Yeah because the Baby Eating Bishop of Bath and Wells would have never existed....

In any case, I haven't seen this movie, would anyone recommend it?

....I was disappointed. The mythical critters never attacked the people with guns. Lacking in pwnage.

horrid, violent, historic?

too fantastical, like lady in the water, but without the insistence of it being a 'story', nice cgi stick insect fairy though, also the root baby thing under the bed, two movies splattered into one, i didn't think it worked too well, both parts are very good but not in the same 2hr movie.

could have had some tf/ap on the girl but nooo... she just lived happily ever after

Pan's Labyrinth is a story about a child's imagination that she takes herself to either out of her own basic personality or as an escape from the post-Civil War world she lives in. To use two plots in the same movie was a good step for the writer/director Guillermo del Toro. It does not only tell about Pan's struggles in this world, but the struggle of a few other choice characters. To chop the other characters off to create a story only about Pan would be not so good. It would have dumbed it down for the mainstream, but it would have killed a lot of good story and dramatic sequences. Especially by the end, you see why the two stories are needed as they intersect. I wish not to ruin the story so I will not get into the details.

In the end, Pan's Labyrinth is on top of my recommend list as it does a good job of telling what seems to be a nice fairy tale story as it contrasts with what a terrible place the real world could be.

I agree with what Sutibaru the movie was great. Pan's also on my list of best movies i've seen in awhile. with ultra violet and spider-man 3 being on the top worst movies i've seen in awhile.

well, all right then.... it is a movie(s) of diametrically apposed simulacrum's, where the real and no real are twix and twain or both the real and the not so, to say that it has a good plot, as it has, historically, is correct, but the underlying narrative of the pan mythos, is, in a way, the typical formulaic route for writers to sign and signify the escape we all need in our lives, and joe public is given this 24/7, in both fiction and social commentary programs, reality TV..judge judy, CNN.

Its a good movie, don't get me wrong, but it don't pass muster plot-wise in my book..
