What's that fantasy movie about a girl rescuing her brother?

If I remember it correctly, the teenage girl/young woman has to rescue her brother from a cave of ice or roomful of mirrors or something like that. I think it's based on a fairy tale but I'm not sure which one. An evil queen has imprisoned her brother, and somehow when the sister rescues him the room shatters. I think her father owned an inn.

I might be off on some of the details, because I only saw it once a long time ago. Any ideas? Thanks!

Update:

Nope, it's not Labyrinth. I own that one and I've seen it many times. Nice try, though.

Update 2:

Her brother was older, not a baby.

Update 3:

I think I figured it out, although I'm not completely 100% positive. But I think it's Snow Queen.

Apparently she rescued her boyfriend, not her brother.

    I'm just going to suggest a few movies in which there is an evil queen and mirrors but I'm leaning toward the first movie -- even though I can't remember what becomes of the defeated queen:

    Kvitebjørn Kong Valemon (1991) aka The Polar Bear King

    A young woman travels to Winterland to rescue a prince (her husband) who has been kept in a castle by an evil witch/queen.

    Storybook (1996)

    A boy rescues a prince who is kept in a castle by an evil queen who admires herself in the mirror.

    The Snow Queen (1995) -- an animated movie?

    This movie is basically about a young girl's (Ellie's) journey to find her older brother (Tom) after they hitch a ride with the Snow Queen's sleigh. Her only companion on her quest is a sparrow named Peeps.

    This all happens when a mirror that belongs to the queen breaks into a thousand pieces and 2 of the pieces get lodged in Tom's heart and eye. This turns the boy evil and cold hearted. The snow queen then forces him to put her mirror back together because he is very good at doing puzzles.

    EDIT: My next suggestion was going to be Snow Queen (2002) w/ Bridget Fonda.

    I agree! I think that's the film you're looking for. It begins with the father who owns a modern-day hotel.
