Cuarón's direction was a critical success. He took the brightly colored, storybook aesthetic of the first two films and replaced it with a grittier, more naturalistic look, employing a mobile camera and wide-angle lenses. The film was a box office juggernaut, grossing over $796 million worldwide, and was nominated for two Academy Awards, including Best Original Music Score for John Williams's evocative score and Best Visual Effects. Today, it is widely considered a masterpiece of the fantasy genre and a benchmark for young adult filmmaking.
