On June 26, 1985, Jim and his production team shot the elaborate Labyrinth scene with Jareth (David Bowie) singing "Within You" as Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) tries to reach her brother in a set inspired by the drawings of M.C. Escher. Look behind the scenes at the magic.

That set was total magic and Jim Henson outdid himself truly. If only he could see how much everyone loves this film now. It's a classic no doubt.
You mean Elliot Scott. But yeah, this was Jim's vision. He pictured the whole movie in his head. Everything you see in there is exactly how he saw it in his mind. RIP to a legend.
Bowie in his gown smoking, haha brilliant!
Pencil Heart ikr lol
I love him
I know! I noticed that as well! 🤦♀️❤️🩹
What a brilliant masterpiece! All done without a greenscreen! True talent!
+AT Productions crappy only by today's standards. It was a fairly new effect back then, especially with puppets. But this particular set was completely built for practical effects.
Just Passing Through hk jdon't for I Am the flight
This is one of my favorite scenes in the movie. The song really made it work and showed, to me, how much he grew to love her. It made the story seem a bit more intense and when I watched it again and again it helped me see the movie in a new light. OMG I think this song helped me hit puberty sooner when I was a kid lol. The way I saw him look at her through the movie was just like "OMG I WISH SOMEONE THAT CUTE WOULD LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT!!" Like I said, Puberty hit a bit early for me when I saw this lol.
I still love this movie; probably even more now as an adult.
I was there when they shot this and I still don't know how Jim kept all this straight, lol!
Absolutely brilliant!
One of his many finest directing moments in my opinion :)
I'm so grateful that Jim and his family have left us all with such a legacy of wonderful films and television programs. I only wish he could see just how much an impact he's had and how beloved he is.
Those were the days. Bowie nonchalantly smoking on the set, love it!
Seriously?! 🚬😠🚭
@@hannahburke7328 yep
0:32 well, I guess Jareth likes to smoke sometimes
One of the most incredible scenes in all of movie history. Magical, disorienting, romantic.
Great making of. Some not CGI visualFX are an example of creativity and always are more realistic than computer generated ones.
very interesting information!
imaginium.es The owl in the opening title is a first attempt of CGI. But I prefer the use of dolls/animatronics myself over CGI overload
This set and scene lives in my head rent free. The practical effect of him swinging up and over the edge is so brilliant, and is probably my favorite practical effect of all time!
Bowie is the bomb to this day. sexy self.
Labyrinth is one of my favorite films. I'm sorry Jim didn't get to see what a cult classic it's become.
one of my fav scenes !
Jareth is what you get when you combine an Eldritch Horror into a stalker boyfriend.
I can't not hear kermit.
Hey, Dr. Crusher behind Jim! :D 2:41 Pretty cool gig being the Henson Company choreographer in the 80's.
she made that end awesome!
I loved this scene as a child. Was so awesome how the did this.
0:29 THAT IS A MOOD OF THE HIGHEST ORDER
Very cool!! What an exciting production that must have been to be apart of!!
RIP Jim.
It sucks that now days all of this would be dun in the computer.
It sucks that you misspelled "done".
@@yosefdemby8792 lmfao
Two Jareths... My inner fangirl is squee-ing, but my inner normal fan is saying "I love how they were able to do the effects in this movie"
Holy crap!!!!!!! Two jareths?! Two goblin kings?! *faints*
😑
Movie was a masterpiece.
Brilhant and amazing, i watched this movie in 2021
Love the little moments where you can see Gates M. from Star Trek TNG
clever scene and set. im still confused which way is what on the making of..
1:47 Jim Henson would never ask someone to do something he himself wouldn't do.
This is so nostalgic
What a score getting Kermit the Frog to voice the Behind the Scenes footage. 😄
2:40 Its Dr. Beverly Crusher from ST:TNG! wheee!
Yep. Gates McFadden was the choreographer.
Fun fact: Sting was one of the considerations for the role of Jareth. Another one was Michael Jackson. It was John and Brian Henson who convinced their father that Bowie was the only one for the job.
this is the real great american Jim's ;) Thanks 4ever
R.I.P. Jim Henson
2:33 you can see the hydraulic rod they had to use 😂
did the goblin king just smoke????!!???!!!!!??? .................. 2:52..............lol
GENIUS
Dear to so many
From before Di$ney borked all of Jim Henson's work. I love this movie :)
"Bork"?
I don't think you understand. In 1989, Jim Henson _wanted_ to sell his company to Disney. In fact, the only thing that _wasn't_ for sale was Sesame Street. (Though Disney couldn't have the free use of Kermit. He was too important, and Henson would have full control.)
Flash forward to the present, and Disney only owns the Muppets, as in those that starred in The Muppet Show, and the first three Muppet movies. Meanwhile, the Sesame Street Muppets are owned by Sesame Workshop (formerly known as the Children's Television Workshop). The Jim Henson Company owns everything else: The Creature Shop, The Storyteller, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, and even Fraggle Rock!
David Bowie in a bath robe and smoking..😂😂Sex on legs
😍 Amazing ❤
When they were filming this scene, who should happen to be in London and visit, but Muppet writer Jerry Juhl! Juhl and Henson had written many unrealized projects and movies back in the 1960's. And when Juhl saw the scene, he told Henson how it reminded him that they had put an M.C. Escher scene in one of those projects. Henson didn't remember it at all. So they went back and found the original written proposal. But he _still_ didn't_ remember it!
Juhl once joked, "Jim hardly ever gets the past straight. That's because he's so future oriented." But he also said, in regards to this encounter, "That was so typical of Jim. He always said he didn't have a good memory, but in fact he always hung on to the useful ideas until they were needed."
I Feel Like I'm Watching A Music Video.
How does he walk through her like that?
Clearly magic
@@RGBeanie Special effects, editing, and whatnot.
@@yosefdemby8792 definitely actual magic
What stage at Elstree Studios was this?
We need a sequel!!! Bowie still looks young, especially with Jareth's makeup and if he lost a tiny bit of weight. Pleeaseeee??!?!!? :(:(
+D Meep It can't be done. Jim Henson is not with us anymore, and only he can produce such an awesome movie with so much eye for detail. His son Brian tried, but he just is not as good as his dad.
You thought David was overweight before he passed? . Jeez.
Two David Bowies? And the Fangirls rejoiced.
cool!!
What's that double up to these days
Afther that David Bowie and Rutgher Aouahre,sai , wose that belong now
Is that Mick rohnson
Scotty doesn’t know!
- in all seriousness labyrinth best. Movie. Ever.
Man lucky that wasn’t me - I’d be short a brother... well I think he would of been turned into a goblin, moral to my rant is there’s no way I could’ve said no to jareth, not a chance.
Is it just me, or do Escher's illustrations make you a little motion sick? I look at this "crazy stairs" climax in the film and get dizzy...
Is Kermit the frog narrating?
All that amazing set design and the song is so mediocre!
