- Guillermo Del Toro is fresh off a huge night at the Oscars and the sequel to his Pacific Rim is right around the corner, so WOW does this feel like the right time for a look back at Pan's Labrynth or what?!

This is easily Del Toro's best movie. I'm glad he finally got best picture and best directer Oscars, but he really should have gotten them for Pan's Labyrinth.
HA
Charles Jones I couldn’t believe he lost out to “The Lives of Other”, then I saw it. It was equally exceptional and a non genre picture.
As much as I love The Shape of Water, another Del Toro classic; THIS movie will forever stand as my No.1
Completely agree. He was robbed that year.
wow even Stephen King got squirmy over the same scene that had me squirming and partially covering my face until the very end? that's got to be jackpot!
Didn't phase me in least.
@@corvus1253 what a badass lol
@@lgnd2k3 👍😉
Corvus I watched this when I was 8 and just stared like this 😧
I've watched the movie several dozen times on DVD and the scene STILL creeps manages to creep me out
Lets also not forget the amazing music of the movie
Yes! Javier Navarrete (I think I spelled that wrong) is phenomenal. That soundtrack is absolutely gorgeous. I bought it right after seeing the film back when it first came out.
CineFix should do Top 10 Movie Scores or Soundtracks.
I absolutely LOVE the lullaby
@@sadlobster1 Seriously! My eyes always swell with tears at the sound of it!
In my eyes, Pan's Labyrinth deserves every bit of praise and accolades it's received
According to the dvd prologue, Guillermo said and I quote:
"This movie almost destroyed me, almost killed me. It took away 45 pounds of my body, many sleepless nights and uh, a lot of love."
This is why I love creative types like Guillermo. In spite of any stress they endure; be it physical, mental or emotional/psychological. In the end, all their hard work pays out
I love this movie,my wife and I still argue if Ofelia is the missing princess or just imagining things.
An underappreciated aspect of the movie, in my opinion. It's sad to think that she just added these fantasies to help her cope with the crappy reality that she was living in - but that idea fits so well with how a child like her would deal with such a crappy reality. The fantasy aspect is cool, but the possibility that it was just in her head gives the whole story a bigger emotional impact. To me, the movie does not resolve this question, which is cooler still...
She is the princess
Personally speaking, I think she WAS the princess; just reborn in the body of a human girl
@@homerinchinatown2 There are a few subtle clues that the fantasy is real, like Ofelia's chalk escape, the flower at the end, and the fact that the labyrinth opens for her but not for Vidal.
If the fantasy was not real, then that just makes the whole thing one big "Shoot the Shaggy Dog" story in which Ofelia not only accomplishes nothing, but needlessly endangers her brother as well.
@@Thagomizer I appreciate both points of view about real vs imagined aspects of the movie and I'm not sold on either one. I always go back to the first shot of the movie, where she is lying on the ground with blood flowing reverse back up into her nose. That shot has led me to wonder whether everything we see is the revisionist history from the girl in those dying moments, her desperate effort to create a more meaningful way to see her life - and something inspired by the fairy tales she loved. If that stuff is not true, then the reverse blood flow scene is just an out of place oddity - which would be a strange choice for the first thing to show the audience....
One could argue that everything objectively happened and it's all real - and one could also argue those fantasy parts of the story all come from her and she might not be a reliable 'narrator'. I don't know if I'll ever be convinced that only one of those perspectives is supported by what's in the movie - and that's fine with me. I accept both possibilities....
this movie and Hellboy are what made me fall in love with Guillermo's style to begin with glad he finally got his due he totally deserves it
Have you seen Guillermo del Toro's "Cronos" or "Devil's Backbone"?? If you enjoyed Pans Labyrinth you will probably enjoy those as well. I sure as hell did. The Devil's Backbone is even made in the same Cinematic Universe with both being filmed in Spain and 2 Kids in Devil's Backbone grow up to be 2 soldiers in Pans Labrynth that end up dead in PL unfortunately.
