For every movie Guillermo del Toro<\/a> makes, there are two or three that he doesn’t. That’s just one topic the Mexican auteur touched on during a 90-minute masterclass at the animation-themed Annecy Festival, which found him in self-deprecating mode: \u201cMy statistics are very bad,” he said. “I have written 24 screenplays.
