Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio

2022

★★★★½ Liked

This little wooden boy loves hot chocolate, and hates fascists.

Guillermo Del Toro and Mark Gustafson are at the peak of their storytelling prowess here! They breathe new life into the old wooden tale that we all know of. This dark retelling of a father-son story resonates emotionally deeper than any previous iterations.
This one's a near-perfect creation of stop-motion animation, fantasy, musical and fairytale. Heartbreaking as well as heartwarming, and easily one of the best and most beautiful ensemble films of 2022.
