I saw Pan's Labyrinth this weekend and it was amazing. Guillermo del Toro promised a fairy tale for adults and he did not dissapoint. It was dark and beautiful and horrible and sad.... but in a good way. If I have any complaint it's that i'd like to have seen more of the fantasy world. When I came home I did a few scribbles of the characters. I wouldn't be surprised if they start showing up in my sketchbook more often.

Have you seen The Devil's Backbone? Just watched it recently and it's quite good. The ending is even more satisfying, in a way.
I hadn't even heard about it until after i saw Pan's Labyrinth. Read some random article and learned that Pan's Labyrinth is kind of the thematic sequel to The Devil's Backbone.
You're right though - they definately should have spent more time developing the fantasy side of the plot. It would have been interesting to find out more about the Faun's life in the modern/developing world.
