- "'I wanted Pan's Labyrinth to speak to the true origin of fairy tales, which were conceived to be parables told by the fire -- mostly by a traveling tailor or cobbler -- to the entire household,' Del Toro says. `They needed to enrapture adults as well as children, and more often than not, they contained very brutal situations: incest, cannibalism, patricide, infanticide, war, pestilence. They were very brutal, but out of that brutality and darkness, the magic glows deeper. Over the years, people sanitized them. But we forget that at the end of The Little Mermaid, the mermaid dies. And that Cinderella's sisters have to amputate their toes to fit into their shoes.'"
