Great Movie. Very Dark, not advisable for younger kids.
This was probably the best Pinocchio movie that I ever watched, to be honest. It was nothing like the one I grew up watching but had a few dark moments (so stay alert when watching with younger children).
One of the best stop-motion animations, with outstanding pacing and scores. Amazing line of voice casts and kudos for giving very compelling performances throughout the movies. The MVP were Geppetto and Pinocchio.
It was full of Drama, Mystery and Actions. A little bit of Adventure but a movie for the older audiences. Not advisable for children.
Lovely original songs and musical numbers. Amazing storyline, nothing like the original but the ending was really sad and dark. Highly recommended. - agtekiner - 18 February 2024
One of the most interesting animation experiences I've ever had
When it comes to Pinnochio most people are usually really emotional because of the classic and vintage effect on us. So I would not recommend this experience to be fun to people who wait. It is also an excellent warning to people who wait for a good childish experience again.
But in this film, we see religion, fascism, and even modern-day criticism. Also the way Mr. Del Toro made the film which is known as stop motion is not like the old funny, amusing, and childish way.
I think it will be easy to children who don't know any political or religious things. But it will proably be hard to laugh for older and maturer people.
