Mary ya got to finish the trio Labyrinth , The Dark Crystal , & The Never Ending Story

[@2429Ryanspeer]

🎶You remind of the babe🎶

[@neutrino78x]

Mary this is another beloved movie from my childhood 🙂 surprised you didn't see some of this stuff when you younger 😲 it's a great movie 🙂

[@jadebel7006]

She actually chose the right door..hence why no sudden d3ath lol

[@maxatempa2112]

Love your Australian accent and your laugh

[@TheKyrix82]

"The baby's smiling" Allegedly, getting him to cry was a chore, because he absolutely adored all the goblin puppets. They basically had to keep him awake past nap time to get him to cry. That baby had a BLAST on the set of this movie

[@Leto2ndAtreides]

Good kid.

[@John_Locke_108]

David Bowie was an ARTIST. Nothing the man couldn't do. Love this movie.

[@Unpainted_Huffhines]

Right up till the end, he even played a convincing Nikola Tesla in "The Prestige".

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

He talked about what a challenge it was doing the dance scene with Jennifer Connelly. She was 14 years old, and his character was essentially trying to seduce her. To pull it off without it coming across as creepy and pervy, yet still communicating the intent of the character wasn't an easy task. Great acting on the part of both of them.

[@strangebiped]

Great comment! Perfect explanation about The Goblin King!@@dr.burtgummerfan439

[@0okamino]

Something else I came to appreciate is the great knack he had for recognizing talent.

[@TheKyrix82]

I mean, he couldn't do the juggling thing...but the camera tricks were good enough that you'd never notice

[@DanielTate-wt9jt]

Jim Henson wasn't just on Sesame Street, he was it's creator, as well as the creator of the Muppet Show and the Muppet movie movies as well as Labyrinth and the Dark Crystal. He also did a Muppet show on HBO called Fraggle Rock, he also served as a consultant designer for Yoda in Star Wars. Jim Henson back in the late 70's and on through the 80's was just about as popular (not quite but almost) as Spielberg and Lucas were.

[@charliepotatoes001]

Working together they made quite the team.

[@ForEternia]

He also did puppetry for the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

[@danielleyoung3133]

Hells yes love u gave him the recognition he deserves. He was a huge part of my childhood this and the dark crystal being fave movies and I loved fraggle rock!

[@SadPeterPan1977]

Also did The Storyteller, which I used to love as a kid.

[@TeddysTube]

Yes that's why I went to the comments too, to give Jim Henson due credits. .. It's such a shame that the muppets was bought up by Disney, and especially that THAT's what the young generation think the muppets are.

[@coldflamebluedragon196]

The baby is Tobey Froud, son of the creature designer/set designer/production designer for this film and Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal. He grew up and became a puppeteer no joke. The child in this movie’s name was changed to his real name as it was the only name he would respond to. RIP David Bowie and Jim Henson

[@sea-envy3137]

Toby has said that he was told he peed on David Bowie when he first picked him up. Toby is also not sure if he has memories of filming or not, since his parents' house was filled with props from the movie.

[@timmooney7528]

Tobey's mother, Wendy, also worked on the construction of Yoda.

[@Threeleebird]

In fact, the boy was chosen because he was the only one who did not cry or be afraid of puppets, which is natural given his parents' work and he was quite used to seeing them.

[@jsmithers.]

​@@Threeleebird🤡

[@JuryRigged]

Any time Labyrinth comes up, I have to give praise to Michael Moschen, who did all of the contact juggling. Hidden pressed against Bowie's back, doing very precise hand movements (balancing, spinning, etc. the glass orbs) by touch alone. And to Bowie for apparently showing absolute patience throughout.

[@_Althena]

And because he was close behind David Bowie he has to this juggling the first Time without seeing the Crystals.

[@0okamino]

The outtakes of those scenes are pretty amusing, and the patience and skill it took to get it right is very admirable.

[@rabbitandcrow]

Really love this movie. Fun fact: The fake looking owl - if I remember correctly - was the very first CG animal in a movie. And a great analysis!

[@berranari1]

I played the computer game and the owl was mentioned in that. It is a pioneer in computer generated animation that owl. 🦉

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

I think it was the "first photo-realistic" animal in a movie.

[@3xPin]

“I am exhausted from living up to your expectations! Is that not generous?!” That is a great line. Though it does border on gaslighting.

