Labyrinth--getting a new generation hooked

[amelia_petkova]

Recently at work I showed a group of elementary school kids Labyrinth and it was a blast. (I wish that more kids had turned up, but work with what you've got.) Their heads bopped along to the music during the "Dance Magic" and Fiery scenes, and the goblins amused them a lot. The Bog of Eternal Stench also got some giggles and lots of "Ew!"'s. I think the part they laughed the most at was, "Your mother is a fragging aarkvark!"

Turns out that a couple of the girls had seen it already. When their mother came to pick them up, she showed me that one of her arms is almost completely covered with tattoos of the Labyrinth characters.

Now I wonder if any of them will try to wish away their siblings.
