Since its release back in 2006, the film has grown into a cult classic perfectly encapsulating Guillermo del Toro's signature directorial aesthetic.Known for its whimsical gothic world-building and downright terrifying creature effects, Pan's Labyrinth has stood the test of time across the past two decades, demonstrating the rich artistry to be found in filmmaking. Equal parts eerie and enchanting, this anniversary movie poster is the perfect homage to its cinematic legacy.A post shared by James Jean (@jamesjeanart)A photo posted by on Created by extraordinary artist James Jean (the creator behind the equally beautiful Frankenstein poster), the new Pan's Labyrinth anniversary artwork is an artfully crafted homage.

At the centre, Ofelia resides atop the crouching figure of the haunting pale man.

Above the girl looms Pan, delicate and ethereal, blending with the natural imagery of the piece.
