Labyrinth PSP UMD Movie
Description of Labyrinth [UMD for PSP]:
Sarah (a teenage Jennifer Connelly) rehearses the role of a fairy-tale queen, performing for her stuffed animals. She is about to discover that the time has come to leave her childhood behind. In real life she has to baby-sit her brother and contend with parents who don't understand her at all. Her petulance leads her to call the goblins to take the baby away, but when they actually do, she realizes her responsibility to rescue him. Sarah negotiates the Labyrinth to reach the City of the Goblins and the castle of their king. The king is the only other human in the film and is played by a glam-rocking David Bowie, who performs five of his songs. The rest of the cast are puppets, a wonderful array of Jim Henson's imaginative masterpieces. Henson gives credit to children's author and illustrator Maurice Sendak, and the creatures in the movie will remind Sendak fans of his drawings. The castle of the king is a living M.C. Escher set that adults will enjoy. The film combines the highest standards of art, costume, and set decoration. Like executive producer George Lucas's other fantasies, Labyrinth mixes adventure with lessons about growing up. --Lloyd Chesley
Labyrinth [UMD for PSP] Reviews:
Fiary tale with a plot of "be careful what you ask for, it may come true." 
2009-12-12 - Teenager who wishes and lives in a fantasy world of being a princess. She doesn't want to socialize with family, stays in her room and dreams, one of which is that she wishes her little sister would go away so whe would not have to babysit while her mom and dad when out. Her fantasy world of escape eventually takes her there. Where at the end of her journey through this maze of craziness she meets her prince who is David Bowie, who looks gorgeous. She comes in contact with many different bizaar, and strange creatures through her journey. The movie is quite old, made before all the computers and electronics got involved with movies; so therefore all the bizzare beings she comes in contact with are done with the upmost creativity of makeup and customes. It left a great impression upon me at one time, and I bought it for my grandchildren who are in their teens. They too, have many wishes, and like to escape from everyday reality. So, this movie I felt will give them a reality check that everything isn't always what it seems. Movie was well made, no parental review needed, colorful, creative, lost of surprises, moves at a good pace as not to lose interest, very realistic, and David Bowie makes this movie really speical.
Classic 
2009-12-02 - This is a classic fantasy that holds up well. It has never looked better than it does on the BluRay. Well worth the price.
Great movie for your children 
2009-11-29 - A classical 80's movie. Well suited for our youngsters...with all the "special efects" from yesterday
great on blu-ray 
2009-11-05 - Great picture and sound. What else to say. A Must buy on blu-ray.
Great buy! 
2009-11-04 - I have loved this movie since I was a child and was thrilled to see it on Blu-Ray. It looks as good as one could expect considering it's age. It also has some wonderful extra features. It has the behind-the-scenes featurette that was on the DVD; but it also has an additional 'making of' documentary, a picture-in-picture track featuring interviews with puppeteers and puppet makers, and a commentary by Brian Froud. A great addition to any Blu-Ray collection!
