Does anyone remember which episode it was that Muppet babies made reference to Labyrinth?
Also does anyone have a downloadable version of the animated version of Fraggle Rock's episode where Gobo has to turn the heat back on (Of course the Trash heap calls his quest something else) and that too makes Labyrinth reference. I haven't seen it in years but I recall during his journey a Layrinth reference adn I'd like to see it again.
The only possible reference (besides the ones I've mentioned before) in Fraggle Rock (the live version) that I can think of is "The festival of the bells" when Gobo is looking for the Great Bell, finds a map of the whole Rock, which is drawn like a labyrinth instead of the usual maps he has (which you rarely see well since he's either carrying them or they're in a pile somewhere) where the tunnels look more natural.

Thanks to the help of someone on muppet central I found the episode of Muppet Babies that makes Labyrinth references. Apparently Ms. Piggy, taking the place of Sarah has to solve The Labyrinth. Scooter is the blue worm, Fozzy and Rolf are the Truth and lyind doors. Animal is Ludo. And Gonzo is Hoggle. She has to solve The Labyirnth to get her Alice's adventures of Wonderland book back. She even gets a Labyrinth card (instead of library card). The entire episode feels like a plug for Labyrnth but it's cute!
Part 1 which has the most Labyrinth clips.
The episode is called Nice to have Gnome you.

The episode even has clips of The Witches.
Something weird though. Watch Par 2 carefully. When they show The Labyrinth clip the castle beyond The Goblin City doesn't quite look right. It doesn't looke like the one from the film yet it's not an animated. It's at 3:49 into the clip.
Part 2

The Bog of etenral Stench is 'Swamp of whoopy.' and Mrs. Piggy says like the Church Lady of Saturday Night live 'Well, isn't that special!'
Part 3

I'm willing to bet the "castle" in pt 2 is Aughra's home in Dark Crystal (lightened up some though).

It's imposed over the Labyrinth though. Just an odd merger, I guess.
And the funny thing is, when they show a drawn entrance to the Goblin city, the castle resembles Jareth's, not the one that looks like Aughra's...

I noticed that.
Well, watched Labyrinth again. The weird castle is actually supposed to be Jareth's. Note it's the bright one when Sarah's in the hedge maze yet (seemingly) the stone one in every other shot. Perhaps the design concept changed midfilm?

That was a good Muppet Babies ep. for me too as well. Those that have seen Labyrinth will recognize all the scenes that the kids reference.
The first Labyrinth reference I recognize is when Gonzo picks up that book, there is a picture of the Goblins when they say "Listen, she's going to say the words!"
But the Goblins lines are dubbed over with Gonzo's lines I think.
What are the purposes of signatures!!..