[@StoryMing]

He _says_ he did so much for her; all I can think of is that the ONE THING she actually, intentionally asked him for- simply to give her baby brother back- he refused.

[@3xPin]

@@StoryMing her wish was granted. She should have said, “I wish you would bring my brother back.”

[@walfiend2]

Here in Los Angeles they have the Labyrinth of Jareth's Masquerade Ball once a year. People dress up in amazing costumes and it looks amazing!

[@purplemist7]

I've heard about that and am planning on going to it one day. It's on my bucket list.😊

[@caseyh8386]

This film is the most imaginative and beautiful representation of the coming of age story. I especially love the ending, it always brings a tear to my eye. It's time for Sara to grow up, but the wonder and imagination of childhood will always be there, "should she need them" ☺ ♥

[@frozen1762]

For me this is THE 80s movie. I remember watching it for the first time as a kid on TV on New Year's Eve in 1989. and was mesmerized since the first frame.

[@berranari1]

NYE 1989 was a special time.

[@RoGueNavy]

My favorite line in the movie..."It's SO stimulating, being your hat."

[@Ugo2sleep]

Mary: Really?? Lol

[@robertlopez628]

The 80's was a decade for fantasy movies. Labyrinth, Legend, Ladyhawke, Star Wars, Neverending Story, Princess Bride, Highlander, Conan the Barbarian, Dark Crystal (directed by Jin Henson), and many more.

[@HandofOmega]

Krull, Willow, Dragonslayer, Excalibur, Flight of the Navigator, Flash Gordon, Explorers, most of Terry Gilliam's movies, but esp Time Bandits...

[@michaelruhnke6721]

The 80s were the best! Over all! That's what MAGA meant! When everyone got along with everyone!

Conan The Destroyer > Barbarian

The Beastmaster. Krull. Flash Gordon. Willow.

[@IndyMotoRider]

@ nah bro.

[@JK-sc8th]

There's an incredibly cute behind the scenes picture of Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie practicing for the dance scene where Connelly is looking at him with this total gleeful girlish love because she's star struck. You can almost hear her think "Ohmygod you're GORGEOUS!!!" It's just so sweet.

[@dechha1981]

I recently saw this movie again, and there’s a couple of things I didn’t notice the first few douzen times I saw it; 1) there are several hidden David Bowie faces. As a kid I only noticed one of them, and the Goblin King actually leans on one if the rocks that forms his own face. 2) every single time Sarah says the labyrinth is easy, she’s almost immediately punished for it.

[@trayas2272]

RIP Jim Henson and David Bowie. Getting older is realising all your childhood favourite movies are full of now dead people.

[@krashd]

There's a quote there "growing older means watching your heroes die". Can't remember who said it.

[@mattperiolat]

The entrance of Bowie in this movie where, if you were the right age when this came out, teenage girls everywhere swooned and more than a few teenage boys were suddenly very confused. Yes, and granted I’m a straight male who is checking out Jennifer, but have heard more than a few tell me this movie was serious bisexual awakening for them.

[@StCerberusEngel]

If you pay attention to the things in her room, all of the creatures Sarah encounters in the labyrinth are based on the toys and knick-knacks she has. You already noticed the connection to her dog.

[@kjek1]

David Bowie the only man that can wear weird clothes and have a hair do like that, or an orange mullet (Ziggy stardust) and still look attractive. Also he was just as good at writing pop songs as rock tunes. The music in this is perfect

[@BubblyRainbows]

My dad showed me a bunch of movies that he loved in his childhood, and while I enjoyed almost all of them, I always had some kind of issue with them somewhere. This is one of the only ones I loved completely, and I've watched it so many times since I was a kid. My favorite part will always be the door guys where one always tells the truth and the other is a liar. That whole "Certain Death... Ooooooooo!" It gets me every time.

[@webdrude]

well that had me crying at times... this movie is special, especially for its time. while so many 80's blockbusters had male lead characters and explored male fantasies and wish fulfillment, this is such a wonderful exploration of female fantasy concepts. it reminds me of Wonderland and Oz in a lot of ways, and does fit into similar stereotypes - that she overcomes obstacles through making friends rather than fighting. but there still is something beautiful about how she knows that the final confrontation is for her alone, and finds her own strength. i'd like to think that it helped some people escape difficult relationships, as both Hoggle and Jareth primarily try to control her through manipulation and trying to use her goodwill against her, and it's confidence in herself that overcomes that.

