Labyrinth- one of the most enchanting children's films ever made? Advantages: Fun, imaginative family-friendly film, enchanting storyline, charming characters. Disadvantages: Slighty gimmicky in places, stereotypically '80s'. Jim Henson, as most of us know, is chiefly recognised for his puppetry and crazy protagnonists.

If you didn't have Transformers in your toy collection you were a social outcast doomed with no friends. Yes, this is how much this movie meant to kids growing up in this era.

Labyrinth - David Bowie and Sarah Connelly - Loved it Advantages: Very watchable with an strong feel good factor. All turns out right in the end Disadvantages: None I have owned this product on video for a number of years and love it. It awakens the imagination, has characters you can relate to and an excellent soundtrack. Although not a true David Bowie fan, he is at his best here as the Goblin King. Sarah is a teenager whose mother has died and her father has remarried to a step-mother she resents although the step-mother is not of the usual "wicked" variety, and Sarah now has a young baby brother - Toby. ... ...has inherited from her late mother and her resentment grows when she is left at home to watch the baby when her father and step-mother go for an evening out.
