Gotta love how her hair got even more 80s-ish in this scene.
Schlock Jocks 😂 lol
I'm pretty sure she was my unknown childhood crush/omg let me grow up to look like her. Same goes to Bowie of course! Lmao
I've never seen a more gorgeous costume than Jennifer's in this scene. The jewels in her hair are just ethereal. All of the costumes are beautiful and so inventive and fantastical. The 80's were such a no-holds-barred decade for fantasy filmmaking! Labryinth, The Dark Crystal, Legend, The Neverending Story. I don't think we'll ever see their like again.
In a strange way, this scene is so romantic, at least until the last few moments.
I could see it as a young girl infatuation for a pop star, so naive and foolish. But at the end the young girl knows she has to grow, to be resposible, to forget about the charming prince and to fight for her endangered little brother.
Jack K me think the lady doth protest to much
She’s 16 tho...
thats a child................................
@@kendyldodge2291 and? Shes 14/15, nothing overly sexually happens and Bowie in this movie isnt even a human...its a fantasy movie
His face when she chooses to save her brother over staying with him is just heartbreaking :(
and the critics brutally hated his acting ability.
Wtf... He's a groomer
He was a better actor than the critics gave him credit for. Very good in this movie
@@olsonbryce777 just turning her into a woman. The whole plot of the movie was her coming of age. She's 14/15. She starts the movie a child, ends it as a young adult.
@@Kissfan96dr That explains the junkyard scene where she rejects her toys.
This man has the ability to make glitter and eyeshadow look manly. Genius.
One of the very few men ALLOWED to sparkle
@@michaelmartin8337 You are obviously homophobic...
This is my favorite scene of the whole movie. It's so dreamy, yet strange with a touch of a romance that can't ever be.
Absolutely!! David Bowie is beyond handsome!!
Does anyone else think that it’s cute when Jareth is singing to her?
Yes!!! I love it so much!
no he doesn't,he never moves the mouth:'(
@@mineonlyedwardcullen look closely at his face in 2:23 and you will notice that he’s moving his mouth there to the music.
Wellllll. He’s like a muchmuch older kinda stalkery dude and she’s a like 15yp middle schooler.
@@aliahpersonous2893 weeeeeelllll. . .this is a fantasy movie and he's not even human. They didn't even kiss.
No one talk about Twilight when it's the same thing. A 300+ years old vampire falling in love with a high-school girl
In the original script Jareth was supposed kiss Sarah in this scene.
This is sad. But, giving the fact that David was 39 and Jennifer 16, is also reasonable. Altough I really ship this couple.
I wished the writers hadn’t changed the script for this scene. A kiss would’ve been perfect, and 16 wouldn’t have been “too” underage for something like that.
But he was nearly 40 and she was only around 17
@@justiny.6567 Jennifer Connelly was only fifteen when filming began.
Justin Y. it doesn’t really matter what the age difference is when it’s acting, in my opinion
This is her fantasy, based on stories like Cinderella. She breaks free, realizing that she must get back to reality and fulfill her obligations. It is wonderful film about creativity, adventure, bravery and finding out what really matters. Thank you Jim Henson and David Bowie. I love the idea of making this into a live musical!
I don't think that a modern day take on this as a musical would be as beautiful as the original movie.
Well said. Coming of age. 👏🏻
I distinctly remember JARETH was the first time I understood what 'horny' actually meant.
um 🧍🏽♀️
@@notreallyprofound677 Yo it's a fair statement.
Omg that’s awesome 😂
the snort that just came out of me from reading that 🗿
LMFAOAOAOAOAOAOAOAIA
His face when she left...
my heart just broke
FEELS
I know man
camila. My heart hurt like someone took a bandaid off of it
Jareth is so crushed when she shakes off his spell and remembers Toby and runs away. His face is so heartbroken.
My heart utterly melts whenever this enchanting scene begins… Just a single massive sigh from the furthermost depths of my being… A dose of pure breathtaking magic for a lover's soul. I miss him… Miss the sound of his voice and how I could drift away into it. Am planning to reenact this scene, the entire masquerade ball this year for Halloween with the help of many creative friends, like something from a dream and myself as the Goblin King. Music to melt too… Two different colored eyes… And someone, unknowing who that someone will be just yet as it’s said to be a surprise, that I will sing this very song too. Sigh… Just magic it will be…
Sadly didn't discover this gorgeous film and scene till I was an adult. I don't believe in romance and fairy tale love like Disney, but this makes a part of my soul yearn for a fantasy love like that (and scene!)
