Re: Labyrinth

[(Anonymous)]

As a kid, my favourite character was Ambrosius. Seriously. I had so much love for that cowardly (and/or eminently sensible) and longsuffering dog. As an adult, it's probably Jareth, but I've developed a real thing for the Fae since my teen years.

My favourite part of the movie always was and still is the Escher Room. That thing is amazing. Though I'll also give points to the Helping Hands for being really cool and snide.

I still do ship Jareth/Sarah a bit, in a Tam Lin sort of way. The ballroom scene was awesome, and I think I developed something of a fondness for masquerades from it.

I don't know about a sequel at all. I'm very very attached to the Jim-Henson-ness of the original, and there's pretty much no way to emulate that in modern films. CGI does not cut it. I don't know. If WETA workshop was doing it or something, then maybe? Animatronics and miniatures and strong make-up skills, that's what I want.

Plot-wise, though ... I'm not sure. I've read a bunch of fanfic where Sarah has to return to the Labyrinth to save it from some outside threat, looking at a twisted Labyrinth through now-adult eyes. I'd like something like that, I think. Where Sarah's new adultness is echoed by an infection in the childish charm/danger of the Labyrinth that turns it into something darker, but the lightness is returned at the end, the way Hoggle and the others showed up at the end of the original to show that even with adult responsibilities, childishness and wonder and magic do still have their place.

I've read similar stories where people stop believing in the Labyrinth so it begins to fall apart, Jareth loses his power, and Sarah has to come return belief and save it.

I almost want them to go in a totally different direction because I don't think anyone could really capture the charm from the Jim H. company. Even Weta went way too CGI in the new Hobbit films. If they went back to practical effects, I think there's a chance but I no longer count on it. But if they went WAY different then I don't think it would feel like they were stepping on the original as much. I think I might like a darker, more mature take on it, but with the happy ending at the end.

I like your idea of the infection. It would be a good way of bringing Sarah back.
