Since Henson's death, "Labyrinth" has been re-evaluated by several notable critics. A review from 2000 in "Empire" magazine called the film "a fabulous fantasy" and wrote, "David Bowie cuts a spooky enough figure in that fright wig to fit right in with this extraordinary menagerie of Goth Muppets. And Jennifer Connelly, still in the flush of youth, makes for an appealingly together kind of heroine." Writing for the "Chicago Tribune" in 2007, Michael Wilmington described "Labyrinth" as "dazzling", writing that it is "a real masterpiece of puppetry and special effects, an absolutely gorgeous children's fantasy movie". In 2010 "Total Film" ran a feature called 'Why We Love Labyrinth' which described "Labyrinth" as a "hyper-real, vibrant daydream, "Labyrinth's" main strength lies in its fairytale roots, which give the fantastical story a platform from which to launch into some deliriously outlandish scenarios". In their February 2012 issue, "Empire" featured a four-page spread on "Labyrinth" as part of their Muppet Special.