I agree if you can make the king of horror squirm you're the man
he doesnt scare me and im 13...i should mention i deathly afraid of chucky whenever i see it i run around the house screaming soooo idk
@@redsmith6718 horror doesn't always have to make you scared....just horrified.Im 17 and I am not scared either but it has truly kept me in awe especially the pale man that I wish was more explained but nothing the less still one of my favorite "horror"movies
It's not about being scared so much and uncomfortable... the pale man made me uncomfortable af lol
@@redsmith6718 okay but Chucky ain't scary at all tho
This is my favorite del toro movie!
Mine too
Me three
This movie is my favorite movie of all time and I've only watched it once. I just can't bring myself to watch it again. I don't have the emotional stability enough to go through those feels again.
Match Box: Agreed
It’s everyone’s favorite del toro film including mine
When I was still in elementary school I walked into the living room to get to the kitchen,and my dad was watching this movie,and it was Pale Man scene. It screwed me up.
Same here, I watched it with my sister when I was 10. 11 years later I still have nightmares of this creature. That's a good horror movie
great movie. practical effects are better than CGI, this movie is proof.
Creepy Stares I love that other people feel that way. Heck, even the Academy honors - on occasion - the art of practical effects (Ex Machina). Here’s to del Toro continuing with that tradition - as he so masterfully executes with The Shape of Water and Pan’s Labyrinth.
Good Cgi and good makeup goes very well hand in hand.
Creepy Stares not to zack snyder it isn't
while cgi can add value to the experience, it is often overdone. This is another movie that shows that CGI should only be used where it is needed and no further.
Creepy Stares I dislike that people say that practical is great but practical with cgi embellishment is far superior
This is my favorite movie ever. Such a beautiful story with the best practical effects. THE FAWN IS SO AWESOME!!
Weird how timing works. Ive been meaning to watch pans labyrinth for YEARS but never gotten around to it, until yesterday when i watched it, and then today cinefix uploaded this video outta nowhere. Kinda strange.
seriouslyfuckutube Nice! Like a lil check point from the universe saying you are right where you should be ;)
Your Friendly Neighborhood Bitch, Karen yeah something like that haha!
One of the best films ever....probably the best in terms of fantasy...it keeps getting better with every rewatch...my favourite from Del Toro.
The Fall is also another great fantasy film released in the same year and also has similar themes as compared to Pan..
true,one of the best in the fantasy genre. this or big fish, in my opinion
I quite liked the visual aspect of The Fall and I appreciate Tarsem's moxy in creating it...however I always felt like something was missing from it.
Holy crap I LOVE The Fall
If you like Pans Labyrinth then watch del Toros previous film The Devils Backbone. It and Pans Labyrinth are apparently sibling films and I can see why. They both take place during the Spanish civil war and are about a kid. Devils Backbone has a ghost and an evil dude trying to steal gold from an orphanage. It’s great stuff.
Damn straight. Also an underrated movie.
I love Pan's Labyrinth, I love CineFix - I'm a happy guy
Scott Paton- Levin
I adore this movie!
Man, good for you, you dont need many things to be happy, how wholesome!
Who didn’t squirm at the pale man scene? That was straight nightmare fuel on steroids.... bluuuuuugh!
Me lmao he’s not all the creepy I think he’s cooler looking than he is creepy.
I am still terrified of the pale man in Pan's Labyrinth. Just his whole esthetic weirded me out.
I gotta say I love Shape of Water and many other films by him.
That Pale Man is scary enough to give Stephen King nightmares
One of the best movies of all time if you ask me 🙌
Agreed
Agreed!
#4. Doug Jones is just fucking awesome!
czcams.com/video/2VggEmXPnGw/video.html You’ll love this then.
Were truer words ever spoken?
I was genuinely scarred for life from the Pale man 😂 I remember walking into the living room where everyone was watching Pans Labyrinth, it was the scene where he creepily walks through the hallway. I ran out screaming and crying. Didn’t watch the full movie till I was grown up lol
After seeing "The Shape of Water" I had to go back to see "Pan's Labryrinth" (again). I forgot just how great it is. Both movies are masterpieces.
Love that you added the bit about him hating cows! I laughed so hard when I heard that in the commentary track.
Also, GDT's commentarries for his movies are all excellent.
Doug Jones and Gullerimo del Torro are fricking legends.
