Labyrinth

Where everything seems possible and nothing is what it seems.

“In 9 hours and 23 minutes… You’ll be mine.”

We are tipping our hat to the late, great, David Bowie (on his birthday!)with a screening of the puppet-filled fantasy fable LABYRINTH. Kids pricing is in effect for this one, so we invite everyone to come out and “dance, dance, dance a magic dance” in his honour!

Jim Henson‘s wildly imaginative and highly entertaining LABRYRINTH is an all-time audience favourite – and one of our most regularly requested titles! This totally awesome 80’s fantasy adventure features David Bowie making all kinds of music, magic and mischief as a Goblin King who kidnaps a baby while tormenting a young Jennifer Connelly.

Wear your dancing pants… Audience costumes very welcome and encouraged!

“A real masterpiece of puppetry and special effects, an absolutely gorgeous children’s fantasy movie.” (Chicago Tribune)

LABYRINTH (Jim Henson, 1986 / 101 mins / 14A) | Fifteen-year-old Sarah resents her baby brother Toby and secretly wishes that he will just disappear. Her wish comes true when goblins kidnap the boy. Feeling responsible and guilty about his abduction, she sets forth to retrieve him, and finds herself on the adventure of a lifetime. To rescue her brother, she must sneak into the castle of the Goblin King, which is in the center of a fantastical labyrinth. But, the task is easier said than done, for the maze is filled with strange creatures and mind-bending puzzles, and nothing is really as it seems.

When teen Sarah is forced to babysit Toby, her baby stepbrother, she summons Jareth the Goblin King to take him away. When he is actually kidnapped, Sarah is given just thirteen hours to solve a labyrinth and rescue him.
