Indeed. It is!!!

once as a small child i found a VHS of labyrinth at my grandparents house and watched it with my uncles. i became. OBSESSED. so obsessed that my parents got a second copy for our own house. I would watch it over and over all the way through even the "how its made" bit at the end of tape. various quips and quotes became inside jokes amongst my family. i made a friend in highschool when they caught on to the reference i made to the movie. i, too, have the phrase "its only forever, its not long at all" living rent free in my mind.

What a wonderful way to make make friends! ❤ "Labyrinth" has been my favourite film as a child... and later, David Bowie probably became the most important part of the soundtrack of my life!

I first watched Labyrinth when I was 6, my aunt showed me the movie and I fell head over heels for Jareth. I didn't know he was a real, iconic person named David Bowie so I just called him "Goblin King". The movie crossed my mind and I decided to watch it again as a teenager, and again I fell head over heels. This time I found out David was a singer, but my taste in music was not as open and wide as it is now, so I didn't listen to his stuff. Here I am now, having watched it again with a bunch of friends (who are all crushing on Jareth btw), obsessed with Jareth, Bowie, his music, his characters, his style, all of it. He's so amazing I can't believe I'm barely realizing now, I'm so happy he gave us this iconic piece of history 😭

David Bowie was such a fearless trailblazer. I remember he was also one of the first artists to lend himself to video games. He was also one of the first to dive directly into the internet when it was new. The man knew how to think long term. Brilliant.

Tangentially, on the topic of growing up, Toby (the child of the Frouds, the artists who did the design work, who met while working on the Dark Crystal), got into puppetry and fx and has been working in the industry as an adult, having worked on most of the Laika films, Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and the upcoming Del Toro film, Pinocchio. Turns out you really can be an adult without giving up the magic. :)

I remember when I first discovered this movie. I was (and still am) a big Marilyn Manson fan, and when I started watching interviews for his new album, Mechanical Animals, I heard the name "David Bowie" being meantioned a lot. So I googled him and my phone started recommending videos and songs of his. At first I didn't like his music, but as time went on, I found myself listening to Bowie more and more. Eventually, my phone started recommending clips of The Labyrinth. Then, one night, after a Willy Wonka movie marathon with my sister that ended around 3 am, I grogilly told her about this weird movie I heard of about Bowie and a maze. Without taking in consideration what time it was, we put The Labyrinth on and were blown away. We loved it so much that we rewatched it a few days later, along with the behind the scenes video. I even bought a Labyrinth poster and hung it on my wall, which my mother later commented on it and revealed that she was a big Labyrinth fan too! It's such a great movie, and I'm so glad I discovered it!

Ever since I watched this movie on a roadtrip as a kid I've been in love with it!

I LOVE David Bowie. I'm a fan of Labyrinth but I hadn't thought of the themes too much before. Labyrinth definitely stands out as a gem, not just from Bowie's 80's era, but from his whole career. I do believe you're right though about the generational gap, so it seems to get overlooked. Great video!!

Your points are correct. I was in high school when I saw Labyrinth in theatre and it was my first exposure to the voice, presence, and handsome face of David Bowie as Jareth, the Goblin King. I Loved It! I went looking for his other songs after. My favourite song from the Labyrinth soundtrack wasn't Magic Dance, it was the heartbreaking, Within You.

My mom and I watch The Labyrinth every now and then. There's a game store in town with 3 storefronts where one of them is a record store. They have a record of the soundtrack there and I'm trying really hard to send a copy to her.

The peach is indicative of the fact that you can't eat anything in the Fae realm or there will be consequences.

Every time we went back to that store, I'd beg to be able to rent that and something else (previously had been only allowed to rent one at a time).

I think we have come to a conclusion about a lot of misinterpretation and exclamations of things 'not making sense', 'not being about anything' or it simply being 'incomprehensible'. It's pretty straight forward actually. People like Siskel and Ebert didn't pay attention because they didn't actually care enough. It happens all the time - we're not invested enough and suddenly we're not putting enough effort in to engage with a piece of media. It's just then easy to blame the movie or video game for it I suppose.

I found this while looking up "transparency on illustrator" but I pressed enter too early. I saw labyrinth and bowie and I said "... my assignment can wait a little while". I can't rewatch movies because they just make me bored and I just need to walk away but Labyrinth is one of the very very few that I can rewatch day after day. I grew up watching this in my dad's house and we would jam out. Now, I'm college and still load it up from time to time lol!!

Such a great and thoughtful analysis, there’s so much mythologising around David Bowie that most of the stuff that he did that wasn’t highly regarded back then is swept under the carpet- it is a shame that his contributions to Labyrinth is not seen with a much positive light! There’s also another oddity in his catalogue that is completely forgotten, and that’s his score to the David Cage (urgh) video game Omikron- but that score is usually tied together to his album Hours even if it doesn’t include all the songs he did for that video game!

Thank you for all of the work and time that you had given this project. I enjoyed watching this video very much. I would, however, like to add a couple of insights into two of the characterizations in the movie. For example, the so called junk lady, Agnes. Sarah is not only carrying the physical stuff that she is hanging onto but also all of her mental and emotional issues. The pain and fear of growing up, of no longer being the baby and only child but also she is in competition with her baby brother for the affection of her dad, she is scared of being abandoned by her dad just like she was abandoned by her mother. The second thing that most people do not understand about the scene in which David sheds his earthly shell to return to the underground. He is in pain and wants to return to the Gobins and only way to do that he needs to let go of his above ground shell.

I love your commentary so much! I've Loved this movie for so long and considered it metaphorical and mythological, but you made puzzle pieces fall into place for me I just thank you so much!

@@Transparencyboo still the movie as a child from 2001 around 5 or 7 years old scared me. I going to see the movie again soon and see how it is now for me. I mean it can be one of the movies that got me Into dark fantasie. Oooh Nice use of T BSkyens voice in the video. He does great work to.

@@caromatla5597 I think a lot of these old fantasy movies could be a bit scary for kids, so in a sense they are probably for a bit of an older audience. Possibly earlier teens at the lowest. They are just very creative and present the viewers with a lot of strange and unnerving visuals at times, especially for kids. Oh, and yeah, TB is a blessing to us all!

the ending gig 💜
