Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio	comment	Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (or simply Pinocchio) is a 2022 stop-motion animated film from, unsurprisingly, Guillermo del Toro; and produced by Netflix Animation, The Jim Henson Company and ShadowMachine. Del Toro co-directed the movie with Mark Gustafson (who was the animation director for Fantastic Mr. Fox) and co-wrote it with Patrick McHale (known for creating Over the Garden Wall), while basing its production design on the illustrations by Gris Grimly.In Fascist Italy, a lonely woodcarver named Geppetto mourns the loss of his young son. Inevitably, he is driven to build a wooden boy who is brought to life by a wood sprite... but the wooden boy isn't exactly squeaky clean.The movie holds the distinction of not only being the third movie based on The Adventures of Pinocchio to be released in 2022 (alongside Pinocchio: A True Story and Disney's remake of their Pinocchio), but also for having been in Development Hell, being announced in 2008, meaning to be released in 2013 or 2014, only to miss both years and having its production suspended in 2017 because no studio wanted to fund it until 2018 when Netflix swooped right in.The movie features the voices of Ewan McGregor, David Bradley, Gregory Mann, Ron Perlman, Finn Wolfhard, Cate Blanchett, Christoph Waltz, Tilda Swinton, Tim Blake Nelson, Burn Gorman and John Turturro. It had a limited theatrical run on November 9, 2022 before appearing on Netflix itself on December 9, 2022.Watch the Official Teaser and the Official Teaser Trailer.

Even the quick shot we get of Volpe's dead body shows his body, while mangled, is clean; there's not even any blood from the bone jutting out of one of his shattered arms.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: While the book was already dark, this movie takes it up a notch by being set in Fascist Italy of all eras. The film touches upon many mature themes, such as death, grief, abuse and war; the Land of Toys / Pleasure Island scene, in particular, is replaced by Pinocchio getting drafted into a youth military training camp. Despite this, the film is still appropriate for children, and has an overall positive message about the beauty and value of life.

It's more like the case of Resurrective Immortality is Awesome, but this is Pinocchio's initial reaction to his ability. As Death tries to explain each time Pinocchio dies, what makes life worth living is how short it is. Pinocchio comes to realize this when he has to sacrifice his immortality to save Gepetto. Even with this in mind, Pinocchio still outlives his loved ones since he cannot truly age, but Sebastian is confident he will die for real someday and reunite with them.

And when he's burning him, he's indeed making sure Pinocchio is like a star: burning bright.

