I can’t think of a good Labyrinth-related poll to post right now, so for the next poll, I’m curious which upcoming fantasy film folks are most excited about. There have been so many good trailers likely, I’m more excited about going to the movies than I have been in years. Harry’s come and gone, Ponyo’s made her splash and District 9’s integrated in our imaginations. What’s the next winner? Feel free to point out any omissions you think belong there or duke it out over your choice in the comments .

The ultimate ’80s fantasy movie showdown poll is now closed and the consensus is clear. Princess Bride won by a landslide, followed by the Neverending Story and the Last Unicorn. Maybe it wasn’t quite fair to rank the accessible and much-loved PB up against a list of largely costume and creature flicks, but there’s no doubt it’s a film at the top of its genre.

There’s a new poll up asking which minor character from the film you’d most like to see again. I will say right now that Ludo, Hoggle and Didymus will appear (it wouldn’t be right for them to miss the finale!), but of these other characters, I’m curious which fans of the film would most like to see.

Also, are there any particular bit players I overlooked list that you miss? Share them in the comments!

The first poll was quite a hit, and the results were clear — when in the Labyrinth, most folks want Moppet by their side, and I can’t blame them! She certainly knows her way around the twists and turns better than most, and unlike the Goblins, she is fluent in both nonsense AND logic. Poor Drumlin came in dead last. Fitting, I suppose, but she could perhaps her essence influenced a few people to vote Mizumi?

Anyway, for the second Poll, I thought I’d drag up the eternal question — Which 80s Fantasy Flic is your favorite. And no, you can’t vote Labyrinth! I had to go Neverending Story, but I can honestly say that every movie on that list has a special place in my heart.  Vote in the poll and defend your choice in the comments should you so choose.

There’s a new feature on the Gobblin.net homepage — polls! The first poll launches today. It’s over there on the sidebar, just below the tag cloud–you can’t miss it! We’ll start with a pretty straight forward one:

“Which Return to Labyrinth chareter would you want by your side when trying to solve the Labyrinth?”

It’s a popularity contest…with a twist. Feel free to talk about why you picked who you picked in the comments below this post.  For those of you waiting for answers on the Q&A, I’ll start answering tomorrow.  Cheers!