[@jrobwoo688]

Thanks for watching Mary. This is an absolute classic from my childhood. Please watch more Jim Henson movies. I suggest The Muppet Movies from 70’s and 80’s. And The Dark Crystal, of course. That film was terrifying for a kid in the 80’s.

[@GladtoberanDOM]

Need to watch muppets Christmas carol

[@sea-envy3137]

I have heard the theory that the old junk ladies used to be other Sarahs that failed to save their Tobys so now they wander collecting things since they forgot what they were looking for.

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

That whole scene is a metaphor for being burdened by your past and getting buried by the baggage we sometimes carry around. Great life lessons/allegories.

[@GeekingOutWithPete]

The crystal ball "Contact Juggling" was done by Michael Moschen, who had his arms under Bowies to make it look like David Bowie was the one doing the juggling. Also, Jim Henson's Creature Shop did the puppets and special effects for FarScape, which was a really great Sci Fi show on the SyFy channel.

[@alexhidalgo7110]

David Bowie is so iconic and a singer in the 80s dance magic is so iconic and catchy

[@mcgilj1]

Catchy song.. But Man.. It's not even on my top 3 in this soundtrack.. Such a fantastic musical journey..

[@waterbeauty85]

I remember this getting a lukewarm reception when it was first released, so it's good to see so many people voting for it and KZbinrs reacting to it. The puppetry, the music, the story and the character development have really held up very well.

Maybe in theaters because it was a staple on both cable tv and public television.

[@miriam8376]

That moment when you realize that all the goblins are other people’s stolen babies that were never rescued because their loved ones couldn’t beat the labyrinth… And I don’t think Jareth loves her. He just wants power over her, and behaving like it’s love makes it an easier manipulation. That’s why it’s so important that he has to ask-no one can take your power without your permission. You can always fight back, even if it’s just by surviving.

[@Malysari]

I love this movie! It was a big part of my childhood. My sisters and I watched this over and over. So many good memories.

[@thomashiggins9320]

I saw this when it first came out, and thought it was great. Dated SFX notwithstanding, the story holds up, and the performances of Bowie and Connelly are a delight. I remember thinking Jennifer Connelly was one of the most beautiful girls I'd ever seen, and I still find her lovely, today.

[@Com1xguy]

There is a Labyrinth Masquerade Ball held in LA that had their 25th anniversary this year. There are some amazing costumes every year. Check it out if you can.

[@scottvanhille5688]

Mary, I can easily go off on a tangent about this movie, just watched it recently again for the millionth time haha. David Bowie did the music and Jennifer Connelly was expertly casted. If you want to see more of her, she was in Career Opportunities, Phenomena, Dark Water, and The Rocketeer. I highly suggest the last one, it features Timothy Dalton aka James Bond from the late 80's. Nice reaction. This movie will always be a treasure. It's right up there with The Neverending Story (1984) and Legend (1985) with Tom Cruise.

[@Crazyhorrse]

She was so good in A Beautiful Mind.

[@aerthreepwood8021]

This was my sister's favorite movie growing up and since she was 5 years older, she got to decide what we watched, so I've seen it a million times. It also inspired one of my favorite Nekrogoblikon songs.

[@njones420]

It always makes me laugh that they gave the final talking stone in the oubliette a Yorkshire accent (not shown here). "Oh please, it's been such a long time" 🤣

[@nathankennedy4263]

This is one of my favourite childhood films ever and introduced me to David Bowie! Also who can forget “the bulge” 😂

[@EssEll9791]

🤩🤯🤭❤

[@WolfHreda]

I believe, according to the religion started around it, it's called The Area.

[@darrenbent7601]

This is my all-time favourite movie. I have honestly seen it well over 100 times, on all media (Cinema, TV, VHS, DVD, MP4). There are so many in movie Easter Eggs, with what's in her room, and town to what is in the Labyrinth. There are seven places where Bowie's face is hidden within the scenery, the book end in her room is Hoggle, the Escher poster on the wall...etc. Every time I see this movie, there is something new I notice, it is like a piece of living art. This movie is part of a trilogy of fantasy movies from Henson studios, this being the 2nd. The 1st was Dark Crystal, about three years before this one, and a few years ago there was MirrorMask. You should check out those other two, if you haven't already.

[@Gwill22567]

Glad you liked the movie. I was at a Labyrinth convention last weekend which took place at the filming locations of the opening scenes. Was packed with Labyrinth fans so its still got a lot of love even after nearly 40 years.

