The Jim Henson film, Labyrinth directed by Terry Jones required many goblins, fireys and creatures to make up the large cast of puppets that filled this fantasy world. Visualising the storey came as a result of character designs and concept paintings of the sets devised by Brain Froud. As the storey progressed and production began, this film proved to be a huge challenge for the puppet makers in the level of detail required and the sheer volume of creatures. Brian explains how his drawings have been altered to work for the film:
"I often describe the space between my rough designs and fully realised creatures on the screen as being a magical mystery. You cannot walk away from a concept drawing and expect it to be expressive on film. My function is to allow the idea to live, changing my design to make the technical problems work for you, not against you."