Did you end up doing it and if so how did it turn out? Inquiring minds need to know lol
WE NEED TO KNOW IF IT HAPPENED. Please share with us, it sounds totally magical and i wished i would have friends to do these things with.
How did the ball go ? Wouid love to see photos of it
GIRLL I NEED TO KNOW HOW THE HALLOWEEN BALL WENTT
If I ever get married this is what I want my wedding to look like.
Funnily enough it does resemble a wedding dress. I like upcycling clothes so friends mom gave me her poofy sleeved wedding dress from the 80’s which had a permanent stain on the skirt. Fortunately I was able to salvage the bodice and am thinking of turning it into a top. And now that I rewatch the movie it does look like a tamer version of Sarah’s dress so when I get it done I might have to do a labyrinth photo shoot
When Jim Henson died, I was so sad...now David Bowie...so many others are no longer with us, like Robin Williams. So much love for them all for making my childhood magical. ;_; I'll always be thankful.
i fangirl this scene every time I see it.
Iris Martinez same

oml fr 😭💞
This scene is about growing up. But she's too young to grow up even though at the beginning she feel she's ready. She's still a kid. 'Cause growing up is full of masks, lies, circles, and deception. Growing up sucks!
*her father and step mother were dressed up for an evening out ... The very reason Sarah was angry. She wanted her freedom but she had to take care of a baby for others. The ballroom scene is her night out, similar to her parents'.*
She is in such an adult situation and she knows she is to young to be there! It looks sooooo romantic
Das Berserker or maybe growing up is falling in love? Lmao. Calm down.
@@sunnystreet4950 Nah. Little kids fall in love all the time, and then do stupid things because they're immature and don't realise the consequences of a teen pregnancy.
@@Murkoph good comment, but there is a point. Falling in love for real and not just the usual crush means you will enter into real maturity because you’ll do things for the other and not just self. Sarah doesn’t even know herself yet, a very important component to real love, but through this encounter she learns quite a bit, especially when she chooses not to join the party, don a mask. It’s Gareth that actually has fallen in love with her-or is he even capable of love, we wonder? She reminds him of what he left behind, obviously with reckless abandon. He wants her to do the same. If she does, she will turn into one of them (goblins, or what we see here, dressed up goblins) and her power over him (and her power in self control) will be nil. She’ll be just another goblin whose affections ( like the one seen at 1:25) will be rejected for whatever else is his new whim and fancy.
What’s possibly romantic about this is whether or not Gareth could be saved by her innocence/goodness/purity/power. It’s his intrigue, but it’s NOT his to take and he has no power over her if she refuses to succumb to his seductions, promises of meaningless pleasures. That’s his lesson. As goblin king, is he capable of changing and more so what could he possibly do now to deserve it? They are opposed. There is tension because her power creates almost a vacuum and a glimmer of hope for him, which in turn creates a glimmer of hope within her that this is real love. It’s basically her own reflection or we wonder, is there something truly real about this- even if it seems like nothing at all? In a bittersweet way, she does what she does as an act of love, but more so for self, not him..but the side effect of her self love/preservation is actual love for him also.
I LOVE her outfit, from the poofy dress to that gorgeous silver thing in her hair. My favorite scene from the movie.
33 years old, wishing I was 7 again! Perfection. Absolutely adore this.
Just can't get enough of this scene! Her beauty is heavenly!
This scene will forever be so magical
Fax
Just saying... Even with all of this makeup and hair, David Bowie is still really attractive.
I actually find Jareth attractive “because” of his hair and makeup and his whole getup. Jareth is so alluring.
My fantasy the Goblin King 👑💗
wow i commented this before i came out and now i understand why i found him very attractive lol
Thats just Dio Brando lmfao
@@vanizorc yeah me too
David bowie is just stunning.
Cool
Ik too bad he’s dead now. ;(
SARAH: Did you say Hello?
WORM: No, I said Allo but that's close enough
Damn Sarah was soo lucky to do this, and look at Jareth straight in the eyes 😢😍
I love this scene. No-one else could have played the Goblin king but you David. Thank you for leaving us with this.
I always wanted to be able to look like Jennifer Connelly like she does in this scene. So Beautiful!
If you're ever in Seattle, I recommend going to the Pop Culture museum. They have the dress on display there, and it's incredible up close.
