Wow, definitely worth seeing. If this film is actually good, it looks likely to be actually in the same genre as Labyrinth, instead of a completely failed attempt like the wretchedness that was Mirrormask.
Hmmm, I kind of thought those two were in the same genre - same general type of story, albeit executed completely differently (me review (http://ellyssian.livejournal.com/189195.html).) This one looks to be a lot darker, possibly even a horror film, although hopefully a well done one.
I'm not a big fan of horror per se (there's only a very narrow niche of horror that I like, and anything "slasher" is definitely right out), but I usually think of horror as the dark side of fantasy. Dreams and nightmares, you know. What about horror "wrecks" fantasy for you (if you can put it into words)?
I'm so excited about this film. I love del Toro's 'Devil's Backbone', his spanish language films are always much better than his hollywood ones. In Hellboy there is a brief glimpse of some pickled faeries in a jar, and on the commentary he mentions his next film is dealing with his views on faeries and fairytales (which I suppose must be Pans Labyrinth).
