You should check out Pans Labyrinth Tim. It's spanish so it's subtitled, but don't let that deter you. It's set during the spanish civil war in the 1940's and the little girl goes with her mother to live with her step father who is a captain in the army. He's a fascist dictator type and he only cares about the mother because she's carrying his son. He cares even less about the girl. So she goes exploring one day and finds Pans Labyrinth and the adventure begins. It's a sad movie but also kind of uplifting at the same time. It's a fairy tale but it definately is not for children. There's some brutal violence and don't let the name fool you, there is no Peter Pan or any of that type of stuff. It's more like Grimms fairy tales, but not the watered down, child friendly Disney type, but like the original Grimms tales, which if you've ever read them, are quite scary and brutal. Anyway, I highly recommend it.
