Pan’s Labyrinth is arguably one of Guillermo del Toro’s greatest masterpieces. In fact, for a lot of people who grew up in the 90s and 2000s, this dark fantasy movie was their first introduction to Guillermo del Toro’s brand of weirdness in general. It’s a brand of weirdness that feels distinctly Spanish, reflecting del Toro’s heritage and giving his horror its own unique feel to it that no one can match. This was true for Pan’s Labyrinth when it made its theatrical debut all the way back in October 11, 2006; and it continues to be true even to the present day in 2026, with fans all in agreement given how this movie has consistently appeared in critics’ lists of best movies of the decade. Mayhaps this why this particular movie is getting such a special treat for its 20th birthday.
Cineverse is proud to announce that they will release special editions of Pan’s Labyrinth on home video for its 20th anniversary. These special editions will consist of a shiny Collector’s Edition Steelbook that contains both the 4K version and a Blu-ray, and a Blu-ray Collector’s Edition that as the name suggests consists only of the Blu-ray. Both versions will be available to purchase starting on December 1, 2026. However, there will be another 4K + Blu-ray Collector’s Edition that will contain the 4K and the Blu-ray minus the shiny SteelBook that will be available on December 29, 2026 if you want a cheaper way to get both versions. If you can’t wait for the physical versions though, then you can download the digital version right now, and will become available to digitally rent (VOD) on December 8, 2026.
As part of this announcement, Cineverse also has a trailer for the 20th anniversary of Pan’s Labyrinth for us today. You can check it out either on YouTube, or just look below for that and the special features included with all of the Collector’s Edition:

Synopsis
Pan’s Labyrinth takes place in 1944, in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War. Young Ofelia and her pregnant mother have been brought to live in the countryside, where her brutal stepfather Captain Vidal’s job is to wipe out the remaining rebels camped in the local forest. Nearby, in a hidden labyrinth, Ofelia meets an ageless Faun, who tells her that she is really a princess from an enchanted world. He gives her three tasks which she must complete in order to reclaim her rightful place. As her mother’s failing health threatens the life of her unborn child, Ofelia undertakes a quest to complete the Faun’s tasks. Written and directed by del Toro, and produced by his company, Tequila Gang, the film stars Ivana Baquero, Maribel Verdu (Y tu mama tambien), Doug Jones (Hellboy II), and Sergi Lopez (Dirty Pretty Things). The film was nominated in six categories at the 79th Academy Awards® (2007) and took home three Oscar® wins – in the Best Achievement in Cinematography, Best Achievement in Art Direction and Best Achievement in Makeup categories. Across all awards, the film has received 106 wins from 115 nominations. It also earned critical acclaim, including top film of 2006 by the legendary Roger Ebert, and is Certified Fresh by Rotten Tomatoes with a 95% Tomatometer score.
