Here's are the answers for April's quiz:
10. a. The Goblin King arrives in his animal form of an owl. This is a nod to the owl that swooped past in the opening credits. That owl was CGI and is one of the earliest uses of CGI in a feature film.
11. c. Jareth is the real name of the Goblin King. Despite his title, he is not a goblin. Early drafts of the script had him as a goblinesque puppet, until Jim Henson decided he should be played by a human actor, preferably a musician.
12. c. After Henson decided that Jareth should be played by a musician to help steer the soundtrack of the film, a few contenders stood out as options. Michael Jackson was a front runner, and Prince and Mick Jagger were also considered. Henson wanted to go with Sting, but his kids persuaded him that Bowie, fresh off the release of the popular "Let's Dance" album, would be the best choice.

How did everyone do?

I guessed them right but I think it's because some of the previous questions clued me in to the answers :-)
