Thank you 
I love all things Henson and Froud.
Yes. Here’s an article about Michael:
That was kinda cool how he did that ball rolling thingie with the crystal balls.
I’m also wondering if anyone knows where I can find someone to either make me a gown like Sarah’s Bubble Dance ballgown or if they know where I can find a good pattern with instructions. I’d luuuuurve to have a dress like that.

It’s actually just contact juggling. Full contact juggling would be something involving big hairy men with pads and only shown on TNN. 
I loved the way they incorporated Michael Moschen’s hands with David Bowie’s body for those scenes.
More on contact juggling:

lots of others through google.
Labryinth Rocks!
Speaking of contact juggling (the second link from NameAlreadyTaken is great) I can do that, but you can’t marry me unless you grow a penis.
Great film. But a word about contact juggling…
Everyone and their dog started doing contact juggling after seeing Michael Moschen’s big scene. It’s become nearly ubiquitous in the juggling community. So you shouldn’t have any trouble finding a likely victim for a husband if you just attend a juggling convention Cadbury Angel.
Shameless plug coming up:
You know how he rolled the ball on his hand from palm to back of fingers? I can do that with my HEAD!
Oh my I looooove this movie! Watched it twice a day every day the year I was in 7th grade, and still own a copy.
Someone above mentioned a book? What book? Was the movie based on it or was it written based on the movie?
I think my favorite part was always the end where you could see all Sarah’s stuffed animals were the Muppet characters from the movie. Oh and my other favorite part has always been the door knockers - my daughter used to look just like the one with the hoop in his mouth, back when she chewed on her teething ring all the time. Sadly almost no one got it when I mentioned the resembalance.
The creepiest part to me was when the Firey dudes popped their eyeballs out. Yuck!

Yoiks! $850 is a little pricey for a dress I’d only wear a few times a year. Perhaps I can Google it and find a pattern and suggested materials to use for surely I can make it myself for cheaper than $850.
Thanks for the linkie though.
I also found
IDBBthis to be quite interesting as well. Gives ya something to think about.

OHH! I just remembered something that bugs me about the movie, much as I love it.
In the end, when all the Labyrinth folk appear in her mirror, saying “should you need us” and she says something like “Every now and again in my life, I need you.” To me this always sounded like she’d been back for weeks or years already and was speaking in the past tense, like she’s been needing them, but she just got back. I guess that qualifies as a nitpick.
I bought a pair of panties at Victoria’s Secret not too long ago that are red and white striped, and they always remind me of Toby’s cap. (overshare? ;j )
Twiddle Labyrinth - the Novel
It’s based on the movie, but I liked it because, like all books you get more depth.
There is also a children’s book, here
Shoot, look how much it’s worth now. Damn I should’ve kept it!
Hmm…
Anyone know of a definitive listing of the pseudo-gibberish dialogue spoken by the “teeny goblin soldiers who attack Ludo with the fetuses-on-sticks?”
[sub]Thanks IDBB.[/sub]
I could swear my adolescent brain heard one say something about cunnilingus, though it may have been the line IDBB quoted earlier.
Haven’t watched this one on far too long. Seems I’ll have to track me down that DVD soon.
Hee 
You can find the full text of Labyrinth – the Novel here, if you don’t want to buy the book (or you want a preview before you buy).
Ooh, there’s a DVD… I have it on tape and I have the soundtrack as well as the novel. It’s a shame he won’t sing those songs in concert; I seem to recall reading that he thinks they are “silly”. But As the World Falls Down is incredible, as well as Within You.
I also plan to name my son Jareth, if I ever have a son. I may chicken out at the last minute and call him Jared though.
Skeezix–thanks to Google, I was able to find a transcript of the movie and found the lines spoken by the teeny goblin soldiers bearing fetuses-on-sticks weapon thingies:
GOBLIN: TRY THIS FOR SIZE, YOU BIG YETI!
GOBLIN: WE GOT YOU NOW, FUZZBALL!
GOBLIN: HA HA HA!
LUDO: GRRR!
LUDO: RRAGHH!
GOBLINS: HEEHOO YAH!
GOBLIN: NIPPY, NIPPY, NIP, NIP!
LUDO: GRRR!
[CHOMP!]
SARAH: IF I ONLY HAD SOMETHING TO THROW…
LUDO: EEOOWW!
GOBLINS: HA HA HA!
GOBLIN: BITE HIM ON THE TERIYAKI!
GOBLIN: SAKI TO HIM! SAKI TO HIM!
GOBLINS: HA HA HA!
[CLANK!]
GOBLIN: OH! WHAT HAPPENED?
GOBLIN: WHO TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS?
GOBLIN: I CAN’T SEE.
GOBLIN: AAH!
GOBLIN: HEY, WHY’D YOU BITE ME?
GOBLIN: WHO BITE WHO?
GOBLIN: WHY’D YOU BITE ME?
GOBLIN: I CAN’T SEE! I CAN’T SEE!
[CLANK!]
GOBLIN: WE’RE UNDER ATTACK!
GOBLIN: RETREAT!
GOBLIN: ALL RIGHT, WHO BIT ME?
GOBLIN: OH, MY ACHING SUSHI!
GOBLIN: YII!
LUDO: YARRGH!
LUDO: YARRGH! YARRGH!
Now they do mention both teriyaki and sushi and speak in faux (and very HORRIBLE:D) Asian/Japanese accents. Perhaps at the time, it sounded naughty to you? 
IDBB
Thanks fer the effort. Hasta be that “aching sushi” line.
My brain, residing as it does in the gutter, combined with a high level of raging hormones, ran the end of the previous line into that one, turning it into, “Ah! I am eating a…”
I know. It makes no sense in context. (unless the nipper on the stick had been biting a cat, or something) Even then, it makes no sense to throw that line into a fairly kid friendly movie, especially one from Henson Studios…
But that’s what I heard, and it’s burned into my grey matter, now.
ROTFLMAO
Well…keep in mind, Skeezix that the ‘family friendly’ Henson studios decided to not only have us first come across Hoggle whilst he was taking a pee, but have 'peeing Hoggle" statuary on a fountain in the Goblin City towards the end of the film.

You know, I just recently watched Labyrinth again after not having seen it for a while, and I had forgotten just how much I liked this movie. Now, I just need to dig up my Dark Crystal tape…
modro–I’d forgotten all about both Laby and Dark Crystal until I saw them on the shelf again in DVD format and (having just purchased a DVD player) was resolved to buy them for the nostalgia.
After watching both of them a gazillion times…I remembered WHY I loved these movies so much.
