![]() If I could rate this movie 10 stars I absolutely would. The strands of hair, the action sequences, all of it were on point and exquisite. I especially enjoyed the attention to detail in this movie. Pinocchio took over 600 days to make, and it is so amazing to the point where I do not consider it a movie - I consider it art. GTD's Pinocchio is COMPLETELY made in stop motion, one of the most difficult forms of animation out there. I would also like to compliment this movie's animation. Yes, these spirits may be "frightening" for your 4-year-old, but know your child before watching the movie. Also, some people were complaining about the "frightening" guardian spirits that help Pinocchio in this movie. Of course, it is no classical fairytale Disney movie, but that is the beauty of it! Italy and Italians need more representation, and this movie was an accurate depiction of that. I completely understand how you find this a bit violent, but GTD said it himself, this movie is meant for adults, although children can watch it. I have read many reviews across numerous websites and the one thing that seems to be recurring is its level of "violence". It realistically depicts fascist Italy and seamlessly incorporates that into its theme. It is encapsulating to watch and gives the viewer a specialized sense of thrill that is extremely rare to find otherwise. ![]() GTD's Pinocchio is a beautiful, intricate movie with a fascinating storyline. ![]() ( I am a film critic, so here is my view on GDT's Pinocchio) The film delves into questions on the meaning of life and father-son relationships. Language includes a variety of taunts that mostly offer synonyms for "weak" or "worthless," and a song featuring potty language. Some characters are designed in a way that could be unsettling, and some songs and scenes are sad. Imagery includes the fascist military, a crucified Christ, funeral processions, grieving parents who drown their sorrows in alcohol, hurt children, and angry mobs. A man diminishes his son and orders him to shoot his best friend, while another shuts his son in a closet and calls him a "burden." Characters are threatened and injured in a variety of ways, including falls, electric shocks, fires, explosions, fights, accidents, and deadly sea creatures. A character dies but is repeatedly reincarnated. It's set between World Wars in fascist Italy, and both kids and adults are killed by bombs. Parents need to know that Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio is darker and may be potentially scarier for some kids than other adaptations of the classic tale.
