Jim Henson's coming-of-age story of fifteen-year-old Sarah who must accept that life isn't always fair and often filled with men who want her submission. Eerie childhood film upon closer examination glances at gangs of men who want to r*pe and behead her, an older man who wants to seduce her, and a date rape drug presented in the form as a poisoned peach. Absolutely genius. So much thought put into the making of this film and every song, every line, every spec of glitter has purpose.
I can understand initial confusing during the first watch but if you are a woman you can certainly relate to how men constantly try to use and abuse her throughout the film and ends in her telling the man in charge, the Goblin King, that he "has no power over her." We give men the power and we can take it back.
