After Thoughts
Another great, fun, and dark journey from Guillermo Del Toro! This is by far the best adaptation of Pinocchio from 2022! I love claymation movies, so when I saw Guillermo Del Toro was doing a claymation film I was stoked. Ewan McGregor and David Bradley were amazing in this film, thier voice work were superb! It was also a blast trying to figure out who was voiced by Ron Perlman 😅😅. Also Guillermo Del Toro's work really shines in the afterlife parts and with the Spirits. I also really really loved seeing the story of Geppetto before he made Pinocchio. I think that really added a lot to the story and made Geppetto my favorite character! - dominikahornakova - 6 January 2023
Pinocchio is not a fairy tale
Altough there were some bright moments (for example he most touching scene for me was when young solider refused to obey his father and other scenes with very nice moral compass referenes). But there were just few and even those were lost somewhere in very flat storytelling. I felt very dissapointed after watching this movie - it was too dark, too much drama, annoying scens, voices, annoying behavior of the main character ..... after all I had to make a break from movie and continue to watching it after one week because I really want to understand why is this movie so applauded. But sorry, I didnt find it there.
I suppose it is not appropriate movie for young children.