It is used more practically when escaping the belly of the Terrible Dogfish, he spouts many silly lies in rapid succession in order to grow his nose huge so he, Spazzatura, Geppetto, and Sebastian can reach one of the Dogfish's blowholes.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: The pears that Geppetto buys for himself and Carlo are a shout-out to one vignette in the original story where Geppetto was trying to teach Pinocchio the importance of eating your food, even the parts you may not like. The Talking Cricket living inside the tree trunk that Geppetto cuts down and takes home to create Pinocchio carrying the Cricket along parallels how Mokku of the Oak Tree did it in episode 1. The reason the cricket is constantly subject to Amusing Injuries - one of which prominently involving a hammer - is likely a nod to his fate in the original book, where Pinocchio got annoyed by him and smashed him with a hammer, and he spent the rest of the novel as a ghost. Not to mention how Sebastian is basically telling the entire story from beyond the grave. Pinocchio burning his feet (at Candlewick's mischievous behest) is reminiscent of when the wooden boy put his feet by the fire to warm while he rested, only to find them burnt to stumps when he awoke. The Wood Sprite giving life to Pinocchio (who in the book came from an enchanted tree stump the Blue Fairy had nothing to do with) and getting Sebastian to be his guide is a cue taken from the Disney movie, as is Count Volpe convincing Pinocchio to join the showbiz like Honest John does and having him sing and dance in a number not too different from the "I've Got No Strings" scene. When Geppetto shoves Pinocchio into the closet early on, a pair of blue gloves are stuck to his face which resemble the White Gloves the Disney version wore. The cricket is named Sebastian J. Cricket, with the middle initial never elaborated upon. Jiminy, perhaps? One of Volpe's circus performers is a strongman with a long bushy beard, whose appearance resembles the original Mangiafuoco.note As a matter of fact, that character model IS Mangiafuoco's, and was originally going to be the villain, until Del Toro changed his mind during production and preferred Count Volpe's design for that role instead. Spazzatura being a monkey who has a Mookâ€“Face Turn brings to mind Igor from Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night, as does Pinocchio deciding to run away from home at night to join the Big Bad's carnival after angering Geppetto, while Gee Willikers is unable to follow him due to being stuck under a basket similar to Sebastian getting trapped under a glass. Volpe eating his script when Pinocchio wrecks his show resembles Stromboli's fury at Pinocchio during the famous "I Got No Strings" scene in the 1940 film. A more serious one when Pinocchio arrives at the military training camp. There's a brief montage of boys climbing up ropes, echoing the scenes of Pleasure Island in the 1940 version, which featured a lot of boys climbing onto roofs and jumping out windows. This subtly tells the viewer that the training camp will be this story's equivalent to Pleasure Island. The difference is, in the Disney movie, it's a place where boys misbehave and run wild, while here, they're all doing exactly what they're told, and are implicitly miserable throughout. When the military training camp is bombed, there's a quick shot of soldiers putting gas masks on several of the boys. The masks make their faces look stretched out... kind of like donkeys. Pinocchio using his nose as a Chekhov's Gun as a means to escape from the Terrible Dogfish harkens back to the 1996 live-action film doing a similar thing, even down to one of the intentional lies being the declaration that he hates his father. Similarly to the original Disney movie, the Terrible Dogfish has Adaptational Villainy and furiously tries to swallow the heroes again when they escape, and Pinocchio commits a Heroic Sacrifice to save Geppetto from drowning but gets brought back to life as a reward for his selfless act.

Nobody gets turned into a donkey in this version, and the last we see of him is him scrambling to find Pinocchio right after the training camp gets bombed. He's explicitly shown to survive the bombing that kills his father, but what happens to him after that is unknown, as he and the other children are still in the vicinity of the bombs. It's left ambiguous whether he was Spared by the Adaptation from his fate in the book, or died later in the camp.

During the "Big Baby Il Duce March", Pinocchio unfurls a defaced banner of Mussolini referring to him as "Sua Escremenza, Puzzolini". "Sua Escramenza" ("His Excrement") is a Pun on "Sua Eccelenza" ("His Excellency"), while "puzzo" means "stinky", making the joke something akin to "Mus-smell-ini". The epitaph on Spazzatura's grave at the end of the movie reads "Il divo del palco", which translates to "the star of the stage".

During the bombing run, they are seen putting on gas masks, which vaguely resemble donkey faces, though.

To depict how long Geppetto is mourning, a pinecone planted next to the grave gradually grows from a sprout to a big tree between cuts. In the ending, this is used to show all the main characters growing old and passing on, from Geppetto on his deathbed, Sebastian cold on the windowsill, Spazzatura walking with a cane, and eventually three additional gravestones on the hill besides Carlo's.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio / int_40bb59d0	comment	Blatant Lies: Wouldn't be a Pinocchio movie without them. While meeting with the Priest and the PodestÃ at his home, Geppetto treats Candlewick to some hot chocolate. Pinocchio wants some too, and makes it a point to petulantly yell he wants hot chocolate when he doesn't get any. He only obeys once Geppetto makes it clear simple obedience will get him the hot chocolate he so desires. All in all, there's a big contradiction to Geppetto telling his company that Pinocchio is a rather well-behaved kid. Pinocchio only agrees to work for Volpe if half the money he earns will go to Geppetto. Volpe easily agrees, but while the audience knows someone as unscrupulous as him will never uphold this promise, Pinocchio is naive enough to believe him. Sure enough, Volpe is shown later only dividing a tiny pittance of the money to go to Geppetto (under the excuse of supplementary expenses) - and it turns out that he doesn't even send that small amount.

