David Bowie has goblin features in his face, especially when he laughs. He makes a perfect Goblin King.

Every once in a while, I'll turn to my 7 year old sister and say "You remind me of the babe." and she continues and we go throughout the whole thing every time. Lol, she never learns. I'm glad David Bowie got to be a part of her life, at least for a little while.

I did the same to my little brother.

I love how the puppeteers had their puppets in character, even when they're not filming actively.

If this were made today, David would be on a blue screen set surrounded by digital puppeteers and it would be cgi’d to death. There’s something about physical presence that can’t be duplicated by computer

SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST MEANT FOR CERTAIN ROLES. DAVID DIDNT JUST PLAY THE GOBLIN KING, HE IS THE GOBLIN KING.

This is the behind the scenes I was looking for! I loved hearing Bowie's interpretation of Jareth, kind of revealing what Jareth wished he could do or be, and who he really was despite the grand title of a king, which was a big kid. So grateful that many great minds collaborated to make this amazing movie.

Every time I watch this movie it is like opening a window into my heart and letting in the sunshine. It brushes away the cobwebs. It clears the shadows. Thank you for sharing this fascinating behind the scenes.

It was already blessed. That baby's parents worked on both Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. I don't know how he could have grown up to be anything other than a magical creature of some sort. HE'S probably the goblin king now.

I remember when I stumbled upon this when I was 8 or so. Still my favorite movie. Can't believe Bowie died 3 years ago.

David was a genius, and a gracious, humorous and humble man. The best!!!

David Bowie and I have the dame humor. "My friend had a cute baby but no matter how hard I kicked it it wouldn't cry" and he said it so casually that I can't stop laughing

I was eleven years old when this movie came out, and I had the biggest crush on Jareth because of David Bowie, how he sang and acted, and to this day I still love him, now I really miss him as well...like I do Robin Williams and John Ritter, two of my other childhood crushes. I'll never forget them.

I think it really can't be said how much practical effects contribute to an actor's performance and dedication to their role. If Bowie had simply been in front of a green screen this whole time, he probably wouldn't have been as good as he was. He had something physical to act off of, something to work with. Something to help him see himself as Jared the Goblin King.

Can you imagine a scene where half the actors are just told to "Act like goblins"? lol

If I were that baby, I would be like -David Bowie kicked me as baby, I must be blessed- xD

Aww we all miss you David Bowie. Jareth the goblin king rest in your kingdom. Wish I were your queen.

Brian Henson held auditions for background puppeteers for the movie and was aided by a young Kevin Clash. Henson and Clash would hold further auditions for permanent Creature Shop puppeteers in 1986.

子供の頃この映画のデヴィットが初恋でした。 本を開くとき、心の中に、そこにデヴィットがいます。ありがとう日本から❤️

Magic dance is the kind of song to get up and dance along to. Well David Bowie I would have loved to dance with you.

Pinnacle of storytelling and practical effects. True genius

Charles Augins helping with the choreography. He also helped with the choreography of Tongue-Tied on Red Dwarf and the production staff was so impressed with him, he was asked to play Queeg as well. Cheers.

What about Jim Henson?

THIS IS WHY WE LOVE THIS MAN.

The movie was absolutely perfect in it's filming and overall execution. It's one of those that despite that, it barely gets the attention it deserves. Henson and Bowie were also two of those rare breeds of genius whose mere existence changed how what they worked in was done for decades. Jim's legacy, and the workshop itself, are still actively advancing puppetry as well as CGI. They include CGI because Jim's son saw the similarities between a CGI character and a puppet.

This is the most majestic shizz I’ve ever encountered!!!!!!!! Mesmerizing to say the least!!!!!❤

I'd sing this song every Halloween.

this is one of my favorite scenes in Labyrinth. Amazing all the behind the scenes stuff they had to do to make it. Kudos to cast and crew! 😀

He makes me smile 🖤

Love knowing that the dance moves were inspired by black culture!

Still to this day one of my favorite movies and I am 40

This is so fascinating to watch! Im primarily here for Bowie but getting to see the creativity is so cool.

Still in love with this Goblin King ❤

Lamp Shade times change and you need to get used to it instead of whining. Shit is always changing and we are always learning. Things obviously weren't like the 60s in the 80s... of course in 2017 it's not like the 80s. It would be pretty pathetic and sad if we hadn't progressed since then. Grow up and move on instead of crying about how much you wish you could get away with.

Excuse me? I'm not 'whining', I don't need to 'grow up...' I bet you'd be a real laugh in the audience at a live comedy gig. You'd be balling your eyes out and throwing your nappy around every time the comedian says something that *offends* you. THAT'S 'pretty pathetic'.

They should release a version on widescreen Blu-Ray that shows on the right side the behind scenes shot while the movie shot appears on the left in unison.
