Your next 80’s dark fantasy should be Legend (1985), starring Tom Cruise and Tim Curry as Lord Darkness. That’s the best creature makeup in cinema IMO. I suggest watching the US release with the Tangerine Dream soundtrack for the ultimate 80’s vibes. There are (4) releases and I wish they combined the US TV release with the theatrical because there’s a much longer scene of Meg the swamp creature in the TV copy we recorded on VHS. Labyrinth is my #1 favorite childhood film and soundtrack. I still put on this album to clean the house or rock out on a road trip. The imagination and creativity of the Jim Henson Creature Shop is incredible. I highly recommend watching the documentary on the making of the Labyrinth, it’s fun.
I second this recommendation! It's especially fun when you learn that Meg Mucklebones is played by Robert Picardo, the holographic doctor in Star Trek, Johnny Cab in "Total Recall", and Eddie Quist in "The Howling". One of my all-time favorite werewolf movies!
Baby this and legend were staples in my house had both on the same VHS tape lol 😂 When my favorite cousin came to spend the night or weekend this was on repeat 😂❤
@virtuallyveronicka and directed by Ridley Scott! Gump fascinates me, I cannot wrap my head around his build, his age, his movements. Like a super muscular child? It looks fantasical and absolutely real. Every time I watch I get amazed again.
@ very true, gotta give two thumbs up 👍👍 to Ridley Scott. The ‘making of’ videos are impressive; they built the forest inside a soundstage. My favorite supporting characters have always been Brown Tom and Screwball. ☺️
Thanx for this reaction, its fantastic to remember these old movies and now with my knowledge understand the symbolism behind, how all that was just simbolic, the baby brother was just a part of her, it's the essence that she wasn't valuing and all was a iniciatic prove at a superior dimension, we need to overcome the maze to rescue our essence. When the white owl appeared, I already understood that it would be an initiatory ordeal! The white owl is the symbol of this internal tester, he is the tempter, he knows our egos, walks among them, manipulates everything towards a possible fall, but with the intention of teaching us, aiming for us to see reality and make choices, freeing ourselves from any threat of falling and achieving immense light on a climb indeed. 13 hours to solve the labyrinth is another symbolism, we all have an internal clock, and hour 13 is the hour of death, of completion, 13 in the tarot is the card of death! So the maze is our life here, we have to deal, we all have "13 hours" to deal, to rescue our essences and climb in light! 
I grew up in the 80s and got to see this film in the theater. The ballroom scene where David was dancing with Sarah actuslly called for him to kiss her at the end of their dance (as it was in the novel), but when David found out that Jennifer Connelly was only 14, being a gentleman, he refused. He did comment in one interview that she was very mature for her age; that he didn't feel like he was working with a child. Unlike many teenagers at the time, Jennifer wasn't a fan of the legendary artist. "I wasn't cool enough. There were 14-year-olds who definitely got it." In hindsight, she believes not being "cool" played in her favor in the end. Had she been aware of how big of a deal working with Bowie was, she would probably have been way too nervous to perform. Bowie's personality helped Jennifer to get into the role of Sarah. "He was funny and gracious and made me feel so comfortable." After the film came out, she delved into Bowie's music and gained understanding of the impact he had in the entertainment industry. "After working with him, he became a real hero of mine because he was so kind to me - I was a 14-year-old kid and knew nothing." Upon his death on January 10, 2016, she lamented his loss, not only for his artistic contributions, but also his big heart. "It's very sad, his passing, for so many reasons. To me, not only was he a genius, he was a genius who had the time to be kind. That was my experience of him."
Some fun trivia: Christopher Malcolm, who played Sarah's father, originated the role of Brad Majors in the Rocky Horror Show in the London cast, and appears briefly in it's sequel Shock Treatment. He also rescued Luke Skywalker from the planet Hoth in Empire Strikes Back, and was also in the movie Highlander which came out the same year as Labrynth. He is probably best known for his role in the comedy show Absolutely Fabulous as Saffy's dad, Justin.
And remember that the little boy, Toby, was played by Toby Froud. The son of Brian Froud, the conceptual artist for this and The Dark Crystal. And Toby went on to work on The Dark Crystal: The Age of Resistance".
