I too vote FAKE/CGI.

But I have a problem with my own statement. With CGI getting better and easier each day how are we going to tell a real true picture from a fake. If a real photo of some strange thing came to light would it ever be taken for any thing other than a fake?

When a 10 year old with a home computer can make Hollywood quality CGI can any photo or video be trusted any more?

Remember the old saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" well now days it is not even worth the paper it is printed on

I knew it was fake before even seeing it, and when I saw it and heard it I laughed haha.

The whole thing felt like an obvious setup. Nice fun thou.

It's definitely one of the "sprites" from the film Pan's Labyrinth...

Where can I get a flying baby? Please post a link for that.

It's quite definitely not one of the sprites of the movie - those are copyrighted models and are not freely distributed along the interwabs. Furthermore, this seems to be a completely different model and a different animation cycle of the wings as well - the only resemblance with the 'fairies' from Pan is that it's a flying humanoid. Granted, there aren't a lot of CGI's featuring flying humanoids, but if they put so much work in changing Pan's model to this one, they would've been faster just to create a new one. If there is some kind of wicked software that allows you to extract such a sprite from a 2d movie and then edit it to your own and allow you to put it tracked & lighted in another video - then it might be from the movie.

More to the point, here you can purchase those flying toys I was talking about - not exactly flying barbies though, sorry for that.

CGI. Looks cool though.
