DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Guillermo del Toro Mexico

His filmography obsessively explores mythical beasts as metaphors for beauty, otherness, and humanity, from the faun in Pan's Labyrinth to the amphibian creature in The Shape of Water.

 Hayao Miyazaki Japan

He crafts visually stunning narratives where mythical beasts—dragons, spirits, and fantastical creatures—are central to exploring human connection and environmental themes.
