I wholeheartedly agree, Sleaze! This is one of my favorite movies and is highly creative and imaginative (it did win an Oscar for Best Foreign Movie). Even if it does have subtitles. My daughter and I watch it every time it's on cable. (Is that little girls stepdad a SOB or what? And that creature that has a taste for little kids and its eyes in it hands. Man, that thing creeps me out!) Mark

In it the brave little protagonist flees the horror of the Spanish civil war by following a magical stick insect into a labyrinth. Among other adventures, Pan, the resident diety, tasks her with resuscitating the health of an ancient fig tree being poisoned by a gigantic toad living beneath its roots. She crawls in through the mud while huge palmetto bugs (Eurycotis floridana <http://bugguide.net/node/view/33670/bgimage> ) crawl all over her. Her task is to place three magic stones in the toad's belly, so when the 350 lbs toad starts sucking the bugs off her face with his ten foot long tongue she get the idea of adding the stones to the mix. Muy effectivo! I highly recommend the flic! Sleazeweazel
