Will's dad, Edward Bloom, is the teller of the most fantastical flights of fancy, and everyone loves him for it, except Will, whose had to live with the emotionally absent man rather than the imaginative adventurer. Tim Burton's latest film is a visually ravishing return to form, a place of witches and giants, beauty and wonder, and though Ewan Mcgregor is no Johnny Depp, hell……it could have been worse....think Planet of The Apes for god's sake!

LA BELLE ET LA BETE (1946)
CertificationPG Our Rating
Cocteau's version of the famous fairytale which, with its fantastic set design, set standards never bettered. The love story between woman and beast, in a fantasy world inside his enchanted castle, is both erotic and tragic, and this bewilderingly, beautiful and mystifying film is often seen as an allegory for a wounded France recovering from the Nazi occupation. Pure genius.

PAN'S LABYRINTH (2006)
Certification18 Our Rating
Guillermo Del Toro's blockbusting tale of a young girl struggling to make sense of the violent world around her was a big 2006 arthouse hit. Continuing his exploration of the impact of the Spanish Civil War on his generation (it was also the backdrop for his excellent ghost story, The Devil's Backbone) Del Toro's fantasy mixes strong horror with fairytale-style aesthetics to great effect, making Ofelia's escape into an imaginary realm a poignant response to the cruel realities of her existence.
