Of course I loved the Bog, and of course I loved Ludo and Sir Didymus and Ambrosius. The masquerade ball is not a favorite part, but a beloved one. quagmire: no ignorance trousers, at least not this time.

Some days I prefer <i>Crystal</i>, other days not so much. I think for me is was that they were for different times: I saw and loved <i>Crystal</i> at a younger age, while <i>Labyrinth</i> conveniently hit me just as I reached my teens. But a <i>Dark Crystal</i> wedding would be AWESOME. Seriously, Garthim ushers? I'd faint with happiness. xadrian: the battle between The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth is for me a daily one.

(that was in Labyrinth, right? Oh geez, I hope my ignorance-trousers are not caught down again ...) As a typical male, my favorite part personally was the farting Bog of Eternal Stench.

Where as the only things in Labyrinth for boys were the goblins and the idea that an old creepy man could woo a teenage girl (only useful the older we got), Dark Crystal was Jen's tale and we saw him take on the same adolescent growth as Sarah. He's left alone and scared and has to fulfill a prophecy he doesn't understand. More simply he has to take what the world gives him and fight for what he feels is right. Along the way he falls in love, which is tough for a young boy. Both stories are full of mentor types but in the end it's the main character's choice to deny the temptations of the Goblin King or heal the crystal. Though I doubt anyone would make a Dark Crystal wedding - but can you imagine the ushers as Garthem? That would be guacamole and cheese covered awesome. That memory is in serious jeopardy with the CGIed second version. I just hope it's not as bad as the other memory thrashings we've had recently.
