Description
Labyrinth is a 1986 British-American fantasy film directed by Jim Henson, produced by George Lucas and based upon conceptual designs by Brian Froud. The film stars David Bowie as Jareth and Jennifer Connelly as Sarah. The plot revolves around Sarah's quest to reach the center of an enormous otherworldly maze to rescue her infant brother Toby, who has been kidnapped by Jareth, the Goblin King. With the exception of Bowie and Connelly, most of the significant characters in the film are played by puppets produced by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.Labyrinth started as a collaboration between Jim Henson and Brian Froud, with ideas for the film first being discussed between them following a screening of their previous collaboration, The Dark Crystal. Terry Jones from Monty Python wrote the first draft of the film's script early in 1984, drawing on Brian Froud's sketches for inspiration. Various other script-writers, including Laura Phillips (who had previously written several episodes of Fraggle Rock), George Lucas, Dennis Lee, and Elaine May, subsequently re-wrote and made additions to the screenplay, although Jones received the film's sole screen-writing credit. Labyrinth was shot on location in Upper Nyack, Piermont and Haverstraw in New York, and at Elstree Studios and West Wycombe Park in the United Kingdom.
The New York Times reported that Labyrinth had a budget of $25 million. Labyrinth was a box office disappointment and only grossed $12,729,917 during its U.S theatrical run. The commercial failure of the film demoralized Henson to the extent that his son Brian Henson remembered the time of the film's release as one of the most difficult periods of his father's career. It would be the last feature film directed by Henson before his death in 1990.
Although it was met with a mixed critical response upon its original release in the summer of 1986, Labyrinth has since gained a strong cult following and tributes to it have been featured in magazines such as Empire and Total Film. A four-volume manga sequel to the film, entitled Return to Labyrinth, was published by Tokyopop between 2006 and 2010. In 2012 Archaia Studios Press announced they were developing a graphic novel prequel to the film.

DOOR KNOCKERS
1:6 scale prop replica
Unsure of which door to choose? Try asking the door knockers; if you can get them to stop bickering that is.
Within the mystical Labyrinth, a pair of talking door knockers is hardly the strangest thing one may find, though countless years of having a ring stuck in your mouth or ears is enough to make any animate object more than just a little upset, and once they start arguing it’s hard to get them to stop. Best to let sleeping knockers lie, pick a door, and carry on your way.

LUDO
1:6 scale statue – Limited Edition of 400
'Things are not always what they seem in this place, so you can’t take anything for granted,’ - words of advice ringing in Sarah’s ears as she explores the treacherous Labyrinth. Trusting her feelings, the girl approaches the bellowing, fearsome, hairy monster hanging by his feet. Gently untying his cruel bonds, Sarah reassures the frightened beast and her kind instincts are rewarded when he introduces himself as Ludo, Sarah’s new best friend.
Hulking and massive, with great curling horns and tusks projecting from his broad maw, Ludo looms menacingly, but the creature’s intimidating visage belies a gentle soul beneath all that matted and shaggy hair. He responds to Sarah’s generosity in kind, pledging his friendship and loyalty, following her into every peril the dizzying maze throws their way until he can go no further. But even as Sarah bids her friends farewell for her final confrontation with the Goblin King, Ludo, Hoggle, Sir Didymus, and all of the beings whose hearts she has touched on her journey will always be with her…
