While watching Pan's Labyrinth, I noticed similarities between it and The Chronicles of Narnia, specifically The Lion, The With and The Wardrobe (which I absolutely love, by the way). Both tales involve a secret world and children escaping war. The two films also have a faun-type creature. Apparently, del Torro was asked to direct Narnia, but decided to work on Pan's instead. This is mentioned in the wikipedia article on Pan's Labyrinth.

Very interesting. I didn't think about Narnia, but you're definitely right. I liked Narnia, but I think it would've been even better with del Torro's direction. It probably would've been darker.
