synopsis
This children's fantasy is dominated by great production values, wonderful puppets and gorgeous visuals. Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) is left at home to babysit for her little brother Toby. Since he is fussing and crying, she decides to read him a story and before she knows it, the Goblin King (David Bowie) appears and spirits off little Toby to his castle protected by a labyrinth. If Sarah does not want Toby to turn into another goblin, she must make her way through the maze and rescue him before the clock strikes 12.
