Labyrinth

I have never heard of the movie Labyrinth and did not really know what to expect. The movie starts off with Sarah being late and her step-mom getting mad at her. Her parents were going out and she was suppose to watch her little brother Toby. Sarah was so upset when her parents left that she made a wish. "I wish the goblins could come take you away right now," Sarah demanded! The goblins took Toby away, and once Sarah realized he was actually gone, she wanted him back. The Goblin King came and told her she had 13 hours to find Toby otherwise he would become a goblin.
When Sarah got to the entrance Hoggle showed her the way in and warned her "things aren't always as they seem." When she enters through the doors, she encounters a brick maze that seems to be completely straight. As she works her way through the maze, it keeps changing on her. Sarah falls underground and finds Hoggle again. He starts to lead her towards the castle. The Goblin King sees this and decides to pay a visit. Sarah said the maze was easy so the Goblin King makes things harder by turning the clock ahead giving Sarah less time.
Once they get to the hedge maze, Hoggle says he is done helping her; well Sarah stole his jewels on his hip and he changed his mind. These creatures say "sometimes to go forward, you must go back." Hoggle runs away while Sarah meets a new friend Ludo. Sarah and Ludo end up in the Bog of Eternal Stench and have no way out since the bridge caves in. Ludo calls up rocks so they can pass across the river of stench. Once they get past the Bog of Eternal Stench, Hoggle gives Sarah a peach that makes her forget what she is trying to do.
Sarah is at a costume party and the people there are dressed like those at Labyrinth. Sarah and the Goblin King are dancing when at midnight she busts a mirror and is back in Labyrinth. They make it to the castle and encounter a few problems. They are attacked by an army of goblins. Ludo uses his power of calling rocks to defeat the goblins and make their way into the castle.
Sarah needs to face the Goblin King alone so the others stay behind while she enters the staircase maze. Everything is upside down and sideways and is difficult for Sarah to get to Toby.
Sarah defeats the Goblin King and her and Toby are returned to their home with Toby sound asleep. Sarah gave Toby her beloved Lancelot. It is no longer storming outside. The movie ends with Sarah having a party in her room with all her friends from Labyrinth.
I found this movie to be pretty strange. It wasn't a bad movie, just different. It was humorous and it displays children imagination pretty good.
