WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW
DESCRIPTION:
Journey into the fantastical
world of Labyrinth, starring David Bowie and a cast of incredible
creatures create by Jim Henson and produced by the Master of Myth George
Lucas.
Frustrated with baby-sitting in yet
another weekend night, Sarah - a teenager with an active imagination -
summons the Goblins from her favorite book, Labyrinth, to taker
her baby step-brother away. When little Toby actually disappears, Sarah
must follow him into the world of the fairy tale to rescue him from the
wicked Goblin King (Bowie)!
Guarding his castle is The Labyrinth
itself - a twisted maze of deception, populated with outrageous character
and unknown dangers. To get through it in time to save Toby, Sarah will
have to outwit the King by befriending the very Goblins who protect him,
in hopes that their loyalty isn't just another illusion in a place where
nothing is as it seems!

King, before going with David Bowie, Michael Jackson and Sting were heavily
considered for the role.

The glass ball tricks were done without any special effects.
While this was not done by David Bowie himself they were done by renowned
juggler Michael Moschen without the aid of strings or wires. In the scenes
where you can see Bowie's face this was accomplished by having the juggler
stick his arms out from behind Bowie and do the juggling blind.
-
The baby laughs and gurgles in the song Magic Dance,
were made by David Bowie himself.
