One of the most iconic quotes from the movie is, “You have no power over me,” spoken by Sarah to the Goblin King. The novelization states that Linda gave Sarah the music box featured prominently in her room as a fifteenth birthday present. In the novelization, the music box plays Greensleeves instead of the tune of As The World Falls Down.Yes, that’s time-consuming, and yes, the margin of error is high, and yes, this requires top-notch hand-sewing skills to be able to sew invisibly, and yes, this requires being extremely flexible and being willing to work with unexpected behaviors in lace. This is why it’s a couture method and so often skipped in favor of visible seams and calling it part of the design. There’s nothing wrong with visible seams when they’re genuinely desired (and sometimes they are, especially for bodices we want to have the visual appeal of a corset), but for when a magical fit with lace is desired, enter lace-shaping!

[168] Described by the International Business Times as the role that made Connelly "everyone's crush", [169] the character has remained one of Connelly's best known performances. [158] [170] In 1997, Connelly said, "I still get recognized for Labyrinth by little girls in the weirdest places. I can't believe they still recognize me from that movie. It's on TV all the time and I guess I pretty much look the same." [171] In 2008, Connelly said she found it amusing that many people continued to recognise her as Sarah two decades after she worked on the film. [172] Hubbard, Amy (27 June 2016).

After overcoming first the gate guard then the goblin army, Sarah arrives at Jareth's castle, whereupon she parts from her friends, insisting she must face Jareth alone and promising to call the others if needed. In a gravity-defying room of staircases, Sarah confronts Jareth while trying to retrieve Toby. As Jareth offers Sarah her dreams again, promising to be her slave on the condition that she fear, love and obey him, she remembers the line from her book: "You have no power over me!".

Sarah and Hoggle climb up a ladder and emerge in a courtyard which is home to The Wiseman, who offers Sarah a few words of rambling advice in exchange for her ring. Hoggle attempts to leave Sarah after their encounter with The Wiseman, but she snatches his collection of plastic jewelry and refuses to return it unless he agrees to lead her through the Labyrinth. Reluctantly, Hoggle agrees to take Sarah as far as he can. They both continue through a hedge garden, and as they are walking Sarah tells Hoggle he is the only friend she has in the Labyrinth. Hoggle seems startled by this, and tells Sarah he has never had a friend before. Just after this exchange, they are stopped by a pained roar that makes Hoggle flee in fear despite Sarah's attempts to stop him.Bitner, Brian (28 June 2016).

Sarah has garnered a more positive reception in decades since Labyrinth's release. Heather Roche of the Times Colonist wrote that the character's "perseverance in solving the labyrinth is inspiring, and sends a great message to any viewers." [129] Several commentators have considered Sarah to be an identifiable protagonist to teenagers because of her strong emotions and familial woes, [130] [131] as well as being relatable to children who spend a lot of time in their imaginations. [64] [132] Zaki Hasan of Fandor wrote favourably of Sarah as "an intelligent young woman, neither portrayed in stereotypical terms nor baselessly sexualized," who "never loses her agency, even as sinister forces conspire to keep her from her goal." [133] Describing the character as a "hormonal hurricane ... bratty and forthright but impossibly likeable", Josh Winning of Total Film wrote, "In-between her numerous rants of "It's not fair!", Sarah's brash sensibilities mean she's at least clever enough not to act intimidated by the Goblin King even if her insides are shuddering ... Not only that, but she defeats her foe by using her brains, and doesn't rely on Prince Charming to come to her rescue." [134] Writing for The Odyssey, Julia Kell praised Sarah's complexity and character growth, writing that her bravery and perseverance are "incredibly inspiring to see in a young girl." [135] In a 2012 retrospective of Labyrinth, Vulture's Rebecca Milzoff found it "refreshing ... how Labyrinth offer[s] up a different kind of heroine than the Disney princess movies", as Sarah's goal is not to fall in love or find a husband. [136] Contrasting Labyrinth to contemporary 1980s films about teenagers, Sarah Monette of Uncanny Magazine found Sarah's character offers teenage girls the "vanishingly rare" message that "it's okay not to want the sexualized, exaggeratedly feminine version of adulthood represented by [Sarah's] ridiculous white dress" and that having a boyfriend "is not a victory condition" nor essential to growing up.

Featured Facts

Sarah]'s on that cusp between being an adult and a big sister ... and [the film is] her struggle to kind of compete with these two things. But of course, in the end, she enters adulthood on her own terms, not on the terms of society or what her peer group says she should be doing or what the temptations are; she moves into it as her own woman ... And love is, ultimately, the source of her strength." Sarah features in Labyrinth merchandise such as colouring and activity books, posters, and lobby cards. After Toby's disappearance a white barn owl flies into the room, and transforms into Jareth, the Goblin King. Jareth tells Sarah that he has taken the baby as she asked, and offers her a crystal that will reveal her dreams if she forgets about her brother. Sarah declines, and Jareth tells her that she has thirteen hours to rescue her brother from his Labyrinth and that he will turn the baby into "one of us forever" if she fails to reach him in time. a b McGovern, Bridget (8 January 2014).