How can not love someone who kidnapped your brother and puts you in a labyrinth to save he? David Bowie is a sweetie!
The bone mask that was stalking her made me think he was the real Jareth, or the goblin side of him, watching to see if Sarah falls for his enchantment.
At 0:16, 1:36, and 2:30 he's keeping his eyes on Sarah (even while dancing!) Then he's predatorily circling her at 2:38. Finally, when we get that closeup of him at 2:46 there's a notable warning chord, followed up with another ominous chord when it switches back to Jareth.
The editing could imply that she was figuring out the bone mask and the man she's dancing with are the same person, and she's trapped in an illusion wasting precious time. Plus that mask kinda looks like an owl skull?
Anyone else agree? XD
Thought the same thing!
Never noticed this!!
I've always wondered who that guy was meant to be, especially as he is seen circling her at 2:38. Obviously that was filmed for a reason. I think things may have been cut from this scene (possibly for timing or they just didn't work) and that shot is one of the remnants.
I always thought all the people in this scene were just Jareth's goblins fooling around as they did in "Dance Magic" and other songs, but in her highly drugged state Sarah sees them as humans with grotesque masks at a fancy ball. They are possibly goblins who were previously humans and the one who is "stalking" Sarah could be a future version of what will become of Toby.
@@SummerBayJournal ooh that's another good interpretation
That's creeping me out! 😆😆😆😆
RIP to a man who literally defined generations
I want this gown so bad
Ever since I watched this movie as a kid I wanted to be her dancing with the goblin King ❤❤❤
Sarah is so much stronger than me. If Jareth made me dance in a ball with him, as he sings to me a beautiful lovesong, while gazing lovingly into my eyes… I would forget about whatever family member I was giving up immediately and run off to marry him
My favorite scenes 😍🥰
0:30 the mask reveal *heart clutch*
0:50-0:58- the fact that he only chasing his eyes after her even when he’s dancing with another girl, even ignoring a few
1:16-that wicked grin😈
1:56- that god-like pose
2:22- especially when he was singing to her 😍
And my favorite line in the song he sings to her:
*i’ll be there for you... as the world falls doooown, we’re falling...as the world we’re falling too, falling in love*
Thats like saying if “judgment day” has come (if her world or majority his world is ending ) he’ll be there for her
Even when she rejects him... he’ll be there for her
Kinda like that 80s song one of my personal favorites(“every breath you take” by the police...even tho its kinda a chiller😬..in the lyrics)
(I have Another theory)
What if the second verse 0:51-
“A such a fool heart, beating so fast, in search of new dreams, a love that could last, within your heart... was referring to himself
expressing his new dreams, his sudden new feelings that he dont know to formally address for sarah
Because ..aside from him being a pompous irrational hostile king
He know what passion love is..its just been awhile he’ve felt it for someone...and experiencing the feeling again
Delivers an sudden change of emotions (“a fool heart beating so fast”) corresponds with his irrational behavior which makes him act as a conflicted teenage girl with mood swings and insecurities
and these mood swing corresponds that he’ll do anything in his power to get her to only choose him (over toby... to elaborate in jareth language, “forget the child and be with me” )
The irrational side of him gave her the peach that put her in dream land and a trance...separating her from her friends and forgetting the mission ; the opposing romantic side
is blowing her bubble dreams towards her at the window top(if anyone remember that scene)
Teleporting her to the ball
Dancing and singing to her
2:57 it kinda look like he was proposing/claiming her in a group “faerie ring” while they circling around them
Anyways
“I’ll be there for you” touches my heart the most because its like he saying whenever you are sad or alone or in pain...or in despair(hopeless)
He’ll be there for her ...no matter what
Even if the world is falling apart
(Or ending, as if they in a apocalypse, he will be there for her )
And it seems like jareth is mostly expressive through songs
Which makes him a poetic renaissance fae ♥️
Sure he was irrational in the beginning but feelings
But love.. can make you irrational.🥴🤷🏽♀️ and it can be a twist with your persona
Years of being alone (especially with goblins) probably cause him to be more impatient and easily annoyed
And he’s a king ..he’s probably use to getting what he want and was taught that giving ppl things is a way to impress or get ppl attentions or affections
But he also has a soft side ...as we witness here and he probably learn to express his feeling through poetry
😭im looking too deep into it but im just expressing my theory
This comment is so underrated!! I totally agree with you!
