Labyrinth - 40th Anniversary

This classic 1986 musical fantasy film, directed by Jim Henson and written by Monty Python's Terry Jones, is based on a story conceived by Henson and Dennis Lee and stars Jennifer Connelly as teenager Sarah and David Bowie as Jareth, the Goblin King.

Labyrinth started as a collaboration between Henson and Brian Froud following their previous collaboration The Dark Crystal (1982). Jones of Monty Python wrote the first draft of the film's script early in 1984, drawing on Froud's sketches for inspiration. The screenplay underwent several revisions by Laura Phillips, Lucas, Lee, and Elaine May—although Jones received the film's sole screenwriting credit. It was shot from April to September 1985 on location in Upper Nyack, Piermont, and Haverstraw, New York, and at Elstree Studios and West Wycombe Park in the United Kingdom. The film's fantastical creatures were designed by Froud and created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
