Labyrinth (1986)
I’ve seen this one over the years many times, I thought the music was creative performed by David Bowie who also plays the role of Jareth the Goblin King in this as well. This was produced by George Lucas, and the late Jim Henson was responsible for the puppets and animatronics that were used to bring these characters to life. For this reason alone it was worth watching, but this is a nice, solid, yet simple story about a girl played by a much younger Jennifer Connelly named Sarah.
Her parents go away and she is left with babysitting duty. She is jealous of her little baby brother played by Toby Froud named “Toby” and wishes him to go away and from her intentions the child is taken by the Goblin King. This sets up the story, and we see her adventure into this fantasy realm of creatures and characters with stunning backdrops throughout the film. She only has 13 hours to rescue her brother, and figure her way through the Labyrinth. She is a confused and typical teenager filled with lots of different emotions. She befriends different creatures along the way to aid her in her quest. This is another film that is worthwhile to watch with your kids and family. I highly recommend this one.
