Two of the most successful fantasy filmmakers of all time--Jim Henson, creator of the Muppets and co-director of Dark Crystal, and George Lucas, creator of the Star Wars and Indiana Jones series--have joined together to make Labyrinth, in which David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly star with an entirely new family of creatures designed by Henson for the film. Bowie has also written and performs several of the film's songs. In this fantasy, a film for all ages, a young girl, Sarah (Connelly), innocently dreams of being rid of her babysitting chores, but her dream turns into a nightmare when she meets Jareth (Bowie), the strangely compelling Goblin King. With his magical powers, Jareth can pull crystal balls out of the air, create castles in the sky, and turn humans--like Sarah's baby brother--into goblins. He puts Sarah to the test: she must make her way through the Labyrinth to the castle in Goblin City to save her brother. It is a journey full of obstacles, and a race against time in which Sarah--along with her new goblin friends, the homely, kindly Hoggle, and Ludo, the timid giant--learns the importance of friendship and trust. Making their way through the maze they meet the most amazing characters, including The Keyper, A Wise Man in a Talking Hat, Sir Didymus the bridgekeeper, The Junk Lady, and Hugh Mongous. In a New York Times interview, Henson has said, "We wanted to do a story with small, delightful relationships. The film captures a moment when an adolescent girl realizes she is responsible for her life."
