George Lucas produced and Jim Henson directed this gothic fantasy which pits living and breathing actors Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie (who, along with Trevor Jones, provides the film's music) against a motley collection of Muppet monsters. The film centers upon teenage Sarah (Connelly), who lives in a fantasy world of myth and magic, evil spells, and wondrous enchantment. She is baby-sitting her little brother when she cavalierly wishes that goblins would take him away. She gets her wish, and a coterie of goblins abduct him. She then encounters Jareth (David Bowie), the ruler of a mystical world one step removed from reality. He tells Sarah that the only way to get her brother back is to find her way through a M.C. Escher-like labyrinth and find the castle at the center. As she makes her way through the maze, she faces a number of horrific challenges (like the Bog of Eternal Stench) before she finds her way to the gravity-defying castle, where her brother is being held by the evil goblins. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi
Absolutely love this movie, my 3 yr old LOVES the it! She was even David Bowie as the Goblin King for Halloween! Awesome movie and I have loved it since I saw it when I was 10.
I saw this movie when it first came out and loved it. I still enjoy it today. Some parts are odd and some songs go on and on, but I loved David Bowie in this film and Jennifer Connelly was mesmerizing at times.
I have loved this film since it came out. I actually bought it when it first came out on dvd when it was hard to find. It is kooky and playful. A fun time for all ages
I remember this film it was scary when I saw it the first time I was ten years old and it makes me wonder about other worlds when I didn't know that is not possible until you open your eyes to imaginnation.
Totally reccommend it to the kids and adults all alike.
