Not only is Labyrinth one of my favourite childhood films, but I also have a very personal connection to it. After my dad's cousin's passing in 2012, I inherited the necklace worn by David Bowie in Labyrinth. It turns out that my dad's cousin (who I loved very much) worked on the film and hit it off with Bowie, who gifted him the necklace. Everytime I see people express appreciation for the worm, or the old man with the bird on his head, it warms my heart because that's what my dad's cousin worked on.

What an amazing thing to read. I have loved that little worm ever since I first watched Labyrinth as a child and in my 40s I still think he's the sweetest creature ever. Hold on to the necklace and never give it to anyone else ❤

Wow you are SO lucky! Worn by the legend David Bowie himself 👨🏻🎤😍 Am a huge fan, and actually have one of Ludo’s horns, as my dad was a model maker and had worked on lots of things and made connections. Labyrinth reminds me of when I was a teenager- how I wished I was Sarah! Now my Grandchildren watch it ❤️ I live in London and didn’t realise the bridge scene was filmed here! I will HAVE to find it now! 😍

Make a youtube video about your dad's cousin and show us the necklace! Please.
Labyrinth, Legend, and The Neverending Story were my childhood trifecta. Man, to be a kid curled up on the sofa watching them was just magic.

This was a time when they weren't relying on CGI. It shows in the pride these people took to make an enduring movie.
Labyrinth will always be one of my favourite 80’s movies. The puppetry, Jennifer Connelly, David Bowie! Can’t get any better.
The imagery in 80s films can never be matched. They stick with you forever. Such a magical time. Great video guys.
Labyrinth is a classic. If you're a 70s or 80s baby you got into this film when it came out. It was a great time in cinema.

I was born the day it came out! I was obsessed with it growing up. My dad had recorded it off the TV on vhs, so I'd watch it on repeat ❤❤
OMG 😮 This is my absolute all-time favorite film because it has EVERYTHING in it: light horror, fantasy, handmade effects, best atmosphere, humor, love, wonderful friends, incredibly great ideas and last but not least a great score and great songs by the great David Bowie. The ending of the film is one of the best I've ever seen and the characters are just awesome, especially Sir Dydimus. I remember that as a teenager, after the film, I borrowed the soundtrack as an LP from the school library bus, copied it onto a MC tape and listened to it over and over again on my Walkman while I rode my BMX bike around the area. I saw the movie first on Betamax Video, later on VHS, then I owned 2 DVD Versions and now 2 BluRay Versions. For all these reasons, this film is and remains my No. 1 and after that come films like Jaws 1+2, Highlander, The Crow, A Nightmare On Elm Street 1+3, Trick'r'Treat, Fright Night 1+2, Evil Dead 2, Braindead ('Dead Alive' in America), The Blob (1988), Bill & Ted 1-3 and so on. So thank you for this wonderful post 🙏 Maybe I should think about traveling to there, too, because it's not soooo far away from Köln 😁

A child hood dream come true! Labyrinth is a classic to remember and seeing Jessica run across the bridge multiple times made me smile. Thank you Grimm's that was an amazing adventure!!
One of David Bowies best movie. RIP Sir David Bowie, we miss you:))
A fun although brief adventure. I was fortunate enough to have seen Bowie in concert back in the 80's on the Serious Moonlight Tour. RIP legend, musical genius, one of my all-time favorites.
I think you two should be Jareth and Sarah for Halloween this year. I grew up with this film and I have nothing but happy memories of it. I think if I had to pick a favorite scene, it'd be the ballroom fantasy/"As The World Falls Down". Jim Henson was a wonderful human being, as well as a great talent. I wish he knew how much love there is for this film (and The Dark Crystal).
I cant believe that starting was filmed in the UK, I can't look back on my childhood the same way. This changes everything.
This and Never Ending Story are both my favorite movies of all time. Such great memories ❤