[@lolasweets8960]

Fun fact to the Dance Magic Dance song, David is the one making the baby noises since they couldn't get Toby to make the sounds they needed. This is my all time favorite movie.

[@jeffreytalayumptewa7238]

I grew up watching this movie! It was one of my favorites. I still sing along to magic dance!

[@dastan4637]

"The 10th Kingdom" - mini-series you'll regret not watching sooner

[@asciiavatar]

The 'helping hands' scene is still my favorite part of this movie. Such an amazing use of practical effects to convey something as simple as a conversation.

[@campagnollo]

This being a breakout role for Jennifer Connelly, it was brought up indirectly as a homage in “Top Gun: Maverick” when her character of Penny was introduced. They played “Let’s Dance” by David Bowie, her co-star in this film.

[@randallshuck2976]

Great story and the effects are impressive considering the age of the film. Hope you enjoy it. Bowie is on his game. Now on to a newer fantasy/romance/adventure sleeper with an impressive cast called "Star Dust". It is also fun with a good story and fairly good effects.

[@biguy617]

I love this movie. This and the Dark Crystal are Jim Henson classics.

[@Unpainted_Huffhines]

Fun fact: In addition to getting the name "Harry Potter" from the film "Troll", this is the movie from which JK Rowling got the name "Hogwarts".

[@Zero_Ninety]

She just steals things from other people.

[@Unpainted_Huffhines]

@@Zero_Ninety she was definitely very heavily influenced by '80s pop fantasy and horror.

[@ShawnRavenfire]

And 99% of the plot from "The Worst Witch."

[@c1ph3rpunk]

@@Zero_Ninetyeverything has been an inspired interpretation since the Greek’s first produced art. Add the massive amount produced in the last 100 years and originality is impossible, only new takes on the same basic stories.

[@mostaley5049]

I was young when this came out and Henson and the muppets had like a tv show. It was cool, even adults watched the muppets. Love your reactions. 😊🥰

[@cypher515]

As regards the Goblin King falling in love with Sarah... I can not ever forget Lindsay Ellis recapping this movie and pausing at the 'fever dream' section and asking... "How old was Jennifer Connelly when they made this movie?" With the number *"16"* popping up on the screen and Lindsay going, "Oh yeah. Labyrinth. The movie that _goes there"._

[@ColinTedford]

Now I have the same feeling watching *that* video - "Lindsay Ellis looks so *young*!" 😨

[@ThePorpoisepower]

Toby paneled at a puppetry convention, and brought one of the original muppets from this movie. And he also brought his own son, who was wearing his jammies from the movie.

[@FuzzyDan]

This film, in a way, was also about manipulation in a relationship (“gaslighting”). Listen to Jareth’s speech at the end and he tries to lay all the blame of his tricks and traps squarely on Sarah’s shoulders, claiming he was trying to live up to her expectations. And, like all manipulative relationships, it ends when the victim realizes the only power the manipulator has is what they, the victim, has given them. Take it away, and they are left with nothing.

[@vvsandgaming4648]

During the Dance Magic Dance scene they made film history in having more puppets on scene than actual people

[@granadosvm]

I watched this movie in the theaters... Like 6 or 7 times, lol! Then bought the VCR cassette and the DVD, and David Bowie's album. I loved that every time I watched the movie I could see one detail, maybe one puppet making one more thing that had a hidden meaning. The two things I loved the most though, were the message of the woman at the dumpster, how many things we carry that are trash to the real world, and David Bowie's music.

[@torenielsen9993]

Thank you very much! I was 8 when this one came out, and watched it with my dad. I was absolutely blown away (although some bits were scary to me, like the eyestalks and the 'helping hands').

[@BunBun299]

This is one of those movies I grew up on. I have the sound track on my iPod. It's sad what ended up happening to the Hoggle Puppet. It got lost in the luggage while being transported to promote the movie, wound up in a storage center of lost luggage for decades until it was finally found. It had decayed significantly, and the people who found it had no idea what it was at first. It was a very sophisticated puppet for the time. A little person in the costume acting the part, and 4 puppeteers just off camera each controlling a different part of his face. It would often take dozens of takes to get a single scene correct. 5 people playing 1 character and just one making a mistake can ruin the take.