Beautiful
True!!! I think the same.. I like when you said about him as "a pompous irrational hostil king". Yes!! That is Jareth❤
He'll always be my goblin king ❤️
awe you just made my heart melt like candlewax :/
Rest in Peace, Goblin King.
my friend and i always argue that the goblin king actually really likes sarah. she always says 'hes just trying to distract her in this scene so she cant get to her brother' and i always say 'way distract her like THIS if thats his intention?' anyways. i love these two. he did all this for her, but she just didnt know what she really wanted. They are amazing together
You are right, because if people payed close enough attention to what they say, Jareth explains at the end about how he dropped everything and was so "generous" to her. I mean it might not seem very generous in our eyes however he is stuck there with the Goblins so imagine being lonely in the Labyrinth with basically only Goblins who accept you. He did not know any better and his love for sara is portrayed so well by David Bowie. in this particular scene, the masks are showing how cruel people can be as adults and how cruel the world can be. The reason why Jareth only holds the mask to his face at times is because he is trying to protect himself from getting hurt or rejected by Sara. For the majority of the scene Jareth and Sara do not wear masks to represent how real their love for each other is. At the end of the film you learn that it's not all about her saving her brother but that it's also about her wishing her life away so soon and being prepared for all of the responsibilities in life that you have as an adult.
@@elliefitzgerald9207 I absolutely love your explanation to this. It makes me pay attention to this scene in a very different way. You are right that there are people who technically hide behind a mask. They don't hide but jareth did because he might of been afraid. Then again, who isn't afraid of getting hurt?
He did love her but definitely expressed his affection in a toxic way. So as much as I was hoping that “love could conquer all” I’m glad Sarah saved Toby and got the hell out
@@elliefitzgerald9207 damn who needs film analyses when I can just come to UA-cam comment sections. 👏🏽 Your comment and others helped me appreciate the movie more upon watching it the second time. This is one movie where you always pick up on something new each time you watch it
In the book, the goin king does fall in love with her as the journey goes on. So at first he was being a total jerk then by this point he is falling for her.
He fell in love with her during her journey. Read the book, it's worth it.
Which book? I’ve been trying to figure this out x
@@beki3520 me too 😭
@@beki3520 I think it is just called The Labyrinth
He is grooming her.
He is old and she is child.
@@sianbelleful techically dracula too.
Oh... sigh. Just... sigh~ This part will always get to me, no matter how many times I watch it. It doesn't help that the song is on heavy rotation at work.
i really want this scene to go forever the scene itself and the music is enchanting...
Oh yes! I wanted to see so much more of this kind of version of Jareth's court. It goes by so fast. :(
Yeah - but all bubbles have to burst sooner or later.
And that's only one of the clever metaphors going on in this whole sequence.
I’ve been listening to this for 3 hours straight it never gets boring
David Bowies smile is so captivating...such a stunning man ❤️
I love the Goblin King's little fanged canine teeth. They make him look sooo deliciously demonic when he smiles. 1:16
joygasm916 😆 I know right
Sammmme
When they start dancing it's just beautiful
Devastated at his passing today....and this scene is haunting me, because he was the King in many ways - RIP David one of the beautiful people xx :(
His smoldering gazes in this scene are too much man, dying ♥
Absolute perfection. There will never be another BOWIE
Beautiful scene in a beautiful movie....
Rest in Peace, David Bowie.
She's just so stunningly beautiful
Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) in this scene is the most elegant and beautiful piece of art I have ever laid eyes upon, that dress and that face! WOW
we're not allowed to think so
Honestly one of the best scenes of any movie I’ve watched, the music the theme, the dance, the mystery, and of course, DAVID.
She is absolutely beautiful ❤️
Jareth and Sara are the only ones without masks.
He does have a mask. The very first time we see him here - then he lowers it, we see his face for a second, then he disappears.
This scene never fails to mesmerise me
i've been watching this scene over and over when i was 14 ;P
I understand what you mean;)
I need her dress for my wedding, and I need David as my husband...
Gods this scene is so beautiful.
rest in peace david
+Stormie Haworth When he passed away I was thinking about this movie.
I have tears of happiness every time I listen to this song his voice, him, everything about it is just so mesmerizing and amazing I wish I had met him.❤️
he looks so devastated when she leaves.
Sarah was super pretty in this scene and I love this movie
The scene has so much meaning for a kid's film.
Beautiful.
One of the most beautiful scenes in cinema
I love this scene in the movie and love the song he wrote even more 🥰 had a crush on David Bowie since I was 16 ! 34 now and still do absolute legend RIP 😢❤️
That was so beautiful in every way,;I could watch this scene over and over again!
