While Hollywood has given the theatergoers and streamers alike a barrage of versatile directors, Guillermo del Toro and his army of unique interpretations stand in a league of their own. While the filmmaker has collected hearts and awards for his recent work in Frankenstein and Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio, his timeless brilliance in 2006's Pan's Labyrinth is witnessing a resurgence.

As the movie turns twenty, audiences can witness the cinematic phenomenon that is Pan's Labyrinth not just online but also in theaters.

On the occasion of its 20th birthday, Pan's Labyrinth is returning to the theatres. Cineverse, which acquired the rights to the movie in 2025, has joined hands with Fathom Entertainment to make a theatrical re-release of Pan's Labyrinth possible on October 9. For streaming audiences, the movie is available to watch online in the United States on Prime Video, both renting and buying.

The movie's availability on streaming differs depending on the location, with countries like South Korea and India having the option to stream Pan's Labyrinth on Netflix. Given how the movie still remains a subject of discussion, for first-time viewers the excitement is palpable.

The three Oscars Pan's Labyrinth won, for cinematography, art direction, and makeup, all reward the same thing: a dark fairy tale you can almost touch.

Set in Spain in 1944, Pan's Labyrinth follows Ofelia, a young girl who moves with her pregnant mother to a remote military outpost run by her cruel stepfather, Captain Vidal, a captain in Francisco Franco's army who is hunting down rebel fighters in the surrounding woods.

Seeking an escape from the violence around her, Ofelia discovers an ancient labyrinth and meets a mysterious faun. He tells her she may be the long-lost princess of an underground kingdom, but she must complete three dangerous tasks to prove it.

As Ofelia's fantasy quests grow darker, the real-world conflict closes in. Del Toro weaves the two together into a fairy tale for adults.
