When Jim Henson and George Lucas worked together, they produced plenty of wonderful content, but fans didn’t always appreciate their work at the time. «Labyrinth» is one such film, and it’s truly surprising it didn’t do well. The film follows Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) as she fights to rescue her baby brother from the Goblin King, Jareth (David Bowie), who holds him in his castle at the center of an otherworldly Labyrinth.
Bowie provided much of the film’s music and dominated every scene he was in. Henson’s work shines through the many adorable and frightening puppets appearing in nearly every scene. It’s a true gothic fairy tale adventure film, and it’s magical. Sadly, it bombed. «Labyrinth» cost $25 million to make, and audiences avoided it, preferring to see «Top Gun,» «Back to School,» or any of the other better-performing films released in June 1986.
Despite tons of star power behind it, the film only took in $14.2 million at the global box office. «Labyrinth» became a hit via the home video market, and these days, fans adore it as a cult classic decades after its release. «Labyrinth» has expanded into a franchise consisting of comics, board games, books, and more.
