Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio is a stop-motion retelling of the Collodi tale set in Mussolini-era Italy. Pinocchio longs to become a real boy, while Geppetto's quiet devotion collides with war, faith, and moral complexity. The film blends dark fairy-tale imagery with human warmth as a wooden boy discovers courage, loyalty, and the cost of choices. Rich puppetry and atmospheric visuals render a haunting, life-affirming fable about belonging. It also weaves family, mortality, and forgiveness into a painterly fantasy.