When I was, like, 10, me and my friend accidentally stumbled across Pan’s Labyrinth while looking for the Labyrinth with David Bowie
We watched until the bottle scene before realizing it wasn’t the right one and it was rated R
One day I’ll try again lol
Same, except I watch the whole thing. I just rewatched it finally 15 years later since I saw it on Netflix and I loved it. But yeah, I found it because of a David Bowie Labyrinth mistake too
Whilst I admire Guillermo Del Toro's darker work and really enjoy The Shape of Water. I love Hellboy II The Golden Army, probably my favourite comic book movie, it just mixes fun and action so well. Just sad he could never make Hellboy 3.
Couldn't have said it better, I have a really good feeling about the Hellboy reboot, I feel like this could be Neil Marshall could do his best work since The Descent and with Mignola and David Harbour involved, hopefully it will at least be authentic to Hellboy.
As good as it may be, seeing David Harbour replace Ron Pearlman as Hellboy is going to just feel wrong. Pearlman so perfectly captured the character it's like imagining someone other than Patrick Stewart playing Xavier.
^^^James McAvoy happened...
Pan's Labyrinth just added to my love for all things fantasy and dark♥️ I can watch it countless times and it'll still take my breath away!
The Pale Man scene is one of my all-time favorite movie scenes. There's more tension and terror in that one scene than most entire horror movies.
I think that The Devil's Backbone is Guillermo Del Toro's most underrated film, and second only to Pan's Labyrinth
It makes me so happy when fantasy is recognized like it should be. Love this movie
Easily one of my favorite movies and definitely my favorite of his. I love it even more knowing how much he did to get it on the screen
It's dark, sad & brutal. But at the same time amazing & beautiful. The creatures are some of the best I've ever seen on screen. I love it.
I was lucky enough to see Del Toro’s sketchbook for Pan’s Labyrinth in person. Definitely in my top 5 all time favorite movies and a masterpiece as well.
I just rewatched the movie yesterday after 10 years.
Still remains hauntingly beautiful.
This was one of the few films I've seen that has the kind of creepy atmosphere that I like.
Siento que debo comentar en español.
"Y dejó tras de sí pequeñas huellas de su paso por el mundo, visibles solo para aquel que sepa donde mirar."
me neither
Simon
"Dejó"
Y se dice que la Princesa regresó al reino de su padre. Que ella reinó allí con justicia y un corazón amable durante muchos siglos. Que ella fue amada por su gente. Y que dejó detrás pequeñas huellas de su tiempo en la Tierra, visibles solo para aquellos que saben dónde mirar.
Simona la monalisa bro!
I love Del Torro's dark and unsettling imagery for fairy tales which are more close to the source material. Kids like to be scarred which many movies are lacking
One of my favorite movies! And yes “The Pale” man still haunts me years later...
Pans labirinth is the best GdT movie so far. Even though Shape of Water is amazing. Nothing can compares to Pan`s music, sweet style and gorgeous macabre violence and characters.
I just wanna say I love your videos. I’m an insanely busy med student, but I love movies and hardly every have time to watch a full one anymore. These little nuggets are like perfectly packaged bonus content from my favorite flicks. Thanks again!
While I admit Pan's Labyrinth is a better movie, as well as the shape of water, I still will always love del toro for his work on the Hellboy movies, specifically the golden army. They were what introduced me to his work and will always love them for it.
Pan's Labyrinth is one of the films that made me want to make movies. This is also the first time I was introduced to Del Toro's work.
Pan's Labyrinth is my favourite movie of all time! I used to be scared of it for so many years, because when I was about 8 I saw the pale man scene and always thought of it as a horror movie, but it truly is an amazing film and I'm glad I gave it a second chance!
One of the best films ever made.
Being from spain, I'm biased and 8 cant choose any other Guillermo del toro movie I was moved an inspired by El laberinto del Fauno . Truly awesome video for a truly awesome movie.
Y el espinazo del diablo?
Ottmar555 la idea de laberintos siempre me ha fascinado y como son un muy buen recurso en la ficción y el aura que desprende me resulta magnética.Es una elección personal al 100 %:D
The idea of labyrinths has always fascinated me and how they're a great resource in fiction and the aura that it has its just magnetic. It's 100 % a personal pick. :D
This is his best
Pan's Labyrinth is definitely my favourite Del Toro film. I'm a huge fan his stuff. The Devil's Backbone is my second favourite, however. It's criminally underrated.