Don't forget that Danny-John Jules (aka Cat from Red Dwarf) played/choreographed some of the Fireys and Gates McFadden (aka Dr. Crusher from Star Trek: The Next Generation under her original name of Cheryl McFadden) choreographed a lot of the dances.
As an odd double-feature with this, check out "The Company of Wolves" (1984), also a girl's coming-of-age story with fantasy elements that sort of starts in the same place as Labyrinth, but is… different. Very, very different.
Rest In Peace Jim Henson 1936-1990 Robert Beatty 1909-1992 Elliot Scott 1915-1993 Michael Hordern 1911-1995 David Healy 1929-1995 Percy Edwards 1908-1996 Jack Purvis 1937-1997 Anthony Jackson 1944-2006 Alex Thomson 1929-2007 Michael Jackson 1958-2009 he was considered for this movie Timothy Bateson 1926-2009 Douglas Blackwell 1924-2009 Simon MacCorkindale 1952-2010 he was considered for this movie Christopher Malcolm 1946-2014 Richard Corliss 1944-2015 he was a famous film critic David Bowie 1947-2016 Kenny Baker 1934-2016 John Bluthal 1929-2018 Terry Jones 1942-2020 Malcolm Dixon 1934-2020 Denise Bryer 1928-2021 Paul Grant 1967-2023 and Ted CoConis 1927-2023
I've always loved this movie. Growing up, we had a VHS copy that we recorded from cable TV. The masquerade ball was always my favorite scene of the movie as a kid, and I loved Sarah's dress. All of the songs in this movie are bangers. I still own a copy of this movie on DVD and I still own a physical copy of the soundtrack on CD. I don't know if anyone else mentioned this in the comments, but Toby is Brian Froud's son who did all the creature designs. I was obsessed with his art work as a kid. I still own one of his art books of fairies Toby grew up to be an artist, special effects designer, puppeteer, filmmaker, and performer. I believe he was involved in the Dark Crystal television series. I think its pretty cool that his followed in similar circles as his dad. Also they originally talked about using Michael Jackson as the Goblin King rather than David Bowie. Could imagine how different the music in this movie would of been if they had gone with Michael instead of Bowie? To continue with your 80'S fantasy films now you have to watch Legend with Tom Cruise.
All the art is based on one of the greatest (maybe the best) artist of fairies and goblins, Brian Froud, and Toby, the baby, Sarah's brother is actually Brian Froud's son. The owl at the beginning of the movie is's the first CGI character from a living been used in a film. Lucasfilm, Jim Henson, David Bowie, Jennifer Connelly and Brian Froud together, THE BEST OF THE BEST
I believe you would really enjoy the Muppet films there's tons of cameos I think you would get a lot of them. My favorite one is probably Muppets from space
Edit I think you can find a behind the scenes documentary about how this movie was made on UA-cam This movie is all vibes and i love it. The fire goblins who swapped appendages scared the daylights out of me as a kid.
I wonder if Henson and company were thinking of the ballad (there are literally hundreds of variants), Lady Isabel and the Elf-knight when they visualized Jareth breaking into Sarah's room? FAIR lady Isabel sits in her bower sewing, Aye as the gowans grow gay There she heard an elf-knight blawing his horn. The first morning in May 2 'If I had yon horn that I hear blawing, And you elf-knight to sleep in my bosom.' 3 This maiden had scarcely these words spoken, Till in at her window the elf-knight has luppen. 4 'It's a very strange matter, fair maiden,' said he, 'I canna blaw my horn but ye call on me. 5 'But will ye go to yon greenwood side? If ye canna gang, I will cause you to ride.' 6 He leapt on a horse, and she on another, And they rode on to the greenwood together.
Did Jonathan say Hodor? Lol. Jennifer Connelly was in a movie - Career Opportunities with Frank Whaley, Dermott Mulroiney staying overnight at a Target store.
This is a family favorite movie. My favorite bit is when she sees Hoggle and the fairies. Definitely you should watch Muppet movies. It would be nice to start with The Muppet movie (1979) and tis the season for The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992).
Loved your reaction to one of my favorite movies. I've enjoyed your old scifi adventures. I saw someone suggested Legend and I would also suggest Excalibur from 1981. I love how you appreciate all the little things too! It was all stuff from her room. Her mother is an actress you can see from the newspaper clippings in her room and ran off with a fellow actor, David Bowie. I think this movie was also her coming to terms with that and growing up and accepting that sometimes life isn't fair and you get hurt but you can't control everything.
