Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio

"This is a beautifully presented stop motion Pinocchio 🤥 adventure. Some of the content is certainly for older children, and of course, adults. The voice acting of each character is just perfect."

"I liked it, but I feel like it could have been so much more. It feels closer to a story out of Grimms Fairy Tales, but it's still a family movie, so it feels like a lot of that darker potential was wasted. The stop motion is flawless though, I totally forgot it wasn't a 3DGC movie at times. "

"I now fully understand why this film won Best Animated Feature. I haven’t gotten so emotional over the first ten minutes of a film since Up. I was tearing up the entire 2 hours both from the heart-wrenching story and the beautiful animation. This entire film is stunningly unique. Everything about it pleasantly surprised me, from the morbid origins of Pinocchio’s creation to the haunting setting of fascist 1940s Italy. It’s a beautifully unexpected film and I adore it. I believe it cemented Guillermo del Toro as one of my top 10 favorite directors of all time."

"So I didn’t expect this to be a musical essentially which was a nice surprise mostly cause the music was really good and fun. I like the whole looking at death, war, and loss through a child’s lens, a child who can never really die himself. It tells you this classic story with beautiful stop motion..I’m a sucker for stop motion and love what people are doing with it and this movie is no exception. I’m just happy stop motion wasn’t swept under the rug and forgotten with the popularity of computer animation and I hope they do more cool things with it. Also the end made me cry like a little baby. 👶🏻👍🏻"

"I've never seen any of the pinocchio movies before, so I went in only knowing hes a puppet that wants to be a real boy and his nose grows when he lies. That said, I kinda dont wanna watch any of the other versions now, because this one was so good. The cultural and historical references made it more real, the art style so unique, and while I wasnt a huge fan of the music, it worked for the film and characters. "

"This is STUNNING. Some of the shots took months to film😱"

"Loved it ! Def a more mature persons version of Pinocchio. Def made me tear up a bit 🥲♥️"

"This is the first Pinocchio, at least that I remember, showing the kid die. Well they don’t actually show show it, but you know what I mean. They sing randomly and they can’t sing at all. The movie just started off sad and was so boring and annoying I turned it off. "

"Not a fan of any other Pinocchio movie, but this one is spectacular. Just wow. Highly recommend! "

"Beautiful and artistic movie by one of the best directors Guillermo del Toro. It was a beautiful story told so many times, yet the mind of Mr. Del Toro is something else, one of a kind."