I really like Hellboy. Its aesthetic and costumes really appealed to me as a kid. It was a visually dark but thematically bright and wonderful movie. I still love it!
Thank you! This is one of my fave films of all time :D
Crimson Peak is underrated IMO
Ceeryle Brown Definitely. I love it.
I thought it wasnt bad but the trailers i saw made it seem like it was going to be something different than what it wound up being...
Definitely my favourite film of his just because of it's beauty alone.
Most people hate it because they thought it would be very scary, but it only spooked Stephen King in the end...
It was better than the shape of water.
That movie blew major ass
This is my favorite Del Toro and one of my absolute favorite movies of all time! Thanks for doing this one ;)
This movie is so much better than The shape of water.
Agree.
Sadly, i think Del Toro will never make something as good as PL. It was lighting in the bottle.
Sure, i hope it won't be like that, but looking at his filmography, it's a reasonable assumption.
Ngọc Nguyễn Thái Yes, Shape Of Water did not deserve to win any Oscars.
I agree.
I agree, but also. I was quite happy with Shape of Water. It did kind of feel like the "adult" or at least the "more adult" version of Pans Labyrinth on some aspects.
A long time ago when Blockbuster was still around I was looking around in one and overheard a mother talking to her daughter who picked up the movie and mentioned how it looked interesting and wanted to rent it thinking it was a movie like Narnia probably due to the box art next to the actual blank renting case. I thought in my head "Isn't that movie rated R". I bet that girl is now a traumatized woman. I saw the movie many years later when I was in my 20s and it was pretty gruesome with that bottle scene and I was old at that point.
Atrum Nuntius yea that bottle scene is brutal af, like awful to watch. Ichi the killer was easier to watch than that scene for me lol
Coincidentally enough, I got MY copy at a big DVD sale at Blockbuster
There was a Guillermo Del Toro exhibit at the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario) this past year, and it was a great experience. His notebooks were on display and able to be interacted with as well.
I always look forward to these vids..thanks dude
My favourite movie, thank you CineFix :) Ofc, most of it I've known, however it's alway nice to see these beautiful shots.
As informative and entertaining as always. Great job, CF :)
Thank you CineFix. Pan's Labyrinth is my all time favorite film. Was the only person in the theater when I saw it over 10 years ago
Great vid, thanks!
I love all his movies..especially the shape of water💙
It was the last film my best friend wanted me to see before he died of cancer at the young age of 39
I watch the film every night ( yes , I love to do that )
Wow!! Please keep making videos like these!!! You guys are my new favorite subscription 🎬📽📸🖤
Great video, I love this movie! Also I have Del Toro's book (Cabinets of Curiosities), with all the sketches and creative process. Such a joy to have a glimpsy inside his mind
This has been and always will be my favourite movie, it's such a great mix of fantasy and horror, I adore it
I love Doug Jones, he is insanely nice

This movie is a masterpiece! The fact that it got only (deserved) technical Oscars shows what a joke the prize is.
This was amazing, Pan's Labyrinth has been one of my all time favs ever since first seeing it. I actually think it means that Hellboy are on the weaker side when it comes to his films. You should do one of these on The Devil's Backbone.
Definitly love this movie and Dough Jones is a major sweet heart. Met him at my last convention and had both my Pale man and Faun pops signed by him.
Best Del Toro movies imo:
- Pan's Labyrinth
- The Shape of Water
- The Devil's Backbone
- Crimson Peak
- Cronos
- Hellboy 1 & 2
- Pacific Rim
- Blade 2
I've never seen Mimic so I don't know where to rate that. Though I've heard Del Toro doesn't like it either.
kriitikko I can’t lump together the two Hellboys. The first one is just ok (the reanimated Russian corpse is pretty funny though). The second one is amazing.
