But Sarah does find quite a few friends along the way, like simpleton goblin Hoggle (Shari Weiser, Brian Henson), who's in Jareth's pay but is eventually won over to her side, monster Ludo (Ron Mueck, Rob Mills), knightly fox Sir Didymus (Dave Goelz, David Alan Barclay, David Shaughnessy) and his dog Ambrosius, and of course eventually everything ends happily ...<p> <p><b>Labyrinth</b> is, among all other things, great fun, and that's due to three components: Jim Henson's creatures are just awesome, Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie are great enough actors to stand their own against Henson's awesome creatures (which is quite a feat), and the script is just hilarious and really breaths some <b><i><a href="../research/resultserieslinks.shtml?Monty Python">Monty Python</a></i></b> air thanks to writer Terry Jones. And there's so much more to love about the film, really, like its awesome set designs, great practical effects, smooth directorial efforts, songs by David Bowie, and so on and so forth. In a way it's just an awesome movie for the whole family ... which you'll probably enjoy more and more the older you get. Absolutely brilliant! <p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2016"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