Cheryl Gate McFadden is the dance choreographer in this movie. As a member of the screen actors guild she goes by her middle name Gates McFadden while Acting in roles suck as Doctor Beverly Crusher she goes by her middle name Gates McFadden. As a Choreographer she goes by her first and last name Cheryl McFadden.
41:33 It’s super fast but notice how Sir Didimus is the only one mentioned by name (Sir and all) when it’s announced they’ve entered the Goblin City. How famous do you have to be to rank an automatic “Sir” from your opposing army?
Great reaction to one of my favorite movies from this time period! I would like to recommend Ladyhawke for your continuation of 80s fantasy. It is one I love (might be my all-time favorite 80s fantasy and I love so many others you have already watched) but never see reactions to. It isn't as well-known as most of the others.
Glade you finally watched this. Such a classic. Under rated. I had always loved this movie. But always wished someone would do the same movie but without the musical parts and done in a more darker way. And with today’s effects and cgi, it could be very special. Here’s hoping. But still love this movie. Great storey. And things to learn along the way. Our imagination is important for us all. And becoming adults tends to rid us of our child like fun in life. We make things out to be far more serious then they need to be. And to put pressure to succeed. Live a little, enjoy and create. Now people only allow themselves that moment of fun when watching superhero movies. And thinking things like tik tok and other social media is being creative. It’s not. Your own imagination and. Resting your own world is far more interesting. And rewarding.
I’m subscribing because you need to go on the Muppet journey. They use artistic fun practical affects along with great storylines, that’s full of sarcasm and witty puns 😊
Tis the Season n all that, Muppets' Christmas Carol is a definite recommend. If go with the suggestion to hit up the The Muppet Movie first tho, at least there's still time :D Christmas Carol particularly stands out as one of the most faithful-to-book adaptations, at least on how much of the text is brought across. And my favorite Labryrinth trivia, one of the voices for the Fireys is Danny John-Jules, probably most well known for his multi-decade role as Cat on the UK's Red Dwarf show.
OH! I'm just about to start your reaction to Excalibur and it reminded me that I also wanted to recommend the Robin of Sherwood series (1984-1986). They would, of course, be shorter videos...unless you covered multiple episodes in each video.
Great reaction sadly when the two originally people didn’t understand, it didn’t understand Jim Hansen, pyramid groups, berated it said it was too adult themed too scary for children. He wanted to do a sequel for so long, but he died before they could do one and now that David Bowie dead too, so Jennifer Connolly is a big star now It’s so funny because originally she was 14 came out top gun one was out then two and she was not old enough to see it now she’s love interest part two it’s just funny I thought deleted scenes. You know a blu-ray copy that said her mother died of cancer when she was four and the toys were all she had left to her mother the last time she gave her before she died You couldn’t understand that better when she was a protective of them because shortly after she died, her father married somebody else had a new baby so she went to him. A kid is still grieving loss and originally she was practicing for a school playi❤ in the park but now I saw an novelization of the movie. It said her mother left them when she was four to go to Hollywood would be a star before we started. She just visited her mother in Hollywood with a her mother’s new boyfriend Who had molested her and that’s what the goblin represents the new boyfriend who tried to molester at a party in Hollywood but I like your thoughts better you’re right it’s everything in the room or everything. She thinks important in her life allow something very well done you got it and a lot of others didn’t get it. You know people misunderstood her the character for a long time but I thought you know she’s not so bad she’s just a kid, Mr. mother but she has character growth, but with the novelization, out there. I don’t know what to think. Now either way she’s an abused kid. You are aware following threads to bring stuff together to make the movie more enjoyable to watch Fun fact gates McFadden Dr crusher from Star Trek generation. She was the choreographer for this movie. That’s how Star Trek saw her and caster for the role. Did a great job. Thank you for your hard work. It’s appreciated. You all. Do a great job on your channel until next time.
Thank you for the reaction. You got a lot that other reactors miss. Please watch Dungeon and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves from a few years ago. Now off to see if you thought Krull was as crazy as it is. Thanks again.
Thank you for this beautiful reaction. You should react to the EWOKS movies. there are two The battle for ENDOR. the caravan of courage. a hug from Chile.
