Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio [videorecording] / Netflix presents ; a Double Dare You! film ; a ShadowMachine production ; in association with The Jim Henson Company ; directed by Guillermo del Toro, Mark Gustafson ; produced by Guillermo del Toro, Lisa Henson, Gary Ungar, Alex Bulkley & Corey Campodonico ; screenplay by Guillermo del Toro and Patrick McHale ; screen story by Guillermo del Toro and Matthew Robbins.
A classic tale is reborn through the inspired imagination of cinematic dream-weaver Guillermo del Toro, directing alongside Mark Gustafson. Realized through boundary-pushing, breathtakingly intricate stop-motion animation, this dark rendering of the fable of the puppet boy and his maker, which won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, daringly transfers the story to Fascist Italy, where the irrepressible Pinocchio gradually learns what it means to be human through his experiences of war, death, and sacrifice. This version of the story imbues the oft-told tale with a bold new resonance about living with courage and compassion.
