no comparison between this and LOTR -- two very different movie genres.
*spoiler alert*
I think Pan's is mis-sold as a "fairy tale for adults."
Really, it is what it is -- it's a sad tale about a little girl who would rather imagine she is caught in a fairy tale than face the horrific world around her. All she has ever known other than the Spanish Civil War is her fairy tales, and sadly she can't imagine a fairy tale that isn't full of ugliness and despair (see the toad, the creepy thing with eyes in his hands, etc....). Very sad.
Cheers
