* Did Sarah actually pick the right door? It seems like she didn't, since something bad happens right after. However, one of the guards said the wrong door leads to certain death, and she didn't die, so maybe the other door had something even worse behind it?

** it’s not about Sarah being a bad sister it’s more about the stepmother not respecting Sarah‘s personal property and just giving it away without asking And then acting like she hasn’t done any thing wrong, when what she did was actually illegal and then acts like Sarah is the one in the wrong when she’s actually the aggrieved victim. All that has changed in the final scene is the thieving stepmother is taken out of the equation and it is now Sarah‘s choice that’s why she’s got no problem sharing her toys with her brother.

corrections to Connelly's age during filming
**** Connelly was 14 during filming.

** In her defence, she ''was'' only sixteen. And Sarah is a naturally hammy character anyway - since she's obviously very theatrical. I'm guessing some of her tantrums were meant to come across as over the top to show her immaturity.

Added DiffLines:
** Before casting, the movie character was intended to be 16, and promotional material for the film calls her a 16-year-old girl. However, Connelly was 14 during filming, and in the novelization, Sarah is 15. You could make an argument for any of those being the "official" age, which is probably why fan works are inconsistent.

* Two related questions:
** If the Bog Of Eternal Stench really smells as horrible as everyone says how are Sarah and the others able to function at all, instead of vomiting or passing out or something?
** Why is Sir Didymus not bothered by the smell? Has he just been there so long he has "nose blindness" (where you just stop smelling an odor that's constantly around you, whether fair or foul)?

Removal of What An Idiot misuse
Changed line(s) 53 (click to see context) from:
** This was a piece of FridgeBrilliance for me. Every time Sarah is offered a choice - the worm, the two guards, the hands' "Up or down?" - she chooses the 'wrong' way. At first, this seems like just WhatAnIdiot. But, once you remember everything's in Sarah's head, it makes sense - ''she doesn't want to get to the castle''. She keeps choosing the path that leads to her spending more time in the fantasy world, rather than the path that will lead to her growing up.

* It's not nessecarily a trick or contradictory. If you take the labyrinth and Jareth as representing Sarah's imagination than it becomes "give up on living in reality and live the life you want in your fantasies instead." Do as I say (the I here being a literal manifeststion of her desires and fantasies) would mean to give in to her impulses and theatrics and stop caring about the real world, keep moving through the world like she and her imagination are the only ones who matter so she can do whatever she wants.

** Jareth also visits the human world to kidnap Toby, suggesting he has the power to travel between places easily. So if he spies on humans, he'd know more about their culture than Hoggle - who doesn't seem to have travelled outside the Labyrinth.

Bowie's appeal (as Jareth, at least) may be generational...
Added DiffLines:
** May be a generational thing. This troper grew up in the 80's thinking he was pretty handsome in this movie (though not in general), and went through the latter half of the 90's through the entire 00's without understanding why any of the heart-throbs of the age were considered at all physically appealing.