Your Audio engineer needs to work on the setup. Sometimes the reactors are more in one ear than the other, the current stream of Coby watching Airplane 2 is completely unbearable since she is only audible in the right ear. The reactions are godlike and I enjoy all of them, but damn, if one ear bleeds and the other feels like its clogged since there is no audio on that channel, that's obviously not nice to listen to.
Why does 90% of reactors make such overly done expressions at the slightest thing considered 'ick or creepy'. I seriously don't see what is so deserving of "I hate it so much" about small googly eyes or hands. Trying to justify everything as just her imagination and making it all up really ruins the story IMO especially for first watching. Can't a fantasy story have magical and supernatural elements without trying to strangle it with our reality. Do you want Wizard of Oz be just a dream? Alice in Wonderland a hallucination? Saying Hoggle is being 'mean'? After Sarah took back the trinket she gave him for help? She is the mean one IMO breaking the deal on her end since he got her out of the Oubliete. I got a pet peeve about protagonists not being trustworthy in their deals. Too bad you cut one of the coolest looking scenes IMO, where Jareth takes a step from below the MC Escher stairs to above in a single move. It just emphasizes the otherworldly-ness of the goblin king.
Jim Henson who created THE MUPPET SHOW, SESAME STREET, DARK CRYSTAL & LABYRINTH also created the first two live action TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 1990-1991 before his to soon passing away in 1991
Jim Henson did not create those films. His puppet studio and creative team created the *costumes* and *puppets* for them, but other than approving overseeing their creation he had little involvement. He passes away around when the first film came out. He died in 1990, not 91.
@DanJackson1977 I know that, he did help create some of those tv shows ECT and his creature shop help create the teenage mutant ninja turtles costumes and the 1991 tv show DINOSAURS
Muppets movies? Eh, no. Or at least, they wouldn't be lumped in with all of the other movies you've been watching. They happen to share Jim Henson with this movie but they are otherwise just kids movies. Maybe it's an age thing, but while I'm nostalgic over Krull and Willow and so on, which I saw as a kid, Muppets movies were "for kids." I was a big kid, Muppets was for little kids. Can't wait for The Last Starfigher! You have a list going? Beastmaster, Ladyhawke, Time Bandits, etc., all on there? Whatever, you've been knocking it out of the park, finding all the good ones. I'm sure you'll keep it up.
Love both pans labyrinth and labyrinth. However they are too different to compare from the date it was made to the target audience. Pans labyrinth definitely is not one to watch when you need a boost of cheerfulness
@ Agree it is a tough watch. However I try to be optimistic. I would like to think Ophelia was a princess and did rule for thousands of years. I know many think she was dreaming and died. Not me
36:46 “Snap out of your David Bowie fantasy!” - many of us to ourselves after watching this movie
Your next 80’s dark fantasy should be Legend (1985), starring Tom Cruise and Tim Curry as Lord Darkness. That’s the best creature makeup in cinema IMO. I suggest watching the US release with the Tangerine Dream soundtrack for the ultimate 80’s vibes. There are (4) releases and I wish they combined the US TV release with the theatrical because there’s a much longer scene of Meg the swamp creature in the TV copy we recorded on VHS.
Labyrinth is my #1 favorite childhood film and soundtrack. I still put on this album to clean the house or rock out on a road trip. The imagination and creativity of the Jim Henson Creature Shop is incredible. I highly recommend watching the documentary on the making of the Labyrinth, it’s fun.
I second this recommendation! It's especially fun when you learn that Meg Mucklebones is played by Robert Picardo, the holographic doctor in Star Trek, Johnny Cab in "Total Recall", and Eddie Quist in "The Howling". One of my all-time favorite werewolf movies!
Baby this and legend were staples in my house had both on the same VHS tape lol 😂 When my favorite cousin came to spend the night or weekend this was on repeat 😂❤
@virtuallyveronicka and directed by Ridley Scott!
Gump fascinates me, I cannot wrap my head around his build, his age, his movements. Like a super muscular child? It looks fantasical and absolutely real. Every time I watch I get amazed again.
@ very true, gotta give two thumbs up 👍👍 to Ridley Scott. The ‘making of’ videos are impressive; they built the forest inside a soundstage. My favorite supporting characters have always been Brown Tom and Screwball. ☺️
Thanx for this reaction, its fantastic to remember these old movies and now with my knowledge understand the symbolism behind, how all that was just simbolic, the baby brother was just a part of her, it's the essence that she wasn't valuing and all was a iniciatic prove at a superior dimension, we need to overcome the maze to rescue our essence.
