Such were the challenges that had attracted everyone to the project. “The reality of the art and science of puppets, and trying to create realistic rather than abstract puppets, was really what Jim and I had been working on from the very beginning,” said George Lucas at the time. The impact on Henson was devastating. He had long craved recognition as a serious artist, rather as merely the creator of the Muppets and of Sesame Street characters such as Cookie Monster and The Count. But Labyrinth had crashed and burned just a few years after another mega-flop, 1982’s The Dark Crystal. “Jim Henson” and “serious cinema” were becoming a contradiction in terms. New!

For this costumes Zaldy and Bush used the most advanced technology. Michael Bush affirmed that it was the first time he put crystals on the Billie Jean costume and that during the working you must wear sunglasses because the crystals reflected lots of light. Zaldy also told that he had worked with Swarovski and that he created the "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" costume with 300000 crystals. In the UK, suddenly, I was crazily recognised, and I couldn’t go out any more. It tipped me into a level of celebrity I couldn’t ever have known existed and wasn’t equipped for. It had a massive, generally detrimental effect on my mental health,” he told The New York Times last July. Jones was put to work on Lee’s script. He was surprised to discover that it was essentially a “poetic novella”. Most of that was thrown out by Jones, who envisaged the film as having an environmental message. He was also keen to keep the Goblin King off-screen for most of the movie. This would have left David Bowie, and his trousers, at a bit of a loose end. Henson was not enthused. For Bowie, Labyrinth was an opportunity to indulge his theatrical side – the ripple of panto that ran through so much of his work. He’d always wanted to make a record for kids. Now he finally had a chance. But for Henson the movie was a shot at redemption.

Working from this initial idea, Froud and Henson handed off the task of putting flesh and bones on the script to Dennis Lee, the poet and children’s author. But after Lee had submitted his draft, Henson felt more work was needed. So he reached out to Terry Jones of Monty Python fame. Coincidentally, Jones had been trying to get hold of Henson, with a view to collaborating on a big screen version of his children’s tale, Erik the Viking.

The problem was that, after all the cobbling together, the story had lost any sense of fun. Henson remembered only too well that The Dark Crystal had been strung up by critics for being too serious. So he called Terry Jones again and wondered if he might be interested in a further rewrite. Maybe he could bung in some of the jokes that had been subsequently expunged. He’d even give the Monty Python man sole screenwriting credits. Jim said he wanted it to be more a young girl’s coming-of-age story,” Jones remembered to Empire, “and he wanted to show the centre of the labyrinth sooner, because he wanted to play around a lot there. I really thought we shouldn’t see the centre of the labyrinth before the girl does, otherwise what’s the hook for the audience? One day near the end of February, Kenny Ortega answered the phone in his home office in Sherman Oaks, California, and heard a soft, familiar falsetto on the other end of the line. “Kenny,” the caller said, “it’s Michael.” Bowie, as ever, was hipper to this than anyone else, which is why he slipped in a reference to The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer. And perhaps that’s why Labyrinth has lived on: it’s a rare Hollywood movie that takes seriously the experience of being a young woman finding her way in the world.I had an instant vision of a baby surrounded by goblins, which I thought would look really striking,” recalled Brian Froud, the fantasy artist with whom Henson cooked up the concept. (Froud’s 18-month-old son, Toby, played the infant that Jareth kidnaps and flings playfully into the air during Magic Dance.)

Jones and Henson agreed to disagree, and went their separate ways. George Lucas, creator of Star Wars and Indiana Jones, was co-producing Labyrinth, and weighed in with his own contributions to the script. These were incorporated into one of several rewrites, which tilted the plot closer to Henson’s initial vision. The devastating pot shot when it came, however, was directed not at Tony Blair but at poor Michael Hutchence of INXS. He was looking characteristically dapper as he strode out to present Oasis with yet another award, this time for Best Video. Then Noel Gallagher grabbed the mic and said “Has-beens shouldn’t be presenting awards to gonna-bes”.They brought me the concept,” said Bowie. “[Henson] showed me The Dark Crystal,which I found a fascinating piece of work. And I could see the potentiality of making that kind of movie, with humans, songs, more of a lighter comedy.”
