The storytelling… is unashamedly old-fashioned, and forays into the political and the macabre are all carefully tailored to younger viewers.

Guillermo del Toro’s perspective runs through every frame of this unique retelling, which isn’t afraid to tackle troubling themes. A sincere, soulful exploration of what it means to be human.

TOP CRITIC
You’ve never seen a Pinocchio like this one, a funny, touching and vital masterpiece from del Toro that uses stop-motion animation to create a world of beauty and terror to get lost in. The Oscar for best animated feature belongs right here.

TOP CRITIC
Del Toro saddles up with stop-motion animation legend Mark Gustafson to present some of the year’s most stunning visuals but also goes a step further by adding some weighty thoughts on war, death, and family to the beloved Carlo Collodi fairy tale.

This is rich with macabre imagination and tiptoes between dreaminess and nightmarishness.

TOP CRITIC
Ultimately, this “Pinocchio” is a reflection on loss, on fear, on how things end, told with wistful resignation.

TOP CRITIC
This retelling of Carlo Collodi’s novel about a wooden puppet who comes to life and dreams of becoming a real boy looks outstanding. The movie’s animation artistry is superb. It’s one of my favorite movies of the year.

del Toro, del Toro, del Toro, this is what I’ve been missing, a take on a classic that refuels it with wonder. This Pinocchio invites us to explore the meaning of and our love for this property with excitement for the first time or all over again.

Pinocchio works better when viewed as an artistic vision rather than as a traditional movie.

The simple fact is that Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio is too adult for children and too childish for adults.