When the white owl appeared, I already understood that it would be an initiatory ordeal!
The white owl is the symbol of this internal tester, he is the tempter, he knows our egos, walks among them, manipulates everything towards a possible fall, but with the intention of teaching us, aiming for us to see reality and make choices, freeing ourselves from any threat of falling and achieving immense light on a climb indeed.
13 hours to solve the labyrinth is another symbolism, we all have an internal clock, and hour 13 is the hour of death, of completion, 13 in the tarot is the card of death! So the maze is our life here, we have to deal, we all have "13 hours" to deal, to rescue our essences and climb in light!

The picture on her mirror was her mother and the guy she left the family for. The guy was David Bowie.
The answer to, "Should I watch the Muppet movies?" Is always YES
I grew up in the 80s and got to see this film in the theater.
The ballroom scene where David was dancing with Sarah actuslly called for him to kiss her at the end of their dance (as it was in the novel), but when David found out that Jennifer Connelly was only 14, being a gentleman, he refused.

Trivia: The owl at the beginning is the first use of CGI to create a realistic CGI animal in a feature film.
"Realistic"
@@chrissmalley83 I think they mean realistic versus stylized. I don't think they meant the quality.
@@chrissmalley83 I was 7 when this came out and as bad as it looks now, back then it looked really impressive.
"She's played D&D for sure!" - If you look on the shelves in her room, you will indeed see the D&D blue box.
Between this and The Dark Crystal, it makes you wonder how effects crews could so easily have given up on puppetry.
You can tell that David Bowie was having an absolute blast and the time of his life doing this movie
The Firey's have freaked me out since the first time I seen this movie as a kid.
You will LOVE The Last Starfighter
Coming soon!
Some fun trivia: Christopher Malcolm, who played Sarah's father, originated the role of Brad Majors in the Rocky Horror Show in the London cast, and appears briefly in it's sequel Shock Treatment. He also rescued Luke Skywalker from the planet Hoth in Empire Strikes Back, and was also in the movie Highlander which came out the same year as Labrynth. He is probably best known for his role in the comedy show Absolutely Fabulous as Saffy's dad, Justin.
"Terrifying, but fun" describes the majority of 80's movies for children 😂 Fun reaction! Man, I miss Bowie 💜
Absolutely start with "The Muppet Movie", before ANY OTHER Muppet movie.
This story is about growing up, and letting go of childhood things.
Yet keeping your imagination.
Jonathan if you haven’t seen it I recommend The Storyteller. Not a movie but something I think you’d enjoy.
@@iann1363 Great recommendation! My favorite episode is still The Luck Child. John Hurt’s voice is iconic and perfect for the storyteller.
Absolutely, The Storyteller is treasure.
And remember that the little boy, Toby, was played by Toby Froud. The son of Brian Froud, the conceptual artist for this and The Dark Crystal. And Toby went on to work on The Dark Crystal: The Age of Resistance".
Don't forget that Danny-John Jules (aka Cat from Red Dwarf) played/choreographed some of the Fireys and Gates McFadden (aka Dr. Crusher from Star Trek: The Next Generation under her original name of Cheryl McFadden) choreographed a lot of the dances.
@@mobstercassidy9400 Yes indeed!
Brian Froud also did the art for The Dark Crystal
Great reaction Johnathan. Love the 80s movies revisited! Love the Labyrinth soundtrack. So much nostalgia!
Muppet Treasure Island, Muppet Christmas Carol, and the Muppets Take Manhattan are classics!
Hot take: This was Jim Henson's best work
Yes please, there’s lots of muppet movies and tv specials to watch that will keep you busy
I mean if he wasn't amazed I would say he'd be dead inside, right?
As an odd double-feature with this, check out "The Company of Wolves" (1984), also a girl's coming-of-age story with fantasy elements that sort of starts in the same place as Labyrinth, but is… different. Very, very different.

Best. Film. Ever. Nothing else to say.
I've always loved this movie. Growing up, we had a VHS copy that we recorded from cable TV. The masquerade ball was always my favorite scene of the movie as a kid, and I loved Sarah's dress. All of the songs in this movie are bangers. I still own a copy of this movie on DVD and I still own a physical copy of the soundtrack on CD.

