The 20th anniversary celebration of Guillermo del Toro’s dark fantasy “Pan’s Labyrinth” continues as Cineverse announces VOD and physical media release dates for the film’s 20th anniversary edition.
The 4K restoration — supervised directly by del Toro from the original 35mm camera negative — is currently available to own on digital platforms, with digital video-on-demand (VOD) rentals launching Dec. 8.
The home entertainment launch follows a theatrical re-release, which included first-time 4K and 3D releases and grossed over $2 million at the box office. Demand for physical media editions has reached an unprecedented high, with the title setting the record as the number one home entertainment pre-order in Cineverse history.
While the Amazon-exclusive 4K Steelbook sold out almost instantly, a nationwide 4K Ultra HD Steelbook featuring exclusive box art, alongside a standard Blu-ray Collector’s Edition, will arrive at major retailers on Dec. 1. Due to overwhelming consumer demand, Cineverse will issue an additional 4K + Blu-ray Collector’s Edition on Dec. 29.
The anniversary editions pack an array of new and legacy bonus features:
- Retrospective Doc (New)
- Actors on Pan’s (New)
- Directors on Pan (New)
- The Power of the Myth Featurette
- Pan and The Fairies
- The Color and Shape Featurette
- The Melody Echoes the Fairytale Featurette
- 2007 Original Director Commentary
Set in 1944 in the grim aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, “Pan’s Labyrinth” follows young Ofelia (Ivana Baquero), who moves to the countryside with her pregnant mother to join her stepfather, the tyrannical Captain Vidal (Sergi López). Seeking refuge from the brutal realities around her, Ofelia discovers a hidden labyrinth and meets an enigmatic Faun (Doug Jones), who offers her a path to reclaim her identity as a lost princess through three dangerous tasks.
Nominated for six Academy Awards in 2007, the film won three Oscars, including Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, and Best Makeup. It remains one of the most critically acclaimed fantasy-horror films of the 21st century, holding a 95% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
