For a long time, I was worried thatGuillermo del Toro’s Pinocchiowasn’t going to get made.
During these questions,it became clear how little work there is in the stop-motion animation field.
Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio takes a different approach to the puppet’s story.
We analyze the film’s ending, its biggest points, and what it means.
This was heartbreaking to me, as there are artists who are hungry to make stop-motion animation.

What Is Coming Next From The World Of Stop-Motion Animation?
From director Guillermo del Toro comes Pinocchio, a stop-motion animation reimagining of Carlo Collodi’s original tale, The Adventures of Pinocchio. A darker story than the Disney original, this Pinocchio takes place during the fascist regime in 1930s Italy after the passing of Gepetto’s son, Carlo. When Gepetto’s grief overcomes him, he finally seeks an outlet by creating a wooden boy who comes to life. However, Gepetto’s new wooden son is more of a trickster than a well-behaved boy, as he pranks the people he comes across and tends to lean on the wild side. Pinocchio will struggle to make his father proud and learn what it means to be a real boy while avoiding the pursuit of the film’s main antagonist, Count Volpe.