Jennifer Connelly's hair, the ballroom, the music, all of it was gorgeous!
I remember getting the video for my 6th birthday back in the 80's, I remember being completely mesmerised by the man who played the Goblin King ( David Bowie) his voice gave me chills and from that very moment I was under his amazing spell and always will be. I've been a fan of Bowie ever since.
He was such a beautiful work of art. ❤
Same, so magical ❤❤❤
She definitely was a kid out of her depth in this scene. You ever been in a social situation you felt you were out of your depth?? Sarah was getting a crash course of the adult world surrounding her and it's written on her face. Adolescents see things in black and white. It's the age between a children and adult children. Definitely one of the best movies of all time when I was a kid. Now that I'm an adult child myself you understand the movie's subtleties and overtness
She is so beautiful! And this is one of the best scenes in the movie.
15,699 views? why does it only show how many times ive watched it?
I love Sarah in this scene, she's so beautiful and her dress is amazing
Agreed😍🥰
They don’t make em like this no more
Other than Dance Magic Dance, this looks and feels like a music video.
be free my brother. you had amazing talent. I'm so happy that you're no longer in pain and in a place that's free
+Carlie Foster hes your brother???
Fun fact - the woman you see on the left who laughs when the snake pops out of the box is Jim Hensons daughter Cheryl, who not only worked on the movie with him but was also the inspiration for Sarah's character (eg being into theatre, being kind of dramatic etc)
I REALLY MUSN'T SHIP IT... MUST... RESIST.... DON'T SHIP IT WOMAN....
Dammit, I ship it.
Archie Holt same 😂
Same :v
The struggle is real
i mean she was 15 and he was like over 30 ..... gross
You want to ship it? What does that mean?
Honestly this scene makes me very emotional 😭 😭😭😭😭
This dance sequence (and many others) was choreographed by Gates McFadden ( credited as Cheryl McFadden ).
I can’t get this great song out of my head. 😌
Ergh, I saw this movie for the first time this past weekend and I wanted them to end up together. TO THE FANFICTION!!
God I can’t stop crying 😭 Someone comfort me
What a great voice David Bowie had and absolutely loved this movie!! Great memories as a kid brings tears to my eyes
This is one of my absolute favourite movie scenes!!! I need that dress so badly! :3
It’s so romantic and tragic and beautiful all at the same time.
No, I can't believe it, David's gone. :( R.I.P.
Jennifer Connelly was truly perfect for this movie. She was tall, slender, and could easily look anywhere between 15 and 20 honestly. An innocent, girlish quality but also graceful and mature. Such spot-on casting.
This is honestly my favorite movie ever.
Yasss, same
me too. I kinda wish they made a second one after that movie
I love this movie so damn much. Everyone, from David Bowie to Jennifer Connelly, to all the amazing puppeteers and craftspeople, and of course Jim Henson, did such an amazing job. This will always be a treasure to me, and I love showing it to people who've never seen it.
If they put this scene in VR, every hopeless romantic would be as trapped as Sarah was.
her dress SLLLLLLAAYS!
Mr. Bowie, your voice and 🎶 are beautiful❤
I was 12 when I saw this scene and I was mesmerized by it. As I got older I understood why I loved it so much. It made me fully understand the emotions of romance, passion, obsession and desire… as an adult in my 40s, I’m still mesmerized by it.
Lol Labyrinth, that one movie where the guy has twice as much make-up on his face as the girl and it somehow still works
This is my favorite scene from the movie! Am i the only one that listend to this song for ages and actualy learned to sing this song by myself!?
This song makes me emotional ❤
Vexx Angel Dragon I love this song too 😭
@@hansgruber7640 ❤
The magic is in it being equal parts romantic and frightening, equal parts beautiful and grotesque.
Still such an iconic movie! I always loved how puffy her dress is, and how beautifully her makeup and hair were done! And David Bowie's outfit and makeup are on point for this scene!
*Calls sister up* "Lets watch the Labyrinth for the hundredth time again."
He's just the most attractive man in the world honestly. I get why she saves her brother but dear God the amount of self control you have to have to say no to that man is just otherworldly
The devil is very seductive.. it’s interesting just how many of us women would swoon and pick the devil in an instant
This scene is perfect.
honestly if the goblin king smiled at me that way i would of stayed with him in the castle forever 🥰
Truly a faerie king
