Pinocchio is a beautiful film with a new perspective on the classical fairytale, its characters, and the world. It's not a kids' movie and is made in Guillermo del Toro's signature style with a somewhat gloomy tone. Del Toro adds a lot to the story of Pinocchio and explores such deep themes as life, death, mortality, loss, family, parenthood, war, etc.
The production design is very charming, and the stop-motion style adds to the unique atmosphere. The music is beautiful, and the songs don't feel awkward or out of place.
It is one of the best-animated films of this year and one of my favorites from del Toro.