[@krisfrederick5001]

This movie, along with Legend, and the NeverEnding Story are absolutely brilliant. 80's fantasy is its own thing entirely. So many memories. I will never forget on a Friday night getting pizza and renting this AND a video game with my Mom. The orange things heads flying off terrified me, and the bog of eternal stench made me laugh hysterically. Thank you and Rest in Peace David Bowie.❤ P.S. Jim Henson also worked on the OG and BEST Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and got to see it before he passed. He thought it was too violent, but it's brilliant.

[@bcn1gh7h4wk]

Jennifer Connely will forever be _THE_ Hollywood sweetheart. 30 years later, and she's still insanely beautiful.

[@robertlopez628]

Sarah was an only child then her parents separate and she rebels. She sees Toby and her step mom as a threat to what she used to know growing up. Everything has changed for her but the end of the movie she learns to embrace the change while also keeping a little bit of herself.

[@NGMonocrom]

Plot twist: David Bowie's character is not the villain of the movie, when you stop and think about it.

[@Entxq_]

Omg Tysm for reacting to this!!! It’s my childhood film, all the songs are so good and the amount of effort+ dedication they put into the film is mind blowing. And of course, David Bowie is phenomenal

[@erictayet]

Watched this as a kid. Dark crystal too. I'm a lifelong fan of Jim Henson. The movie is so timeless that I watched it with my kids many times. Wholesome and uncorrupted by weird messages online these days. Absolutely love Jen Connelly. David Bowie is awesome too. And the puppeteers of Jim Henson + the amazing animatronics puppets they create. Watch Dark Crystal next. It's darker but still has a great & wholesome hero's & heroine's tale.

[@roguechevelle]

I absolutely love the Dark Crystal and it's so often over looked unfortunately. I even loved the prequel show they did on netflix "The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance" sadly one of the first things the new ceo of netflix did was cancel the second season which was suppose to complete the story. I was extremely happy how much practical effects and puppetry they did and only used cgi when necessary. And such an awesome cast of voice actors too: Simon Pegg, Mark Hamill, Taron Edgerton, Lena Heady, Anya Taylor-Joy, and the list goes on.

[@seangriffiths4967]

This is one of the few films I've seen & never met anyone who dislikes it.

[@trxxe05]

OMG i’m so glad you reacted to this, there’s barely any reactions for this film i literally love this film sm it’s so good

[@jaimicottrill2831]

This movie is basically an allegory for growing up. All the creatures Sarah meets are people she might meet in real life. The party creatures that take of their body parts represent people who are a bad influence and will try peer pressure to make Sarah like them. Ludo is the innocent friend from your childhood who you should hang on to. And Jareth, the Goblin King, is the bad boy you meet who will be part of your "awakening" but who is toxic for you and you need to leave him behind.

[@MsKimifer]

[@raphaelperry8159]

Michael Hordern as the old wizard in the bird hat automatically makes this film better simply by being in it.

[@GriffinPilgrim]

There are films that shape you, change how you look at the world particularly if you watch them young enough. I am absolutely certain that if I didn't watch this as a kid I would be a different person.

I always loved this movie. It's kind of not loosing your inner child, although growing to a mature adult.

[@Thedesertguy75]

This is one of those times where the old " They don't make them like this anymore." truly applies.....The magic of Henson is incredible. Also the Dark Crystal, another gem ( No pun intended) from that era, how I miss it!!

[@ChurchNietzsche]

This is one of my all time favorite movies!! It ranks with "Princess Bride," "Goonies," and "Purple Rain" as perfect movies from my childhood.

[@BrianSmith-kv3px]

The 'actor' playing The Baby Toby is named Toby Froud. His painter & puppeteer parents met and married during production of Jim Henson's DARK CRYSTAL. He's since gone on to his own successful career in puppeteering, and is 38-39 years old.

[@Tim10642]

Great reaction, wonderful film, as a child of the 80s this movie takes me back. Obscure question, if anyone knows, the voice of the junk goblin is that the same as the chicken in 'Return To Oz'? Mind just made a possible connection.

[@najhoant]

Also be sure to check out "MirrorMask". It's a really worthwhile fantasy movie also produced by The Jim Henson Company, that was written by Neil Gaiman (an original script, not an adaptation) and directed by illustrator Dave McKean (who previously did a lot of covers for Gaiman's Sandman comic). It's a surreal, beautiful movie that gets overlooked by most

[@HandofOmega]

Worth watching alongside Coraline, by the same writer!

