The sequel to Labyrinth that never was

On September 30, MirrorMask, the latest film by the Jim Henson Company, is coming out. It's the story of a 15-year-old girl who makes a stupid wish that jeopardizes a family member. In order to rescue her family member, she must journey to a confusing and dream-like alternate world populated by odd creatures. Hmmmm, why is this sounding familiar? I've ordered the book of the screenplay. Watch this space for a discussion about Labyrinth and MirrorMask. In the mean time, go to IMDB to find out more about the film: MirrorMask on IMDB.

Another theory on Laby potty humor: it was just messing with her head.

Courtesy of Jen Gagne again: I read your point about how the Labyrinth's 'gradeschool boy humor' seemed like the product of the real life men involved in the production, rather than being in-character for a fantasy of Sarah's. But I think it actually made sense that way considering the whole thing was set up to turn her expectations on end and be less temptingly wonderful than she might've originally expected.
