A classic tale is reborn through the inspired imagination of cinematic dream-weaver Guillermo del Toro, directing alongside Mark Gustafson. Realized through boundary-pushing, breathtakingly intricate stop-motion animation, this dark rendering of the fable of the puppet boy and his maker daringly transfers the story to Fascist Italy, where the irrepressible Pinocchio gradually learns what it means to be human through his experiences of war, death, and sacrifice. This Pinocchio imbues the oft-told tale with a bold new resonance about living with courage and compassion.
Pre-order Pinocchio.

Official Beetlejuice 2 posters.
A friend sent them to me, no idea where they're from, sorry.
Something's a little off here. His moss looks more like sideburns.
I always thought of Wednesday Addams as Lydia's biological mother. Weird to see the roles reversed.
And Beetlejuice's first wife.
I see what you did there, Burton.
Danny DeVito is credited in this. But no idea if he appears, if he's a voice, or what.
And
Burn is a great British (yes, he was born in the U.S.) character actor (Bleak House, And Then There Were None) I'd go to this just to see him.
"Father Damien." I see what you did there, Burton. ;-)

A pity this got lost with the sea of the Pinocchio remakes. Everything about it is well-made. From the writing to the animation to the voices to the setting and themes.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
Movies watched in 2022
Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (USA, Mexico)
Directors: Guillermo del Toro & Mark Gustafson
Writers: Guillermo del Toro & Patrick McHale (story by Guillermo del Toro & Matthew Robbins)
Mini-review:
This is exactly what I expected from Guillermo del Toro's take on Pinocchio: it's dark, haunting, tragic and, yet, somewhat hopeful. What's more, the historical setting allows for a refreshing version of the story that also takes on themes like fascism, which sadly resonates with current times. The animation and the character designs are brilliant and gorgeous, and it's clear an immense amount of love and passion went into making this film.
Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio will break your heart (several times, in fact), but by the end you'll feel like you've learnt (or at least remembered) essential life lessons. Truly one of the best movies of the year and arguably GDT's best since Pan's Labyrinth.

I cried like hell on the first 10-20 minutes.
Geppettoo called his human son Carlo, 'My Golden Son' in his song.
My father called me "Golden Son" in Hungarian. It pulled all the strings of my heart.

Pinocho De Guillermo Del Toro… El Nacimiento De Un Clásico De Nuestra Generación
Pinocho De Guillermo Del Toro… El Nacimiento De Un Clásico De Nuestra Generación
Disney durante décadas nos sedujo con su visión de un mundo perfecto, de gente perfecta y de finales felices, es por eso que hoy en los tiempos que corren, ese tipo de historias son algo ajeno a las personas y es la imperfección, aquellos rechazados, quienes se están abriendo camino en un mundo que se cansó de los finales felices.