[@TheUberlisa]

Sarah accurately solves the lying riddle. Her mistake is when after the door opens, she says it was a piece of cake.

Toby Froud is the child. He is the son of Brian Froud, a very famous fairy artist. He draws anything and everything mystical and fae. It's really beautiful artwork! Brian Froud was the conceptual designer for this film and The Dark Crystal (which I HIGHLY suggest watching!!!)

[@veronicahamilton3174]

Jim Henson just wasn't in Sesame Street, he was genius behind all of the Muppets - all the puppets in Sesame Street and more. One of the great creative minds of the 20th century.

Toby Froud is actually the son of the Frouds, who were instrumental in character design and worked with Jim Henson to design the puppets. Also, Jim Henson's adult son participated in the movie as well.

[@mparantha]

I always interpreted the certain doom part to be that she picked the right door but was then punished for saying that it was a piece of cake. She was basically doing a live action version of the knight and knave logic problem and her reasoning was sound

[@berranari1]

I used to love to put on Labyrinth and fall asleep while it played. ❤ Sleep timer on TV.

[@AstroGreenWitch]

Its funny you mentioned The Wizard of Oz cause the characters in The Labyrinth are the opposite and I think that may have been intentional. In The Wizard of Oz, Scarecrow longs for a brain, Lion longs for courage and Tin Man longs for a heart, while in Labyrinth - Ludo is only heart (not brainy, not courageous), Sir Didymus is only courage (not brainy, not very empathetic - at first like when they first ask to cross the bridge and he's quick to start a fight, or how he doesn't care about Ambrosius's fear or how his hastiness to fight might affect the others negatively), and Hoggle is all brain (self-serving, not doing anything more than necessary to help unless he gets something like Sarah's bracelet or out of self-preservation by doing no more than what Jareth orders), then you can see them becoming more rounded after meeting Sarah when Hoggle becomes braver and caring, Ludo becomes smarter/braver (using the rocks to help them out of the bog or to attack the goblins in the city, and Sir Didymus becomes smarter/kinder (not that he wasn't kind before but he no longer rushes into a fight by respecting Sarah's wishes and lets her face the Goblin King on her own without insisting he goes too, understanding that if "if that is how things are done then that is the way you must do it").

This was one of those fantastic movies as a kid. WELL before cgi was a big thing so it blew my sister and I's mind as kids. Amazing songs to sing along with too. overall a great movie when I was younger.

Im glad you reacted to this. One of my favs as a kid

9:34-9:43 The baby is Toby Froud, the son of Brian Froud, the concept/creature design artist for multiple Jim Henson projects, like "The Dark Crystal". Toby would grow up to also work with The Jim Henson Company, involved in projects like "The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance". Perhaps he was inspired by exposure to puppets his whole life? :)

I love this movie! The "actor" Toby Froud was actually the baby and this movie was truly a family affair because is father, Brian Froud, was the conceptual artist that imagined all the creatures and costumes in Labyrinth, and his mother (also Brian's wife, of course), Wendy Froud, was a puppet maker (she is also considered the mother of Yoda from Star Wars because she worked on the Yoda puppet back in the days). Brian Froud as made numerous books on fearies and all kinds of folkloric creatures and he his my favourite illustrator of all time (it's one of my biggest dream to go to England one day and meet him). Toby Froud is now 38 yo and has become a puppeteer himself. You should now watch the 1982 movie The Dark Crystal and follow it by the mini series they did in 2019 (on which the whole family worked again) called The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance which is a prequel to the movie (but still watch the movie first). Thanks for your reaction Mary! I really enjoyed it! 💖

The Dark Crystal!!! So good too!!

Literally my favorite! Even as a kid. I enjoy Labyrinth but I think lots of people overlook The Dark Crystal. I even liked the prequel show on Netflix The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and am still pissed one of the first things the new ceo did was cancel it only 60 days after it's release. Only the crew knew it had been canceled but it was months later before Netflix announced to the public, even though the second season was suppose to fully wrap up the storyline.

I watched this movie when I was 8 years old. I had nightmares about of those goblins for months.

If you enjoyed the puppet aspect in the film you should watch The Dark Crystal. It was an earlier creation of Jim Henson and it’s creature director and creators were Brian and Wendy Froud (baby Toby’s actual Dad and Mam) who were the creature creators for labyrinth. Another 80’s classic!
