I wonder how many, "Can you give me a hand?" jokes there were on set.
I bet it took a handful of people to get this scene right!!! (pun intended)
Jim Henson truly created magic
deputyseal409 I agree! Rip Jim Henson. From Virginia. 🎵🌈🎁😢🍒
Wow, this is so crazy to see. They just don't make movies like this anymore. Well, I suppose Jim Henson movies were one of a kind, but still, it's crazy how much work went into practical effects back then. There were also the John Carpenter movies, David Cronenberg, etc.. This was the golden age of film effects if you ask me.
Dudley McBest not to the degree of a Henson film, is the new starwars Henson like the previous ones?
Dudley McBest
Aren't you supposed to be trolling right now Dudley?
Dudley McBest it is. Cgi especially now, has become pretty good, Lotr and countless other movies look fine with cgi. The only thing that sucks are remakes of practical effect movies, or horror films with cgi every where.
Eh, I gotta admit Christopher Nolan does some crazy stuff (like the vertically rotating room set for Inception), but nowadays, noone would do something this complicated and involved for like a Fantasy or Horror thing. It's a shame, and you see a good reason why in this video: With real props that you can physically work with, you can just play around with them and try ideas.
It's neat the new Star Wars movies have rubber costume monsters, though.
Dudley McBest Exactly right there are few sci-fi movies that couldn't be remade better today with modern cinematic tech.
This scene is pure gold and a classic. it is certainly a masterpiece in the History of Special Effects.. It's a brilliant idea. No CGI can be better than this.
All that work, for such a short little scene in the film. Good work guys!
Wait wait wait, woah.... a PYTHON was behind this?! Bloody Hell, no wonder I loved this film so much~
That was my reaction just now. I have been a huge fan of this movie most of my life and didn't know that Terry Jones was involved, as the screenplay writer.
2:10 cracks me up with the light and eerie music and then you see tons of hands, and then it’s just people carrying bunches of hands.
the most intriguing and beautiful creation of a scene, ever! Until this day, no matter how many new films I see, I find the idea of this simply mindbogglingly-wonderful to view. Nothing can replace artistry of real talent- CGI can't come close to this in terms of unique and visually stimulating
OH MY GOD....Jim Henson is ADORABLE here! He sounds so MUCH like Kermit...I love that, just like I LOVE the fact that Frank Oz sounds so much like Fozzy Bear in his natural voice that it's amazing!
I don't know. Oz sounds more like Bert. And the two personalities match.
Labyrinth is a movie masterpiece that stands the test of time brilliant by all concerned.
To watch a Genius at work come up with that on the fly. I never appreciated it as a kid but to see it now is so visually amazing and creative.
2:53 There's just something about Brian Henson's voice that's so soothing.
Gotta hand it to them they did a great job!
Hand in to them? Haha good one
lol
Very
Legendary movie, I'm gonna go watch this again.
Absolutely love methods such as this! All you get today is a bunch of CGI garbage. Henson was an absolute genius and had more creativity is his little finger that most of the movie makers and screenwriters these days.
This is the stuff that makes me glad we have something like UA-cam.
Isnt this better than all the CGI crap these days??
I've been screaming that for a long time. I think some film makers are wisening up finally.
isthismeisthatyou ok boomer
It is! TMNT had a factory for the suits. The real life films(my way of saying what films) A place to fix the suits due to wearing down. It's called factory but it was a place to repair the suits and keep the parts.
Hell yes
@@infiniteoctopaw Poor kid will never know the joys of growing up with real, tangible things and mostly good people, a system that works, trust. The western culture is a shell of itself in all aspects.
2:26 All that work, for such a short little scene in this film. Great work, guys.
It always did occur to me every time I watched this film, that the hands ask the same question in so many variations. Now I know why- the effort and skill involved just to create this scene was magnificent; so, understandably, they wanted to get their money's worth....and quite rightly too!!
I never knew that Terry Jones was behind that. It's a logical form of communication (although the physical production of a voice is impossible with hands) because they're just hands. It's strange when I see and hear Jim talking because I see a man, but all I hear is Kermit and other Muppets. Good times.
Gosh I could just listen to Jim speak forever. His voice is so wonderful, and the things he talks about are so interesting. Love this man.
I just watched this again a few days ago. I soooo had a crush on Jennifer Connelly as a kid.
I would've loved to have been one of those hands...
As a kid? I STILL have a crush!!
We all did. We all did.
Wow I Didn't know what Awesome Art work & puppetry went into this awesome film Labyrinth it's one of my Favourite Films.
It's amazing what they used to do, you really have to HHHHHAAAAANNNNDDDD it to them.
This is ARTISTRY at its finest! It's incredible how resourceful and imaginative the whole crew was.
Still one the most amazing effects ever!
SO Amazing, I Always Loved the talking hand~faces..
Yes. thank You.
Wow total respect to Jennifer Connelly for not getting vertigo in the shaft of hands
Jim was a true artist. His genius is sorely missed.
god you know when a Python and Jim Henson work together Great things happen
Jim Henson seemed like such a kind gentle person
When you only realise now, as a 17 year old child who wasn’t born yet when it was released but you mother was a teen/in her twenties when this was released, that terry giliam (who is from Monty python by the way) helped with the film and never knew when she saw the movie growing up. I am happy this happened both this and Monty python are my childhood
Except that's Terry Jones. Gilliam was the other Terry in Python.
"She chose down"
Oops! She chose down.⤵ I wonder what would have happened if she chose up??
Then we wouldn't have had such a wonderful adventure to watch!
"Too late now"
That's the thing about this movie, look at all the hard work that went into this! Imagine how difficult and tedious some of this stuff must have been. I'm not knocking modern CGI or anything but there is something quite special about old fashioned special effects and I really hope we see it again in movies at some point.
