Some of the cast were nominated as well for their acting skills. Ivana Baguero who played the little girl, Ofelia in the movie won an award for being best young actress. That's quite an accomplishment coming from someone her age! I stated earlier that the movie won three academy awards- one for Best Makeup. Best Art Direction and Best Cinematography. Del Toro used vivid colors, graphic scenes and a eye-catching fantasy world filled with creatures that are so out of this world, as well as the descriptive Spanish violence portrayed with sadistic Captain Vidal. This film is highly recommended by those who have seen it, and for those who haven't. I know it seems scary looking at it but don't you judge a book by its cover, it is definetly worth seeing! Pan's Lanbryith took a lot of Del Toro's energy and time, and has now won approval that this is one of the most influential videos that have appeared in our society. Although some people crictized about his work, I believe that Del Toro has some wild imagination which can help us paint a picture in our minds about what it taking place. Del Toro's dedication to this movie really paid off, he's one of a kind. So what are you waiting for?! Trust us! Go watch it!