The eponymous puppet is created when a drunken Geppetto, who is still angry and grieving from the loss of his son Carlo twenty years prior from collateral damage from World War I, cuts down the tree he planted next to Carlo's grave and carves it into a very loose effigy of the boy. Geppetto tries to get used to said puppet and treats him identically to Carlo, not caring that Pinocchio has developed an identity of his own. This leads to an argument between the two where Geppetto angrily calls Pinocchio a burden for joining Volpe's traveling circus against his wishes, resulting in a hurt Pinocchio returning to the circus to earn money for his father. Geppetto, distraught over Pinocchio's disappearance, realizes that the kid loves him like a father regardless after Sebastian calls him out on it, and never compares him to Carlo again once he sets off to find him.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio / int_674e8192	comment	Blind Obedience: Examining this is a Central Theme of the movie. Pinocchio never becomes a "real boy", nor is his ultimate lesson about doing what he's "supposed" to do. Rather, he learns to not blindly listen to the rules, especially if they're actively malevolent towards him or other people. Instead, Pinocchio learns to defy the rules when necessary, and embrace what he is, which causes his surrogate father to accept him as well.

In this movie, it's shown how Blind Obedience is counterproductive and very problematic when said parents and higher authorities are misguided by their personal issues (Geppetto) or have a corrupted morality (Count Volpe and the PodestÃ ). Also, the real-life Fascist motto "Credere Obbedire Combattere" (To Believe. To Obey. To Fight.) is prominently displayed in several scenes on walls and buildings.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio / int_7fe29ba6	comment	Symbolism: The Time-Passes Montage of Geppetto visiting Carlo's grave for years on end is meant to drive home Sebastian's narration about how the world moved on (the time lapse of the pine cone growing into a pine tree) while Geppetto's grieving remains unchanged. Geppetto accidentally spattering red paint onto the PodestÃ when he salutes him is two-fold. First, it low-key reflects the rather blood-thirsty nature of the PodestÃ 's belief in fascism. Second, it's meant to signify how Geppetto is ironically imperfect for being a perfectionist. Similarly, in the military camp scene, the guns for the boys' war games are loaded with paint instead of bullets — the first shots fired are yellow, but the next volley comes in red, evoking the boys' fate as model Fascist soldiers. For twenty years, the wooden Jesus figure has remained unfinished, as though reflecting how Geppetto's grieving for Carlo has left him without closure. After Pinocchio comes into his life, Geppetto finishes painting the wooden Jesus figure, signifying that Geppetto's wounds are starting to heal because of him.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio / int_7febc23b	comment	Establishing Character Moment: After felling a tree to carve a crucifix for the church, Geppetto tells Carlo that they must plant one of its pine cones, so that a new tree will grow, establishing his kind heart and foresight. However, he insists that they pick a "perfect" pine cone with no missing scales, setting up his major character flaw - the demand for perfection. In the opening, the future Podesta is briefly introduced as the blacksmith, hammering a horseshoe and calls Gepetto a "model Italian citizen". Later on, when visiting Geppetto after Pinocchio was discovered, PodestÃ 's sense of fascism is demonstrated when he talks about how Pinocchio is the perfect soldier primed for war. He also makes it a point to show off how Candlewick's the perfect son as though he were prize-winning chattel, indicating that if Geppetto is a perfectionist, then the PodestÃ has it worse.

