Welcome back to trending. It's time for our flashback Fields.
Guillermo, Del Toro's fantasy horror.
Classic Pan's Labyrinth is celebrating its 16th anniversary today.
How the spanish language movie first hit theaters on october 20th 2006.
The movie intertwines history and fiction taking place in Spain in 1944.
5 years after the spanish civil war,
it follows the young stepdaughter of a sadistic army officer who discovers a fan
the world and interacts with magical creatures and the two
most iconic creatures are played by actor Doug jones.
He recently joined trending and spoke about bringing to life
some of Del Toro's most legendary monsters take a look.
He is the one who he's the director and writer
who brought monsters back to the forefront as movie stars,
you know from the old era, like the old classic universal monsters,
you know, they were touted and they were revered on posters, you know,
that's the movie.
Uh and then monsters became something else like, you know,
running down hallways and screeching after people.
Uh but then now Guillermo gave them sympathetic storylines again
and uh and dialogue whether verbal or nonverbal only.
Del Toro is the director who could pull that off.
And Pan's Labyrinth went on to win three Oscars
grossed more than $37 million in north America and turned
Guillermo Del Toro into a household name.
It was dubbed one of the greatest fantasy films
of all time by legendary movie critic Roger Ebert.
Absolutely. And that does it for this edition of trending.
