When she does show up its not as an ass kicking Queen or even the resourceful beauty from the original story. There's a side story where a sad creature named "Moppet" is trying to figure out who she is (view spoiler) Īlso? Practically no Sarah which is just a bummer. I think its basically the same one as the original except this time its Toby who has to grow up and stop expecting everyone to do everything for him? Maybe? All I really know is there is a shit ton of complaining. Sad art aside I just don't even know what the story is here. I'm talking the episodes like that Batman cross-over where Batman's tights disappear randomly because they forget to color the cell in.
They're drawn like the sketches for an old school Scooby Doo cartoon. Actually that's giving them too much credit. There are hoardes of new characters, all of whom are drawn in that horrible Disney sequel style that's like one degree above a frickin' He-man cartoon. Toby is a directionless teen who just wants to play fantasy based video games and Sarah is an English teacher who doesn't remember any of her time in the labyrinth and Jareth is a petulant brat who's still angry about Sarah not taking him up on his offer to "fear me, love me" and "do as I say." Peaches have long been eaten, waltzes danced, fieries foiled, bogs of stench avoided, and cold, cold hearts broken. We begin quite a few years post the lovely Sarah saving her baby brother Toby from the equally lovely Jareth, king of the goblins. I'm NOT reviewing all four of these separately. Maybe Jareth began to fade away without her love and she came back to rescue HIM!? I mean did Sarah grow up and find her way back through the labyrinth and a destiny as a queen? Did Jareth forsake the goblin kingdom and his power to find her in the human world (once she was a legal adult of course)? Maybe she became a great actress who used her time in the labyrinth to make amazing fantasy movies. What happened to that beautiful, cold king and that beautiful young woman? It can't all just end with a goblin slumber party and owls flying off into the night can it? I mean yes, there's been some enormously good fan fiction but that's not "real" in the canonical sense is it? I'm sure that, like me and countless other fans, you always kind of wondered what happened next.
#Labyrinth 2 return goblin king series
Oh and David fucking Bowie sings amazing songs while wearing a series of awe inspiring codpieces. A perfectly normal girl does battle with a tempting not quite evil magical king to save someone she loves and she meets marvelous, unbelievable creatures along the way who make her stronger and teach her the lessons of growing up but with the wonderful footnote that its okay not to entirely give up those innocent imaginings of childhood. I mean its practically every little kids game of imaginary castles and kings and dragons brought to life.
Its one of the all time great romantic fantasy films. A perfectly normal girl does battle with a tempting not quite evil magical king to save someone she loves and she meets marv A relatively interesting concept and gorgeous cover art are not enough to save this very, very awful looking sequel series to possibly my favorite (and still a firm fixture on the adult top ten list) childhood film.