I was born May 6 1976 so I was 10 in 1986 when this movie came out in theaters. It at first didn't do well with mix review, but over times it becomes a cult classic. Thanks Mike for sharing this. Rest in peace 🕊️ David Bowie.
This movie’s soundtrack is in my playlist ;) “Goblin King Goblin King wherever you may be, come and take this child far away from me” Who doesn’t love this movie? ♥️🦉

Still watch it probably once a year since it came out. Damn what an experience as a kid.
I clicked on this notification so fast! Labyrinth is one of my favorite movies that still stick with me even to this day from my childhood. That, Dark Crystal and Never-Ending Story. Yes, I'm always going to be a Jim Henson/Henson Studios fan. Labyrinth had some amazing music and Sarah's dress from the masquerade scene is still something I'd love to eventally make just to say I did it. To this day, I still say "Ello" to people too. That little worm is amazing. I had the fortunate joy of seeing my favorite character from the film, Sir Didymus, in person for the puppet at the puppetry museum in Atlanta when we went for the Dark Crystal exhibit and I had no clue they also would have some Labyrinth stuff there. I fan girled so hard at that and took so many pictures and video of him. It was in fantastic conditon still and will forever be something I cherish. Also, rest well David Bowie. Gone, but never forgotten. ❤❤❤
My jaw was on the floor through this entire video--just amazing. Thank you for sending me back in time!
Thank you for visiting this amazing location, Labyrinth is my childhood and cannot get enough of it. It also shows how beautiful England is! Absolutely stunning.
I was born in '86, so the year Labyrinth came out. I eventually watched it in the early 90s on VHS and it became one of my favorite films as a kid. I bugged my parents to buy the tape and they did. I must've worn it out.

I'd watch the labyrinth on repeat on VHS I was so obsessed with that movie. I would wear out the VHS tape then somehow return it and rent it out again. There's so much to love about that movie.
Great pick of locations! Labyrinth is such a legendary movie. The songs were playing. I'm my mind when I was watching this. Today's youth need more fun movies like this one.
My Daughter loved this when it came out, She was 5 years old. Great Kiddie Movie!
I’ve been obsessed with Labyrinth since I saw it in the cinema when I was 12 years old
Labyrinth is my all time favourite childhood movie 😍🙌🏻 I can watch it literally everyday and still love it ! Jim Henson & David Bowie are heroes of mine , loved this vlog guys , really dear to my heart 🤎🔮🦉
Heckons yes! Can’t wait to give this a watch. One of my childhood favorites! Thanks for sharing!
I enjoy your content .. I can’t believe you was in Wycombe ! It’s 10 mins from where I live .. and to learn this was the filming location is just amazing ! Thankyou .. keep up the great videos 🙂👍👍👍👍
I grew up in West Wycombe, the monuments were fake I never saw them there growing up. I love the Labyrinth I never get tired of watching it and David Bowie no one could replace him. I heard talk about a remake you can't remake this film the same as Rocky horror should never be messed with
@kaysmith8992

I agree never a remake, I think the best thing they could ever attempt to do would be vague reference/crossover to the Labyrinth world in a separate fantasy, like for example a new Dark Crystal series where we see Skeksis inventing Eternal Stench and sending it as a gift to other planets, or Aughra's planetarium including a Labyrinth model.
Labyrinth, one of my favourite films ever, glad to see Jessica having fun in the park. Jim Henson was a legend.
😮 you have to mention my favorite movie that came out the year I was born!!! ❤ love it!!! Definitely love it!! David Bowie will always be remembered for this movie.
You two are the sweetest couple to watch! You're so supportive of eachother 💕
I literally just watched this, yet again for the billionth time, on Peacock. Mr. Henson was killing it in the 80's. This was just 4 years after The Dark Crystal...

