“We took enormous chances on this movie,” concludes Navarro, drawing a connection between the lessons Ofelia learns and the concepts governing the creation of Pan’s Labyrinth. “It’s a movie about choices and disobedience. Disobedience puts you at risk, but it’s also what you need; you cannot just follow the rules, you need to take chances. We adopted that as our rule. I did things on this film that I’ve never done before, and that in another context would have been interpreted as wrong, and I feel it’s one of the best movies I’ve done.”
