With this being the third rendition of the pinnochio story in 2022, it's not surprising to here audiences fatigued by the over-used classic storyline. Don't be fooled, this film is not like the others.
Guerillmo Del Toro leaves nothing off the table. A 2 hour runtime for a children's movie may seem long, but I assure you, the film has plenty to keep you engaged. The story juggles with themes that transcend across all generations. It has everything from the subtle crosshairs between Abusive Capitalism and Authoritarian Fascism, to the masculine conflict in the Father-Son relationship, and even just the simple recognition of the fragility of life while appreciating all of its wonderful qualities.
This is exactly the kind of story we need right now. Thank you Guillermo for what may be my favorite adaptation of the Pinocchio story ever!
