      These aren't Muppets. Just because they were created for a Jim Henson film, doesn't mean that their Muppets! I mean, do you think _this_ is a Muppet? www.deviantart.com/legrande62/art/HANS-MY-HEDGEHOG-COSTUME-MAKEUP-THE-STORYTELLER-590530278 Hmmm?

    You realize how much he actually cares about the kid. Then you notice that despite being the goblin king he's almost entirely human. Meaning that he was taken in by the previous goblin king and raised by him. Meaning that once upon a time he was like toby, but no one came to get him.

      I think it was the lack of a cohesive plot. I mean the concept is fantastic, but it needed something more. For instance some kind of plot device to better connect play that the main character was rehearsing for with her final showdown with the goblin King. Also why is the goblin King so human looking, and lastly A better explanation as to how a story she was telling to her little Brother just off the top of her head winds up becoming true. And I’m all for magical surrealism but it needs to be properly executed so that you’re not obsessing about the details when you’re watching the story unfold.

    My older sister recently had a kid.
    When I was holding him with her nearby I said, "You remind me of the babe".
    My sister: "What babe?"
    Me: "The babe with the power."
    Sister: "What power?"
    Me: "The power of voodoo!"
    Sister: "Who do?
    Me: "You do!"
    Sister: "Do what?"
    Me: "Remind me of the babe."
    It amazed me that she remembered since I didn't think she watched or remembered Labyrinth at all from when we were kids. Then again maybe she remember because of Bowie.

      I was literally just thinking about this because I recorded this on VHS back in the 80's and showed it to my daughter who was born in 85'. She would sit and watch this movie all day long sometimes, if you let her. I used to say this dialogue with her when she was young and now she's pushing 40. She recently came out to visit me and over a cup of coffee we chatted a bit and I said "you remind me of the Babe" and she immediately remembered every single word.

Take a look at this Jim Henson interview from 1982. users.bestweb.net/~foosie/henson.htm As he clearly states, "I have a feeling that the characters are just not Muppets at all. We hesitate to call them puppets even." "instead of puppetry we're trying to go toward a sense of realism - toward a reality of creatures that are actually alive and we're mixing up puppetry and all kinds of other techniques. It's into the same bag as E.T. and Yoda, wherein you're trying to create something that people will actually believe, but it's not so much a symbol of the thing but you're trying to do the thing itself."

I am sooooo glad it got the attention & love it deserved since! :)

    I don't know how intentional it was but I love how one can infer a pretty solid backstory for Jareth from scenes like this. Not only is he out of place physically among the goblins, but also as a person. There he is, sitting on his throne, waiting for time to pass while being surrounded by idiots. He is clearly not from here, obviously stuck. Might as well improvise a number and order the minions to enjoy it. I love this film.

  • @raphiebetts5862
    @raphiebetts5862 3 роки тому +15

    Has anyone ever realised that Jareth wanted to send Sarah to the beginning because he knows she won't give up and she will keep coming back so he gets to see her even more? and because he sends her back, he resets time again so she will stay longer! and this then fits in with the ending where he talks about how generous he has been and he wants her to love him!!!