I cannot fathom how much I want a sequel to this movie
When Jim Henson says 'I think it can be done,' you can only expect great things.
I love how you guys documented everything.
Wonderful old school stuff.
Amazing, one of my favorite scenes in the movie.
That's one of the best scenes in the movie; really cool to get a behind the scenes look!
So cool!! That must have been such an exciting production to work on.
RIP Jim
This scene was pure genius
I always get confused between Labyrinth and Pan's Labyrinth and I thought this was about the freaky creature with the eye hands from the latter
How do you confuse movies that are like 20-25 years apart? That makes less sense than the dude above not knowing who Kermit's voice was......sigh
Really don't want to mix those two up when picking a movie for a kid's birthday party :)
Anthony EagleElk they both have the name Labyrinth
Jackson DeStefano
Um...they're 50% the same title. It's a very acceptable mistake. Relax
DJFP I think you meant to reply to Anthony, not me
As a Kid growing up watching this movie on HBO Jennifer Connelly was my first Crush.
So stinking cool!!!!!!......love this idea!
Wow. Its amazing to see how much work went into making these films years ago. Something that can so easily be achieved with AI today. ❤
I don't care what people say. Jim Henson was a genius. Way ahead of his time. Were he still alive today, he would have pushed the limits of animatronics, just as Walt Disney pushed the limits of animation.
Oh he was already doing it back when he was alive with things like the Doozers on Fraggle Rock and Hoggle's remote controlled face in Labyrinth. A large amount of credit is owed to engineering wizard Faz Fazakas who designed all those remote mechanisms and was able to make just about every kind of electronic puppetry technique Jim dreamed up a reality.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE
"I've never had so many hands on me in one day"
She was super cute as a teenager
not only as a teenager ..
Those hands really scared me as a kid, almost as much as the firey creatures with detachable heads!!
I can make a a rather impressive frog out of my hands. Just the combo of this seen and seeing/hearing Jim makes me remember warm things about my childhood
I applaud creative minds!
Hey, I have a pretty cool idea...now all I have to do is bounce it off of Jim Henson to turn it into a FRIGGIN AWESOME idea....
Yeah, Henson was crazy talented and a genuine inspiration.
0:41 I am, Hennifer - Lopez!
I want some tacos! Y burrito! Taco taco!
Not gonna lie, this was my favorite scene out of the entire movie. Very cool concept.
Truly amazing. They don't make kids movies like this any more :)
Oh, Jim.
We miss you so much.
listening to jim henson speak is so magical, noone has gotten kermit right since him.
god that's brilliant.. that's what happens when you put a bunch of geniuses together and let them run with their ideas.
And the sad thing is, you could USE Cgi to make something like this easier..people could perhaps wear just motion capture gloves, and not have to bend over each other's shoulders.. it should be making creativity easier, not replacing it.
The Helping Hands part always creeped me out. :D Excellent job, everyone!
I remember that scene from my early childhood. It was quite scary. Even now, it stands the test of time. So much real and evocative than endless cgi. Remember when Iron Man walked around in an actual suit? Looked more realistic.
So creative!
this movie reminds me of a PG Hellraiser Musical.
I would've been really freaked out if I had a bunch of hands all around me like that!
We need a sequel!!! Bowie still looks young, especially with Jareth's makeup and if he lost a tiny bit of weight. Pleeaseeee??!?!!? :(:(
D Meep OMG I'm reading this in 2017. RIP David Bowie.
RIP David Bowie
RIP Jim Henson
that most definitely does look like Harry Potter in the yellow at 1:42.
watching this as an adult (born in 86)…couldn't help but think something pervy during this scene lol
Man, how cool it would be to have a job that includes figuring out how to create a face out of a few hands...
It's so odd to hear Kermit's voice talking normally, lol.
the labrinth is a oldy but goodie
No Kermit just never broke out of his Jim Henson impression.
Iconic
Movie will never be this high effort again 😂
movie making at its best
Yes, that is Brian Henson.
Damn man,
If I had been one of these hands people I would have suggested to all of the other hands people that at some time during the ACTUAL filming process (where that piece of film would be part of the movie) that we tickle this girl all over her body incessantly while we're holding her.
Like when she says "I guess I'll go down" everybody with the hands just starts laughing SHE CHOSE DOWN.......and starts tickling her incessantly.
This is bonkers
I guess she caught all those HANDS.
Wow!
the fireys there was call the fireys and they was my favorite part of the whole movie with there song
If could buy those hands I would
1:44, guy/woman in the middle looks like Harry Potter.
That's Karen Prell! She performed Red Fraggle and many others.
if i had a nickle for every-time i said shaft of hands
this later is referenced in Age of Resistance
0:25 0:28 0:35 0:38
Wow! A lot of Behind the Scene works back then were so fun!! Too bad CGI took over which is BORING! I also remember the Nightmare on Elm Street Behind the scenes. Wow! Take a look at the videos on UA-cam later. They're all great! A lot of old movies were great
inside the labyrinth, narrated by kermit the frog on one of his more sober, calmed days.
Terry Jones!!!!!
Oobi's great-grandparents!
If this movie was made sometime around now I don't think I'd like it as much.
That’s alot of hands 👐🤲🤚🖐️🖖
2 people got dropped down The Shaft Of Hands.
@PatrickRsGhost While I agree that Henson was a revolutionary in his field, I'm a little thrown by the fact that you don't care what people say. Has there been a debate as to whether or not Jim Henson was a genius that I've not heard? Cause I'm pretty sure that there's a solid consensus on the matter.
genius..!
The last face always scared me :P but i wouldve chosen up haha
Why did you have to leave us Jim Henson :(
2:52 XD Face
