Trivia
The owl in the title sequence is computer generated. The first attempt at a photo-realistic CGI animal character in a feature film.

Goofs
Approximately 1 hour and 32 minutes into the film, the Goblin King conjures a glass sphere. The sphere reflects the image of the Goblin King, but there is a noticeable discrepancy where his lips in the reflection are not synchronized with his actual lip movements while speaking.

A wonderful fantasy tale!

By today's standards "Labyrinth" may look dated and cheap but there's something about it that makes it special.

David Bowie makes it a stand alone movie in the weird ranking. The man is crazy but his performance is excellent!

Jennifer Connely (being 16 at the time) delivers a solid and tender performance. She was very, very cute and her performance totally gained the audience's love.

The tale is fantastic and keeps you interested from the beginning to the end. The musical moments are also great! The f/x were great for it's time and I wonder how they came out with the idea for creating such original characters.

The thing that I liked the most about the movie is it's art direction. The world that is created is taken directly from everyone's fantasy world idea. Colorful and dark at the same time.

Better than the "Neverending Story" movies, "Labyrinth" should be watched for lovers of sci-fi.