This movie's version of Candlewick, on the other hand, is given a legitimate Freudian Excuse, and his capacity for disobedience is treated as a much more ennobling quality. Mangiafuoco, the original antagonistic puppeteer in the source text, was demoted in this movie and hybridised with the Fox to create Count Volpe, as early on Del Toro took stock of the Mangiafuoco design and decided he was "crap". The Mangiafuoco puppet remains in the movie but is now a bearded strongman in Volpe's circus and has no lines.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Geppetto fussing over how the pine cone Carlo chose isn't perfect, because it's missing a scale, framing how his perfectionism will be problematic with the imperfect Pinocchio. Count Volpe's fascist sympathies are not immediately obvious, but there are hints scattered around: He is an aristocrat who fell from grace, and desires a return to power and prestige, much like many of the Fascists were. He also listens to Richard Wagner, a famously antisemitic composer who was one of Adolf Hitler's favorite composers. Additionally, in his musical number, he derides "Jazz on the radio" - the Nazis famously considered jazz, a music genre of African American origins, to be "degenerate", a sentiment that was later imported into Italy by the Fascists. Volpe promising he will make Pinocchio shine like the brightest star. The thing is, stars shine because they burn, which Volpe does to Pinocchio in retribution. Death warning Pinocchio that living forever won't be all it's cracked to be because he'll outlive his loved ones. This comes to pass in the ending, albeit with the hope that since he's mortal, Pinocchio won't outlive them by forever.

There's a brief montage of boys climbing up ropes, echoing the scenes of Pleasure Island in the 1940 version, which featured a lot of boys climbing onto roofs and jumping out windows. This subtly tells the viewer that the training camp will be this story's equivalent to Pleasure Island. The difference is, in the Disney movie, it's a place where boys misbehave and run wild, while here, they're all doing exactly what they're told, and are implicitly miserable throughout.

First, it low-key reflects the rather blood-thirsty nature of the PodestÃ 's belief in fascism. Second, it's meant to signify how Geppetto is ironically imperfect for being a perfectionist. Similarly, in the military camp scene, the guns for the boys' war games are loaded with paint instead of bullets — the first shots fired are yellow, but the next volley comes in red, evoking the boys' fate as model Fascist soldiers.

The dropping of the bomb that kills Carlo is a Homage Shot to the opening of The Devil's Backbone, in which a bomb is also dropped from a plane with the same atmosphere and composition. Furthermore, Sebastian is revealed to be narrating the story from beyond the grave like Dr. Casares and Pinocchio's design is partially inspired by Santi's, presenting cracks on his head in the same spot Santi has his bleeding wound. The scene of Geppetto making Pinocchio is reminiscent of several movie adaptions of Frankenstein, which is fitting since both are about an artificially made human who (at least in this version of Pinocchio and the original Frankenstein novel) is at first rejected by his creator. Thankfully for Pinocchio, Geppetto changes his mind about his creation, sparing him from the agony that the Creature had to endure from Victor. To The Adventures of Baron Munchausen when Pinocchio happily mistakes the sleeping Terrible Dogfish for an island before it awakens pulling out a dorsal fin and attacking just like the Turtle Island Sea Monster from Terry Gilliam's film. The scene even has a similar late afternoon sky. Pinocchio killing the Terrible Dogfish by setting off an explosive device lodged in its mouth is very reminiscent of Jaws. On top of doubling as a Stealth Pun, Pinocchio keeping Sebastian's body to rest in a box of matches that he carries inside his chest is a stealth shout-out to Charles Dickens' The Cricket on the Hearth.

"Sua Escramenza" ("His Excrement") is a Pun on "Sua Eccelenza" ("His Excellency"), while "puzzo" means "stinky", making the joke something akin to "Mus-smell-ini".

Instead of being regular anthropomorphic rabbits, they are in fact skeletons who are still wearing their black pelts as executioner-like hoods and coats, only covering their heads and shoulders. The Dogfish, rather than a giant shark or whale, is a horrifying sea abomination who emerges only once in every decade or so, swallowing everything and everyone in its way.

Candlewick, thanks in no small part to Pinocchio's words, stands up to his abusive father, the PodestÃ , letting him know that he doesn't care if he thinks he's too weak.

This movie's version of Candlewick, on the other hand, is given a legitimate Freudian Excuse, and his capacity for disobedience is treated as a much more ennobling quality.

But as Death states, this makes life less meaningful, and someday he'll watch all his friends and family go without him to the other side. Sure enough, this happens at the end, with Pinocchio losing all of his family one by one before departing for parts unknown. Sebastian remains optimistic that he'll die for real and see them all again, though.

Then Pinocchio is drafted into becoming a soldier alongside other children. Both he and Candlewick barely escape that place getting bombed too.
