About
You’ll likely enjoy Labyrinth if you love whimsical, quirky fantasy with outrageous creatures and lots of musical moments like The Dark Crystal or The NeverEnding Story; Not for you if you dislike 80s-dated visuals or want a tightly cohesive story.
Pros: imaginative fantasy adventure; memorable puppets; catchy 80s songs | Cons: effects feel dated; pacing drags; story feels segmented
