Holy cats.

For hardcore fairytale geeks like me, Terry Gilliam's movie The Brothers Grimm was a bitter disappointment. The movie wasn't terrible, but it wasn't particularly good, either, and it never conveyed the creepy charm of a well-told fairytale. (Plus, it had Matt Damon in it, and I will NEVER forgive him for Good Will Hunting.) But never fear, gentle readers, Guillermo Del Toro is on the case! Behold:






Mr. Del Toro's new movie is called Pan's Labyrinth, and its story is apparently cobbled together out of lots of different fairytale archetypes.

It. Looks. AWESOME. Seriously, the mere thought of this movie? Makes me giddy.
