If you missed the run, you NEED to get the DVD! Don't be fooled by the very fairy tale-ish facade of the show, it's more real than a lot of "real" shows I've watched. And the show's in Espanol. =p I'm going to try and get my hands on the soundtrack, it's worth it. The entire soundtrack can be heard on its official site, HERE.



The ending was so unconventional. It left me thinking whether the entire thing was truly real, a fairy encounter, or just the overactive imagination of a little girl. I'm quite leaning towards the latter though, but that made the movie horribly, horribly sad - what kind of real-world horrors would a child have to go through to spin such intricate and frightful webs of escapism?

My only gripes are threefold:

1. The stupid toad thing. It was quite ridiculous, why did the toad have to eat the bugs she gave it, when it had plenty around?

2. The stupid grape thing. That was just plain stupid. The girl wasn't starving, that's for sure.

3. The ending song, Mercedes' lullaby (Nana del laberinto del fauno) - the haunting tune and final scene got stuck in my head for days.
