean fun for kids of all ages!!! If you enjoy movies such as Jason and the Argonauts or The Adventures of Sinbad( i'm talking about the movies from the 80s) then you'll love this one.....costumes are very fairy tale and of course the "muppets" are great.. Enjoy!!!!!

This movie is art in motion. It is an absolute classic you can watch over and over again. Great movie for your kids too.

All I know is I watched this over and over when I was a kid. I bought it and my kids love it. I have a 3 year old she wants to watch it over and over.

This was for one of my sons, saved me a lot of looking in stores he seems to enjoy it! made my life easier!

This movie is awesome. My kids didn't want to miss a minute of it. I watched this movie a bunch of times while I was little. It is as good now as it was then.

my son wanted this for Christmas and I couldn't find it in stores so I knew I could find it on half.com at the right price and condition. I have always had good results ordering on line here.

I was really glad to find the DVD The Labrinth as it is one of my daughters favorite movies of all time.I could not find it in the stores where we live without having to order it and wait forever.E-Bay was a real time saver.I ordered it and it was here in time for her birthday. Thank You!!!!

I love this movie because it was a movie that was watched many times as a child and remains to be a favorite of my family.