Same, I always saw Labyrinth as the more family-friendly version of Dark Crystal. If Dark Crystal had been less negatively reviewed for being too scary at the time, I wonder if Jim Henson might have dared to make Labyrinth a bit darker.
The guys throwing their heads really f’d me up as a kid but I love the song they sing. ❤️🔥
This is still not only one of my favorite childhood movies but is still one of my favorites ❤
I absolutely adore the film, Labyrinth. I am also a David Bowie fan. I love Jim Henson films. To me, Labyrinth is magical. It's a timeless classic that can be enjoyed by all ages. :)
I just saw that movie last year and David Bowie was perfect as the Goblin King. I can't imagine no one else playing that role. I loved that scene that he's singing and dancing with the baby, that song is amazing. Glad you got this video together, It was well worth it you two.
Thank you for this video! This was so well-made and fun to watch. I love how you interpose the current shots with the exact scenes in the movie. Your enthusiasm for what you do is infectious. I'm looking forward to watching your other videos!
I'm a gen z and I adore this movie! Jim Henson was amazing with this concept
Worth every second of the wait and a great start to the GLC UK TOUR. Thanks for dragging us across the Atlantic. Grimm for Life! 👻
Such a sweet and wholesome video. Best film ever - Bowie, Jim Henson, George Lucas, Terry Jones - what a team. Nothing beats practical sets and animatronics
One thing i really love: the soundtrack you play over her running in the rain changes the atmosphere completely... much as I love 'Underground' this other one (i think it's 'Into the Labyrinth'?) makes the scene way more sinister and a taste of what's to come. Thank you so much for the dedication to travel to both locations. I've seen photos before but on video is something else.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing this! I used to dream about running through that park like Sarah, confronting the Goblin King! Y'all out there making my dreams come true!!
David bowie loved Transylvania...
Omg just watched this twice in two diffrent countries and am amazed you guys did this vid!!!
My daughter loves this film. It's now generational ❤
Never clicked so fast ,perfection as always ,thanks guys 👍💪😉
This movie is a national treasure for anyone of any age. Terrific job guys in bringing the magic back and taking us back in time to this beloved movie.
This is one of my favorite movies as a child still is growing up. I love this so much ❤
Thankyou for the tour. An iconic and timeless film!
So, very, very cool to see this! Thank you both so much! Yes, Labyrinth is definitely one of my FAVORITE movies! A very beautiful and creative movie. I miss David Bowie! Oh, my heart!
Oh my gosh, I have memorized nearly this entire movie. I’ve watched it so many times. So happy you guys made this !
First off beautiful video. Thx for sharing. And it’s also one of my favorites. I even named my 2nd son Toby and when he was born he wore a red and white striped onesie too. All the nurses loved it. lol. Also Wendy and Brian froud had their son Toby in the movie as the baby. They also worked on dark crystal. Another favorite movie.
My favorite movie! 💜 love and appreciate the filming/travel commitment for the best fan video😍
Thank you so much for doing this video. First because Labyrinth is one of my favorite movies and second because I also adore Jim Henson‘s work, but even more so because you visited Nyack, New York which is very close to my hometown. I have been living abroad for some time now and it always does my soul good to see others also enjoying their time there! Thanks for the virtual visit 🤗It’s a lovely place! So much history and timeless architecture!!
One of my favorite films of all time. 👏 👏 Am i not the only one who wanted to be Sara, dancing at that masquerade with the Goblin King aka David Bowie? :)
My little Boy is Called Toby after the baby in the Movie🎬 . my Favourite Movie Rip David Bowie😢 love his Songs🎵
I love the Labyrinth. It's one of my all-time favorite movies.❤
Jim Henson is an unsung master and Labyrinth was a master piece. Another great video. I’m not a nostalgic person for my childhood but a lot of the movies sets you visit where definitely part of my childhood. Looking forward to the next one.
You both are my favorites. Consistently fabulous work and the best commentary. Thank you 🥰
What a beautiful first location in particular. I just found out the location was also used for a film adaptation of a book written in my home town. My sister is 14 years older than me, so I got the relationship straight away. I was little older than Toby when it came out and I saw it for the first time. This film is absolute magic. It is a great influence on my gothic interest and art to this day.
One of my favorite movies💖💖💖🥰🥰 this is an amazing treat! Thank you for showing this!!
Very cool. Absolutely love this movie. It was my ultimate childhood movie growing up.
Great job. Glad to see Jessica have such fun.
I'm a 2000s baby but luckily my parents brought this into my life as a kid and it has since been my all time favourite movie. Parents passed down great taste if i do say so myself haha
Best movie ever I'm 42 now , so I was the perfect age to watch it when it came out ...I know the whole movie word for word , I still watch it with my 10 year old daughter and can't wait to show the grandkids ...❤❤❤❤❤ absolutely love all of it 😊😊
This was great! I absolutely adore this film 😍 That bridge is so charming and gorgeous. It sounds silly but I love that the grass continues up over the bridge 😁 Jessica was so cute running over the bridge! I'm surprised this video doesn't have way more views. Thanks for another brilliant video guys 🖤💚
I love this movie watched it when my kids were young. You guys rock❤ Great video!
I’ve seen this film so many times! A wonderful film!
DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT ! THANKS GUYS ! ONE OF MY FAVORITES ! 😍
Yesss my all time favourite movie since I was little. Awsome video guys 😀
I was born in 1971. I fell in love with Jennifer Connelly when I aw this film. Not even Bowie's hilarious spray-on pants could distract me from Jennifer.
What a classic excellent film brings back happy memories 😊
One of my favorite movies! What a great soundtrack too!
Thanks for sharing. I loved the film ever since I was a kid, and recently bought it on 4K. It’s so beautiful. I now have to visit that bridge! I’m only the other side of London, it’s a couple of hours away. I had no idea.
I’ve not watched much of your videos, but my husband loves them. He sent this to me earlier because Labyrinth has been one of my favorite movies since I was 4. I’m 34 now & in a Labyrinth fan club facebook group! 😊 I thought this was SO cool. I’ll have to check out more of your content. Thanks for filming this! ❤
Incredible...Love Jim Henson so Much So awesome guys🎃
i loved this film as a kid and even now im 40 its good to watch and now my kids watch it too. i love your vids keep them coming.