The shape of water was terrible
Tracy Mendiola I disagree, as “we” loved The Shape of Water (me, my wife, friends, film-watching group, the Directors Guild, the Producers Guild, the Critics Choice Award, the American Film Institute, and The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences). Of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Tracy Mendiola Could you elaborate?
kriitikko
Mimic was clearly tampered with in a big way, but I saw it 1st back in the day and enjoyed it at the time. I think if you watched it in retrospect, you would probably have issues, but if you lower your expectations you may get something out of it...
The Devil's Backbone is my favorite Guillermo del Toro movie, aside from this one of course.
Thanks for the video ❤🌹
Best Del Torro movie ever! Authentic, creative, and absolutely NIGHTMARE worthy.
I am still waiting for Gillermo's adaptation of "At the Mountains of Madness"
That was the only reason why I was cheering for him at the Oscars.
Vamos, pinche chingado!
I remember when my grandpa allowed me to pick a movie from the movie store when I was little and I chose this one, not knowing that it was dark and scary haha. Good choice though, I loved it.
The fact that the career of Guillermo del Toro exists just makes me happy.
I haven't met a Del Toro movie I didn't like but when I saw the Orphanage I knew he was good. I kept an eye out for his name whenever i was in the DVD section or looking at new movies coming. Pan's is EASILY my favorite. Years after I first watched it I was so absorbed that I forgot it wasn't in english.
My favorite Del Toro movie, although I loved "Shape of Water" and "Hellboy". He has such a vivid imagination. If the Pale Man scene doesn't make you uncomfortable, there is something wrong. So happy he was recognized by his peers.
Pan's Labyrinth is not only my favorite Del Toro movie but my favorite movie, period. My second favorite movie is Shape of Water so...
The actor who portrayed the doctor, Alex Angulo, died a few years ago
D.E.P.
TheFonfur what’s for dep mean
Still manages to surprise and impress all these years later. Wonderful movie!
I was a kid when I watched this and the only thing I remember was the pale man scene. It's been more than a decade and I still remember how creepy that was ughh. I wanna watch it again
I watched this movie because I got dragged to a dinner party and went to watch tv and this was on, couldn't figure out how to change the channel so I just sat through it. Scarred me for life. 9/10
Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. Not just my favourite Del Toro movie, but one of my favourite movies all together.
Del toro is a master, those oscars he won, where not just a personal achievement, for me, those oscars represent all the great classic fantasy, horror and science fiction movies that never got an award, the actors like lon chaney sr and jr, bela lugosi, boris karloff, david prowse, robert englund, bolaji badejo, doug jones, andy serkis, ricou browning, ben chapman etc, and all the writers, directors and staff that made us dream, because sometimes we need those fantasy characters to remember what makes us human.
One of my all time favorite movies is Crimson Peak, it’s actually what turned me on to Del Toro in the first place, please do a Things You Didn’t Know about Crimson Peak!
Loved the use of Animal House in this video!
Holy crap I literally rewatched this movie last night .If I had to pick my favorite ,it's probably Shape of Water, with Pans Labyrinth and Cronos as runner ups , though I also love Hellboy II and Crimson Peak
Before I saw Pans Labyrinth I thought it was a remake of The Labyrinth with ( the one with David Bowie ).
This is an amazing film.
A masterpiece
Love this channel ... BRING BACK THE ROUNDTABLE!!!!
We are just finishing up this movie in my film class, perfect timing!
I believe the Faun he saw every night at midnight was actually outside his window and came out from behind a rock monument...
One of the best quotes/scenes in the movie to show how much of a SOB the general was (much better in spanish)
"You'd do better to tell us everything. But to make sure it happens, I brought along a few tools. Just things you pick up along the way. At first I won't be able to trust you, but after I use this, you'll own up to a few things. When we get to these we'll have developed a... how can I put this? A closer bond, much like brothers. You'll see. And when we get to this one, I'll believe anything you tell me."
I remember watching this with my mother when it came out on dvd and being the "big kid" I was ( I was like 12-13 at the time ) I sat away from her but when the bottle scene happened I screamed and cried and then sat with her for the rest of the movie. Im also pretty sure the Pale man scene had me crying as well XD I loved the movie though and still do to this day!
More of these please. And, when are we going to get "round tables" again. You guys have terrific insight to film study, story analysis and technical observation. PLEASE!!!
Love the videos. Make one about full house or flight of the navigator
