‘Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio’ Designed to Oppose Other Versions of the Story

The story of Pinocchio, originally a book by Carlo Collodi, is over a century old and has been retold in several movies over the last century. However, Guillermo del Toro’s recent adaptation for Netflix makes significant changes to the concept to transform its message. The structural shift in the storytelling works in concert with the striking stop-motion visuals that del Toro spent over a decade trying to convince studios across Hollywood was an aesthetic worth investing in. 

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio changes the narrative

Director del Toro has loved Pinocchio for as long as he’s loved movies. A childhood viewing of Disney’s 1940 version was a foundational experience for the filmmaker, but he always had an issue with the film’s conclusion that the main character had to become a “normal” boy to find happiness.