I believe he was involved in the Dark Crystal television series. I think its pretty cool that his followed in similar circles as his dad. Also they originally talked about using Michael Jackson as the Goblin King rather than David Bowie. Could imagine how different the music in this movie would of been if they had gone with Michael instead of Bowie?
To continue with your 80'S fantasy films now you have to watch Legend with Tom Cruise.
and Ladyhawke with Rutger Hauer, Michelle Pfieffer, and Matthew Broderick!
All the art is based on one of the greatest (maybe the best) artist of fairies and goblins, Brian Froud, and Toby, the baby, Sarah's brother is actually Brian Froud's son.
The owl at the beginning of the movie is's the first CGI character from a living been used in a film. Lucasfilm, Jim Henson, David Bowie, Jennifer Connelly and Brian Froud together, THE BEST OF THE BEST
Let’s not forget Mrs. Wendy Froud, who is,
along with her many achievements and credits, “the mother of Yoda”.
I believe you would really enjoy the Muppet films there's tons of cameos I think you would get a lot of them. My favorite one is probably Muppets from space
Last Unicorn
Thanks, Jonathan! 🧝♀
The "wicked' stepmother is also Barb Lahey from The Trailer Park Boys
🥃
Edit I think you can find a behind the scenes documentary about how this movie was made on UA-cam
This movie is all vibes and i love it. The fire goblins who swapped appendages scared the daylights out of me as a kid.
Going by the rules in the movie... all the Goblins there were once kids who weren't saved in time.
You’re on a roll Jonny
Wore the VHS out by the end of the 80s!!
Same for Dark Crystal…which also has a terrific single season prequel tv show on Netflix.
I wonder if Henson and company were thinking of the ballad (there are literally hundreds of variants), Lady Isabel and the Elf-knight when they visualized Jareth breaking into Sarah's room?
FAIR lady Isabel sits in her bower sewing,
Aye as the gowans grow gay
There she heard an elf-knight blawing his horn.
The first morning in May
2 'If I had yon horn that I hear blawing,
And you elf-knight to sleep in my bosom.'
3 This maiden had scarcely these words spoken,
Till in at her window the elf-knight has luppen.
4 'It's a very strange matter, fair maiden,' said he,
'I canna blaw my horn but ye call on me.
5 'But will ye go to yon greenwood side?
If ye canna gang, I will cause you to ride.'
6 He leapt on a horse, and she on another,
And they rode on to the greenwood together.
Since you asked, favorite opening thingy is the Dreamworks one with the guy fishing from a crescent moon.
Did Jonathan say Hodor? Lol. Jennifer Connelly was in a movie - Career Opportunities with Frank Whaley, Dermott Mulroiney staying overnight at a Target store.
This is a family favorite movie.
My favorite bit is when she sees Hoggle and the fairies.
Definitely you should watch Muppet movies. It would be nice to start with The Muppet movie (1979) and tis the season for The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992).
He does so need to watch Muppet Christmas Carol.
Does anyone else have a big crush on Jonathan? He just looks like a gorgeous man that could make you laugh.
Ooh yes watch the Muppet Movies
Loved your reaction to one of my favorite movies. I've enjoyed your old scifi adventures. I saw someone suggested Legend and I would also suggest Excalibur from 1981. I love how you appreciate all the little things too! It was all stuff from her room. Her mother is an actress you can see from the newspaper clippings in her room and ran off with a fellow actor, David Bowie. I think this movie was also her coming to terms with that and growing up and accepting that sometimes life isn't fair and you get hurt but you can't control everything.
Jonathan has watched Excalibur - go check out his playlist
It's the season so perfect time for the Muppet Christmas Carol.
She didn't imagine everything with the labyrinth. Another fun Muppet movie is " Muppets from Space ".
The Muppet movies are great, especially "The Muppet Christmas Carol".
Cheryl Gate McFadden is the dance choreographer in this movie. As a member of the screen actors guild she goes by her middle name Gates McFadden while Acting in roles suck as Doctor Beverly Crusher she goes by her middle name Gates McFadden. As a Choreographer she goes by her first and last name Cheryl McFadden.
I was looking for this comment. I was afraid I might have to say it. I was surprised when I found out about that.
