Pan's Labyrinth - Fauno - Funko Pop! (603) - (Pop In A Box)
The Faun (also known as Pan) is a creature that informs Ofelia of her true identity as Princess Moanna and guides her through the tasks that will allow her to return to the Underworld to be with her true parents.
According to Guillermo del Toro, the Faun is "a creature that is neither good or evil....like nature....a character there to be witness and shephard her (Ofelia) in her rite of passage, but he has no agenda. He doesn't care if she dies or lives." In spite of this, it is strongly implied that the Faun lusts after or loves Ofelia/Moanna.
After Ofelia completes the first task, she reunites with Faun inside the labyrinth, where she notices a statue of a Faun, a woman, and a baby. The Faun explains that the statue is of him and her, and although it is not stated explicitly, we can assume that the baby is theirs. If this is true, then one of two theories are correct. Either the Faun and Moanna were lovers or spouses in the Underworld and raised a child, or the Faun can predict the future and knows that he is destined to be Moanna's husband and father of her child.
Ofelia's feelings towards the Faun are complicated. She wants to trust him and often views him as a source of comfort, like the father figure that the ruthless Captain will never be. After completing the first task, she grows uncomfortable with him as he strokes her face and tells her that they will soon be reunited and walk through the seven gardens of her palace. She asks him, "How do I know you speak the truth?" As much as she wants to believe him, she questions his motives. This and the Faun's indifference towards Carmen's health lead to her disobeying him as she carries out the next two tasks.

Pan's Labyrinth (Spanish: El laberinto del fauno, lit. 'The Labyrinth of the Faun') is a 2006 Mexican/Spanish dark fantasy drama film written and directed by Guillermo del Toro. It was produced and distributed internationally by Esperanto Filmoj and Warner Bros., while Picturehouse handled US distribution rights.
The story takes place in Spain during the summer of 1944, five years after the Spanish Civil War, during the early Francoist period. The narrative intertwines this real world with a mythical world centered on an overgrown, abandoned labyrinth and a mysterious faun creature, with whom the main character, Ofelia, interacts. Ofelia's stepfather, the Falangist Captain Vidal, hunts the Spanish Maquis who fight against the Francoist regime in the region, while Ofelia's pregnant mother Carmen grows increasingly ill. Ofelia meets several strange and magical creatures who become central to her story, leading her through the trials of the old labyrinth garden. The film employs make-up, animatronics, and CGI effects to bring life to its creatures.
Del Toro stated that he considers the story to be a parable, influenced by fairy tales, and that it addresses and continues themes related to his earlier film The Devil's Backbone (2001), to which Pan's Labyrinth is a spiritual successor, according to del Toro in his director's DVD commentary. The original Spanish title refers to the fauns of Roman mythology, while the English, German and French titles refer specifically to the faun-like Greek deityPan. However, del Toro has stated that the faun in the film is not Pan.
The film premiered at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. It was released in the United Kingdom on 24 November 2006. In the United States and Canada, the film was given a limited release on 29 December 2006, with a wide release on 19 January 2007. Pan's Labyrinth opened to widespread critical acclaim. The film won numerous international awards, including three Academy Awards, three BAFTA Awards including Best Film Not in the English Language, the Ariel Award for Best Picture, the Saturn Awards for Best International Film and Best Performance by a Younger Actor for Ivana Baquero and the 2007 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form.
