Sarah meets many strange individuals along the way, all of whom are unique. Many of these characters are delightfully humorous. With quick wits and clever lines they never cease to entertain. Not least is the Goblin King's whose lines oscillate between grave and witty. Bowie also provides the film with a musical soundtrack, which although dated is nonetheless magnificently suited.
Some tracks are quirky and some entirely serious.
The maze is the focus of the film, and similarly it is the films' most endearing quality. However the final scene in the goblin castle is stunning. The room is reminiscent of Escher. Construction on this substantial set must have been literally amazing, especially given the time the film was made. The Labyrinth is not a film to be passed over.