Heard rumors about a remake, don't think it's happening but I so want it to have cgi but keep some puppets other than that I'm all for it
They’ll have to remake David Bowie first.
@0okamino im cool with tom hiddlson doing
God no. Doesn't need a remake, reimagining, reboot, sequel,... none of that. They would only ruin it.
@sandman_says_runrunner4701 more than likely but i wasnt offered the directing job i would do it right
I think it would be ruined. No way to recreate that magic and no doubt the pc brigade would get involved
41:33 It’s super fast but notice how Sir Didimus is the only one mentioned by name (Sir and all) when it’s announced they’ve entered the Goblin City. How famous do you have to be to rank an automatic “Sir” from your opposing army?

It is one I love (might be my all-time favorite 80s fantasy and I love so many others you have already watched) but never see reactions to. It isn't as well-known as most of the others.
Ah "Ladyhawke"!! Michelle Pfeiffer grrrrrr.
Glade you finally watched this. Such a classic. Under rated. I had always loved this movie. But always wished someone would do the same movie but without the musical parts and done in a more darker way. And with today’s effects and cgi, it could be very special. Here’s hoping. But still love this movie. Great storey. And things to learn along the way. Our imagination is important for us all. And becoming adults tends to rid us of our child like fun in life. We make things out to be far more serious then they need to be. And to put pressure to succeed. Live a little, enjoy and create. Now people only allow themselves that moment of fun when watching superhero movies. And thinking things like tik tok and other social media is being creative. It’s not. Your own imagination and. Resting your own world is far more interesting. And rewarding.
Evil Dead moives would be fun 80s horror/comedy to watch. The 3rd one Army Of Darkness is my favorite
You really have a captivating way of seeing through all of it from the beginning and tying it together.
I’m subscribing because you need to go on the Muppet journey. They use artistic fun practical affects along with great storylines, that’s full of sarcasm and witty puns 😊
Have you reacted to the 1985 movie "Legend"? I really recommend
It is on his list - we will get to it for sure
Tis the Season n all that, Muppets' Christmas Carol is a definite recommend. If go with the suggestion to hit up the The Muppet Movie first tho, at least there's still time :D
Christmas Carol particularly stands out as one of the most faithful-to-book adaptations, at least on how much of the text is brought across.
And my favorite Labryrinth trivia, one of the voices for the Fireys is Danny John-Jules, probably most well known for his multi-decade role as Cat on the UK's Red Dwarf show.
OH! I'm just about to start your reaction to Excalibur and it reminded me that I also wanted to recommend the Robin of Sherwood series (1984-1986). They would, of course, be shorter videos...unless you covered multiple episodes in each video.
Great reaction sadly when the two originally people didn’t understand, it didn’t understand Jim Hansen, pyramid groups, berated it said it was too adult themed too scary for children. He wanted to do a sequel for so long, but he died before they could do one and now that David Bowie dead too, so Jennifer Connolly is a big star now It’s so funny because originally she was 14 came out top gun one was out then two and she was not old enough to see it now she’s love interest part two it’s just funny I thought deleted scenes. You know a blu-ray copy that said her mother died of cancer when she was four and the toys were all she had left to her mother the last time she gave her before she died You couldn’t understand that better when she was a protective of them because shortly after she died, her father married somebody else had a new baby so she went to him. A kid is still grieving loss and originally she was practicing for a school playi❤ in the park but now I saw an novelization of the movie. It said her mother left them when she was four to go to Hollywood would be a star before we started. She just visited her mother in Hollywood with a her mother’s new boyfriend Who had molested her and that’s what the goblin represents the new boyfriend who tried to molester at a party in Hollywood but I like your thoughts better you’re right it’s everything in the room or everything. She thinks important in her life allow something very well done you got it and a lot of others didn’t get it. You know people misunderstood her the character for a long time but I thought you know she’s not so bad she’s just a kid, Mr. mother but she has character growth, but with the novelization, out there. I don’t know what to think. Now either way she’s an abused kid. You are aware following threads to bring stuff together to make the movie more enjoyable to watch Fun fact gates McFadden Dr crusher from Star Trek generation. She was the choreographer for this movie. That’s how Star Trek saw her and caster for the role. Did a great job. Thank you for your hard work. It’s appreciated. You all. Do a great job on your channel until next time.
