Many people remember Jim Henson's musical adventure Labyrinth for many different reasons. Maybe those little goblins scared you to death or perhaps you just loved the music. However, many remember the sexual tyrannosaurus hiding in plain sight in what is supposedly a fun kids fantasy-adventure movie. Namely, the film's star David Bowie's massive bulge. Now, one thing to keep in mind is that this film is about a teenage girl trying to rescue her baby brother from goblins and the fact that the Goblin King has a massive bulge on full display adds this weird, omnipresent sexuality to the entire movie, which no one is 100% sure wasnt included on purpose. Back in a time where childrens films had the freedom to incorporate adult themes and imagery into their narrative, Labyrinth stood as a monument to which many a fantasy film would yearn to aspire. On a side note: if you go ahead and Google "David Bowie Labyrinth Bulge" be prepared to witness some of the funniest memes of all time!
