Around film

The film is inspired, like Dark Crystal, of the magic universe of the draftsman Brian Froud, who was engaged there as costumier and supervisor of the visual effects, and it is the proper son who plays Toby in film. And it itself inspired a great annual demonstration in the USA, a Bal masked fairy-like of great width called " The Labyrinth off Jareth Masquerade Ball".
