Why Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio scores this way
A stop-motion retelling of the wooden-boy tale set in Fascist-era Italy, where a grieving woodcarver's creation grapples with mortality and obedience. Visually striking but somber and mature, with themes of death, war, and loss, plus some frightening imagery; more an adult-oriented fairy tale than a young children's film.
