Near the end, when the captain is walking out of the labyrinth holding the baby, you can tell it's a dummy. The baby does not move in the slightest, you can't even see it breathe. See more...
Director Guillermo del Toro originally had the fairies from this film designed for a short sequence in his film Hellboy. Modified versions of the fairies are still visible in the Director's Cut DVD, where they can be seen pickled in a jar, though they appear somewhat different. Del Toro later used the exact same fairies from Pan's Labyrinth in Hellboy II: The Golden Army, during the Troll Market scene. See more...

All realistic indication by the end of the movie points to the fantasy actually being real, based on strong evidence. (Such as the magical door and chalk, etc.) Is there any strong theories that the fantasy is not real? I know is is ultimately up to the viewer to decide, I am just curious as to whether or not there is any concrete proof the fantasy might not be real.
Could Ofelia's second task possibly have been to kill the Pale Man? Because after she retrieved the dagger the faeries flew towards the Pale Man before Ofelia picked the grape. [I saw nothing in the movie indicating that. Ofelia's task seemed to be to retrieve the blade, she failed because she didn't follow Pan's instructions about not touching the food.]
