Labyrinth
Transcript: Ivy Hughes Labyrinth started at number eight in the U.S. box office charts with $3.5 million. It placed behind some other great 80's movies, one being Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The next weekend, the film dropped to number 13 in the charts, only earning $1.8 million. By the end of it's run in the U.S cinemas, the film had earned $12,729,917, just reaching over half of its $25 million budget. Labyrinth was a single movie, therefore no sequels. Labyrinth is a British-American musical adventure fantasy film, created in 1986. Fun Fact: Fun Fact: Sarah's little brother, Toby, is actually Brian Froud's, (one of the producer's) legitimate son, Toby Froud. Labyrinth was nominated for the BAFTA Film Award, (best special affects category), the Saturn Award, and the Hugo award, all in 1987, only one year after the film was released. Unfortunately, these movie awards were all granted to other nominees. Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson were put into consideration by Jim Henson for playing the part of the Goblin King, also known as, David Bowie's character. Labyrinth There were enthusiastic and positive reviews of the movie; The New York Times announces, "Labyrinth, a fabulous film about a young girl's journey into womanhood that uses futuristic technology to illuminate a mythic-style tale, is in many ways a remarkable achievement." They also gave Labyrinth a 90% rating. Others, such as the San Francisco Chronicle, disagree, rating the film at the an astonishing 50%, claiming, "I think mature pre-teens along with immature teens might relate to this overbearing showcase of bizarre rubber duckies. Adults are bound to find it a major yawn, and young children are likely to be scared out of their wits." After dealing with her obnoxious baby brother, Toby, the main character, Sarah, wishes goblins would come take him away, and to her surprise, they do as she wished. She realized what she had done was a mistake, and wished Toby back, only for the Goblin King to appear with an ultimatum. Sarah has to solve the Goblin King's Labyrinth and make it to his castle within thirteen hours, and if she doesn't make it in time, Sarah will never see Toby again, for he will be transformed into a goblin forever. She has no choice but to go along with these circumstances, seeing she would lose her brother if she went against them. Her journey through the Labyrinth is a long, perilous adventure, the maze being filled with mind-bending puzzles, monster-like characters, suspenseful situations, and nothing is really as it seems.
