    okay you’ve all been going crazy about this movie for decades now and still no one ever told me about the solid 20-minute run of audible toots from prosthetic buttholes at the stinky fart swamp

    David Bowie tossing toddlers while singing the magic of dance with a goblin puppet choir is one of life's great pleasures.

    A prime example why practical is almost always better than CG. The set pieces in this film are incredible.

    Goblin King: "I ask for so little. Just let me rule you, and you can have everything you want. Just fear me, love me, do as I say - and I will be your slave." Me: 👀 👀 👀

    This is a great movie. I loved it as a child and I used to want to be Sarah LOL. Especially that scene with her in the pretty dress at that freaky looking party. Watching the movie as an adult though, it was a little slow at times. Great movie, and David Bowie is great in this.

    I saw 'Jim Henson', and I knew I was in for a nightmare-fuelled ride. The man made puppetry look organic, and if they do remake this, they better hire his puppet company. Near enough every shot looks dreamlike, and the story and characters are extremely horrifying yet wholesome. The only real…

    I LOVE THIS MOVIE, amazing music and such a fever dream decade movie that when I was younger I had believed that I dreamt up. Amazing puppeteer work and practical effects and a fun comedic adventure to go on late at night getting lost with Sarah in the Labyrinth

Great energy and creativity went into the construction, production and direction of this movie, but it doesn't have a story that does justice to the production.
