Tired of her mundane world of babysitting her baby half brother Toby, Sarah wishes Toby to be taken away by Goblin King Jareth. To her surprise, her wish comes true and goblins appear right before her playing little tricks on her until the great Goblin King Jareth makes an entrance to remove her troubles away. Now one would think that she would be grateful, but it causes a huge conflict for young Sarah. She begs the king to have her brother back, but she must complete the labyrinth and reach the king's castle within 13 hours.

Labyrinth may be an old movie from the 80's, but it is a classic to young and old. It is pure fantasy, fun, and musical. It has a storyline that is relatable throughout any time period of teenage responsibility and wanting to be sucked into a fantasy world. The effects are a little cheesy, but they are amazing for that time period. Mr. Henson does not fail to entertain the audience he deeply cherishes and gained from the well known franchise the Muppets. Please check out this fabulous classic featuring the great idol David Bowie and beautiful, young Jennifer Connelly.
