Labyrinth

Labyrinth is a 1986 film by Jim Henson, featuring a fifteen year old girl, David Bowie in very tight leggings, and a lot of muppets. There is also an English-language manga titled Return to Labyrinth that is a sequel to the original film. There was also a novelization written by A.C.H. Smith. The book mostly follows the movie close, although it goes deeper into the thoughts and motivations of the characters, but some details are different and the overall tone of the book is darker and grimier than in the movie.

This canon is especially relevant to the PPC for several reasons. For one, it contains a canon instance of Trans-Dimensional Hopping: a girl named Sarah adventures into a fantasy goblin kingdom to save her baby brother. Second, the antagonist Jareth the Goblin King is played by David Bowie and is considered by many fans to be fairly sexy. Third, Jareth is attracted to the leading girl who some interpret to be slightly corny-- but due to a goofy acting performance rather than just being stupid. Thankfully, Sarah does have her flaws and manages to overcome them to finally rescue her brother-- so she manages to be just a doofy kid rather than an incredibly painful Canon Sue.

In particular, many fangirls (and... perhaps some fanboys...) have Jareth the Goblin King as a lust object, so bad romance and Mary Sues are a distinct possibility. Many fangirls age-up Sarah from 15 before they make her romance the Goblin King, mostly because David Bowie and a 15 year old girl might be considered squicky depending on where you are and what the local age of consent is.
