Trivia: Director Guillermo del Toro originally had the fairies from this film designed for a short sequence in his film Hellboy. Modified versions of the fairies are still visible in the Director's Cut DVD, where they can be seen pickled in a jar, though they appear somewhat different. Del Toro later used the exact same fairies from Pan's Labyrinth in Hellboy II: The Golden Army, during the Troll Market scene.
