Labyrinth has turned 40, and while the movie itself has aged, so have the adults who relentlessly quote it, many of whom hit the big 4-0 a while back. But it's not just Labyrinth that holds this mystical power over the grown-ups; other children's films have left an indelible mark as well.

Shrek (2001)

Once upon a time, Shrek had everyone feeling delightfully clever and mature at the ripe age of ten. Now, though, in the cold light of adulthood, its endless fairytale parodies seem a little less sophisticated and a lot more like an endless loop of dad jokes.

Labyrinth (1986)

Featuring David Bowie and an eclectic assortment of Muppets, Labyrinth manages to be both oversaturated and underwhelming. And while it might have been one of Bowie's better '80s decisions, quoting the film's iconic 'you remind me of the babe' line in bars still gets you kicked out, or at least it should.

Toy Story 3 (2010)

Yes, it was emotional, and yes, you cried. But let's be honest, you also cry when you hit your head on a cupboard. The toys moved on, and so should you, especially given the questionable sequels that followed.

The Dark Crystal (1982)

Even the most loyal fans of The Dark Crystal will admit it's an acquired taste, one that didn't even survive a Netflix reboot. Sure, the Skeksis are memorable, but memorable in the way that a bad hangover is—unpleasant and best forgotten.

My Neighbour Totoro (1988)

A gateway into the world of anime for many, My Neighbour Totoro is beautiful, yes, but it's also about as action-packed as a rainy afternoon. Totoro might be lovable, but for a creature of few words and even fewer appearances, he sure has a way of staying in adult conversations.

Bambi (1942)

Generations were traumatized by Bambi's tragic storyline, though you’d think the Boomer generation would have been more resilient, given their parents’ war stories. Still, the movie continues to make an impression, leading some, like Molly-Mae Hague, to name their offspring after it—perhaps blissfully unaware of the fate that befalls Bambi's mom.
