Jim Henson's The Labyrinth Novelization: The Novelization

Product Information

His final confrontation with Sarah tells her that he would "much rather have a Queen" than "a little goblin prince". He told Maria that their son will be placed in an orphanage, so she won’t be able to use him to bring scandal on the family name, but instead offered the baby to the Goblins to rule in his stead. In 2018, the two were compiled as Labyrinth: Shortcuts, which also included two new stories, [138] and another three-story collection was released as Labyrinth: Under the Spell.

Lind-Jahn liked the comic's integration of visual motifs from the film, such as owls and crystal bubbles, "used to emphasize the connections between Sarah’s story and Maria’s story". A range of merchandise was produced to accompany the film's release, including plush toys of Sir Didymus and Ludo, a board game, a computer game, and multiple jigsaw puzzles. Brian Henson remembered his father Jim Henson as being aware that Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal both had cult followings by the time of his death in 1990, saying that "he was able to see all that and know that it was appreciated". The script itself was terribly amusing without being vicious or spiteful or bloody, and it had a lot more heart in it than many other special effects movies, so I was pretty hooked from the beginning.While there was an actor named Shari Weiser inside the actual Hoggle suit, his face was made up of 18 motors and took four people to operate. Watching Sarah's progress from the castle at the Labyrinth's centre, Goblin King Jareth tells Toby a story. On the same journey, Froud "pictured a baby surrounded by goblins" and this strong visual image, along with Froud's insight that goblins traditionally steal babies, provided the basis for the film's plot. Edsall wrote that Bayliss' "marriage of the elaborate world of the goblins with that of Victorian Venice is truly impressive" as well as praising Dan Jackson's colours as "strong in both their vibrancy and in the way he plays with lighting sources in a few scenes throughout".

She also has a maze game that resembles a labyrinth, and a musical figurine that looks exactly like Sarah in her giant ball gown. Edsall also observed parallels between Albert and Maria's dynamic and that of the film's two leads, writing that the characters' interactions are marked by "Albert being challenged by a strong-willed woman and the extent of his power over her being tested, as the movie takes to a greater length between Jareth and Sarah. She begged the Owl King, who relented and struck a deal: she has 13 hours to solve the Labyrinth until her baby son becomes one of them forever. May's changes "humanised the characters" and pleased Henson to the extent that they were incorporated into the film's shooting script.

Bowie said that, "I had some initial problems working with Hoggle and the rest, because, for one thing, what they say doesn't come from their mouths, but from the side of the set or from behind you. Have goblins always been there, waiting in the corners, holding their breath, or sleeping until we say the magic words? Even watching the behind-the-scenes making-of footage from "Inside the Labyrinth" gives you the heebie-jeebies. In a largely critical review, Hal Lipper found that, "Bowie forgoes acting, preferring to prance around his lair while staring solemnly into the camera. Labyrinth: Coronation is a 12-issue comic book limited series based on Jim Henson's 1986 fantasy film Labyrinth.
