Labari...... Laybyr ....... Labary... (WHY didn't they just call it MAZE? I can spell MAZE....) was one of those films that I loved as a child and have rebought recently in an attempt to convince my kids that old films are better than new ones.It featured David Bowie as the Goblin King, and Jennifer Connelly as Sarah.While minding her baby brother, Sarah wishes that the goblin king would take him away, and when he does, she tries to get him back.It's one of those ace films that combines real people with Jim Henson creations.Once the Goblin King has allowed her into the Labyrinth, she has 13 hours to rescue her brother.Initially, she meets up with Hoggle - a troll. He helps her, unwillingly, into the Labyrinth and guides her towards the centre. On the way, she meets up with Ludo - a huge gentle beast, and a dog with a sword (I think) riding on another dog.The way the muppets and the characters mingle is just amazing, and come the end, you just forget the majority of people you've been watching were puppets.This and The Dark Crystal are how all films should be made.
