Henson, Jim (December 1983). "12/-/1983 – 'End of December – Dennis Lee hands in "Novella" of Labyrinth' ". Jim Henson's Red Book. Archived from the original on 23 December 2015 . Retrieved 5 January 2020. Despite underperforming at the U.S. box office upon initial release, Labyrinth was later a success on home video and television broadcasts, becoming a cult film. [18] [151] The film's lasting popularity and cult status have been attributed in large part to Sarah's character arc [28] [152] and Connelly's performance. [149] [153] Emma Islip of Comic Book Resources wrote in 2020, "To this day, viewers are invested in [Sarah's] trial and error coming of age story, personality, and place in the imaginative world. [Connelly's] acting abilities and charisma are what makes Labyrinth such a triumphant feat." [154] The same publication further expounded the importance of Connelly's role in an article titled "Labyrinth Wouldn't Be a Classic Without Jennifer Connelly". [155] Brian Froud attributes the film's longevity to generations of children responding to Sarah's "emotional journey". [156] Uproxx's Alyssa Fikse reflected that many viewers see themselves in Sarah as she "reflect[s] that mix of fear and potential" in "standing on the brink of growing up [...] one of the scariest times in everyone's life". [157] Ed Power of The Telegraph attributed Labyrinth's longevity to its being "a rare ... movie that takes seriously the experience of being a young woman finding her way in the world." [158] IGN's Kayleigh Donaldson agreed with this assessment, and wrote, "The aesthetics of the film hypnotize but it’s Sarah’s victory over Jareth that we love so much." [159] And, of course, our costumes have caught the eye of major licensors, too, which is why we're able to team up with studios to make officially licensed costumes for your favorite characters. So, yup, you better believe that these Labyrinth Costumes are officially licensed by The Jim Henson Company. We want to make sure you get to get to be the characters you want to be, so when it comes to 80s classics like Labyrinth, we're proud to bring these to the market!

Yes, that’s time-consuming, and yes, the margin of error is high, and yes, this requires top-notch hand-sewing skills to be able to sew invisibly, and yes, this requires being extremely flexible and being willing to work with unexpected behaviors in lace. This is why it’s a couture method and so often skipped in favor of visible seams and calling it part of the design. There’s nothing wrong with visible seams when they’re genuinely desired (and sometimes they are, especially for bodices we want to have the visual appeal of a corset), but for when a magical fit with lace is desired, enter lace-shaping!

Early concept paintings by Brian Froud produced to provide inspiration for the look of the film feature a beautiful young woman with long brown hair, and she is the girl who formed the basis for the character. a b c Holste, Tom. (2012). Finding Your Way Through Labyrinth. In Carlen & Graham (2012), pp.119–130The dream world of the Labyrinth created for the film is centered around Sarah, with the influences of the film also being the influences of her mind. [7] Henson stated, "the world that Sarah enters exists in her imagination. The film starts out in her bedroom and you see all the books she's read growing up – The Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, the works of Maurice Sendak. The world she enters shows elements of all these stories that fascinated her as a girl". [9] [10] Additional titles shown briefly in Sarah's room at the start of the film are Through the Looking-Glass, Grimm's Fairy Tales, a book of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, and Walt Disney's Snow White Annual. [4] [25] The goblins that come to take her brother away, as well as Sarah's monologue that she recites to defeat the Goblin King, are from her favourite story, [26] a play called "The Labyrinth" which she rehearses at the beginning of the film. [16] [27] Sarah's experiences in the Labyrinth are also reflective of the objects shown in her room. [e] Many of the characters she encounters bear a resemblance to her toys, including a statuette of the Goblin King. The Labyrinth itself resembles her maze-puzzle board game. [28] [29] The dress Sarah wears in her ballroom dream adorns a miniature doll on her music box, which also plays the same tune as in her dream. [30] One of the obstacles that Jareth sets on Sarah recalls the "Slashing Machine" record on her shelf, and Sarah's final confrontation with the king takes place in a room that resembles her poster of Escher's Relativity.

Now to the bodice. Oh, where to begin with this one. The sleeves. These giant fluff balls are a combination of the pinkish cellophane from the top layer-sandwich of the skirt and the lace used on top of the bottom layer sandwich. They are so perfectly balloon-like that it’s easy to think that there are balloons in them! However, they didn’t use balloons. I’m sorry to burst any dreams of balloons in sleeves. What was done instead was to make a very full and stuffed short sleeve as an inner sleeve, and a big huge puff outer sleeve consisting of the cellophane and lace for the puff, with a fitted lower sleeve (I hope it was lined with cotton, but can’t be sure). When sewn together and to the bodice, the stuffed short sleeve supports the outer sleeve. Believe it or not, this was a common sleeve method using sheer fabric for the outer sleeve during the Romantic era of the 1830’s! Photo 8 Cabin, Chris (27 June 2016). " 'Labyrinth' 30 Years Later: Returning to Jim Henson & David Bowie's Fantasy World". Collider. Archived from the original on 10 June 2019 . Retrieved 8 May 2020. We basically wanted to make Labyrinth about the growing-up process of maturity, working with the idea of a young girl right at that point between girl and woman, shedding her childhood thoughts for adult thoughts. Specifically, I wanted to make the idea of taking responsibility for one's life — which is one of the neat realizations a teenager experiences — a central thought of the film."

Kell, Julia (31 May 2016). "Why I Love Labyrinth". The Odyssey. Archived from the original on 7 September 2021 . Retrieved 7 September 2021. Sarah appears in Labyrinth: Coronation, a 12-issue comic series written by Simon Spurrier and published by Archaia Entertainment between 2018 and 2019. Her character and story arc is the same as that of the film, while the comic concurrently follows the parallel tale of Maria, another young woman who journeys through the Labyrinth to save a loved one, set several hundred years before Sarah. However, Maria ultimately fails to rescue her infant son, Jareth. [189] The Labyrinth that Sarah traverses is very different to Maria's, as in the series the Labyrinth becomes shaped to reflect and challenge each individual who attempts to solve it.