Love legitimis and ambroshis
Thank you for the reaction. You got a lot that other reactors miss. Please watch Dungeon and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves from a few years ago. Now off to see if you thought Krull was as crazy as it is. Thanks again.
Highly recommend the original Muppet trilogy
The helping hands are just the puppeteers using there own hands as puppets
They achieved their task quite handily, I’d say.
Obviously, it is high time to watch the Muppets.
Blast, Blast.
Now song is in ur head dance magic
Thank you for this beautiful reaction. You should react to the EWOKS movies. there are two The battle for ENDOR. the caravan of courage. a hug from Chile.
Look up hoggle found in airport storage.
Ladyhawke 1985
Try star I'm with you kid of the 80s wanted to see that horse grow wings and become pegasus
Can you believe this crap makes me laugh so hard 😂
Far from home? Does that make her spider-man?
Use your imagination. Stop analyzing. Have fun.
There The mupput Christmas Carols
Joanathan is so nice, smart , lovely... and SEXY.
I want a husband like him...
You shaved….no!!!!!!! 😅😊
Your Audio engineer needs to work on the setup. Sometimes the reactors are more in one ear than the other, the current stream of Coby watching Airplane 2 is completely unbearable since she is only audible in the right ear.
The reactions are godlike and I enjoy all of them, but damn, if one ear bleeds and the other feels like its clogged since there is no audio on that channel, that's obviously not nice to listen to.
Coby started doing remote reactions so we could get more of her on the channel. Most of these glitches will eventually be worked out.
@@popcornroulettereactions YAY!!!!
Why does 90% of reactors make such overly done expressions at the slightest thing considered 'ick or creepy'. I seriously don't see what is so deserving of "I hate it so much" about small googly eyes or hands.
Trying to justify everything as just her imagination and making it all up really ruins the story IMO especially for first watching. Can't a fantasy story have magical and supernatural elements without trying to strangle it with our reality.
Do you want Wizard of Oz be just a dream? Alice in Wonderland a hallucination?
Saying Hoggle is being 'mean'? After Sarah took back the trinket she gave him for help? She is the mean one IMO breaking the deal on her end since he got her out of the Oubliete. I got a pet peeve about protagonists not being trustworthy in their deals.
Too bad you cut one of the coolest looking scenes IMO, where Jareth takes a step from below the MC Escher stairs to above in a single move. It just emphasizes the otherworldly-ness of the goblin king.
Jim Henson who created THE MUPPET SHOW, SESAME STREET, DARK CRYSTAL & LABYRINTH also created the first two live action TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 1990-1991 before his to soon passing away in 1991
Jim Henson did not create those films. His puppet studio and creative team created the *costumes* and *puppets* for them, but other than approving overseeing their creation he had little involvement. He passes away around when the first film came out. He died in 1990, not 91.
@DanJackson1977 I know that, he did help create some of those tv shows ECT and his creature shop help create the teenage mutant ninja turtles costumes and the 1991 tv show DINOSAURS
Muppets movies? Eh, no. Or at least, they wouldn't be lumped in with all of the other movies you've been watching. They happen to share Jim Henson with this movie but they are otherwise just kids movies. Maybe it's an age thing, but while I'm nostalgic over Krull and Willow and so on, which I saw as a kid, Muppets movies were "for kids." I was a big kid, Muppets was for little kids.
Can't wait for The Last Starfigher! You have a list going? Beastmaster, Ladyhawke, Time Bandits, etc., all on there? Whatever, you've been knocking it out of the park, finding all the good ones. I'm sure you'll keep it up.
Doing the wrong one. Should be the amazing wonderful Pans Labyrinth.
This one was decent but nothing compared to pans labyrinth
I don't think you can compare the two. This one is designed as a family film and Pan's is too dark for children and has nothing to do with this one
@@candicelitrenta8890yeah, and pans labyrinth was so depressing, never had a desire to watch it again.
Love both pans labyrinth and labyrinth. However they are too different to compare from the date it was made to the target audience. Pans labyrinth definitely is not one to watch when you need a boost of cheerfulness
@
Agree it is a tough watch. However I try to be optimistic. I would like to think Ophelia was a princess and did rule for thousands of years. I know many think she was dreaming and died. Not me
Sigh.
Anyone else as in love with Jonathan as I am? Sigghhhhhh❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍 has he done Legend?