Thank you. I love the movie. It was wonderful to relive it.
I am watching again this video, and it is so much fun to see Jessica reruns on the bridge 😄 Your narration is always fantastic Michael. You make us feel like we are there! Loved it, especially watching on the big screen. More ads for you 👍

Being a Bowie fan, of course Labyrinth is one of my all time favorite moves. I'm so jealous...you two get to go to all the cool places lol Really fun video.
Lovely video! RIP David Bowie. Swan swan hummingbird hurrah…
I just always kind of assumed it was all filmed on a sound stage. It's really cool to think that there are a few actual filming locations that still exist today, mostly unchanged by time. One of my favorite movies growing up.
This is my favourite childhood film of all time and I didn't know that part of it was filmed in the uk. A great video 😀
@grimmlifecollective Welcome back to the UK you two! We just moved to the UK from Florida and absolutely LOVE it here! There is definitely something magical about this place! Labyrinth is one of my childhood favourites so it was great to see these locations in your video! Hope to see you around more! Cheers!
One of my favourite films of all time. Remember watching this at the cinema and many many times since. Wonderful to see the locations
Love it! First movie I watched alone at the theatre!
Labyrinth is my go-to movie when I'm feeling down and need something to watch that I know will take my mind off things AND leave me with a warm heart. I had no idea the opening scenes were filmed in England and now a visit to that park is definitely on my bucket list (I'm English, if that wasn't obvious...!) I'm glad you had such fun running over the bridge and it's cool to see it from other angles and see that it's actually grassy ON the bridge itself, and isn't bare stone. Thank you!
Absolutely bloody love this movie it’s a huge part of my childhood in the uk ❤
I used to love this movie when I was really young
I absolutely love this movie growing up, Jennifer was my first crush plus I love Jim Henson and his creature workshop since the Tale of the bunny picnic, then Bowie and the soundtrack ❤ I grew up with Fraggle Rock and the Muppet movies Dark Crystal etc but there's something about Labyrinth, so special. It's so lovely to see these filming locations and your passion for the movie
Loved this movie when I was growing up. I’m a 90’s baby. So cool you travelled to the UK and NY for this!
