Last week I took a shot at dissecting the allegorical significance of Sucker Punch, in which a troubled girl fights to take back control of her sexuality at the hands of depraved men everywhere, and does so through elaborate song-and-dance action sequences. Where others seemed to get wrapped up in the potentially disconcerting message that the literal text was selling, I sought to examine what the subtext had intended to sell. And it’s with a similar goal in mind that I’ll now be ruining Labyrinth for you forever.
The first plot details for the upcoming Labyrinth 2 have been revealed, teasing what to expect from the long-awaited sequel to the cult classic.
Following the huge success of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance we ponder which classic fantasy movie Netflix could adapt for television next.

After many years of speculation, it has now been confirmed that TriStar Pictures is moving forward with a sequel to the beloved children’s classic Labyrinth. The 1986 film had a veritable treasure chest of incredible talent behind it – director Jim Henson and his incredible Creature Shop, a screenplay by Monty Python alum Terry Jones, Lucasfilm managing the production, a future Oscar-winner in the heroine role, and music icon David Bowie as the Goblin King. While the film wasn’t a commercial success upon release, it built up a cult fanbase and is remembered fondly by 80s kids and Bowie fans alike.
WOW!!! That both a funny yet insightful look at the movie. I always thought there was something strange about all the toys a girl that age had in her room and the suck attacks she took so easily.
I'll never be able to look at that movie the same again.
This movie was always too creepy for me to enjoy... now I feel justified? :P
