NETFLIX: This is an all NEW version of Pinocchio! Not to be confused with the Disney+ live-action Pinocchio remake with Ton Hanks. And while the Netflix version appears to be more ‘wooden’, pun intended, it actually may have more heart than the Disney+ Re-do. As it adds a grieving father to the mix, and that seems to be unique to this version of the tale…
Here’s the Netflix say-so…
“Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro reinvents the classic tale of the wooden marionette who is magically brought to life in order to mend the heart of a grieving woodcarver named Geppetto. This whimsical, stop-motion film directed by Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson follows the mischievous and disobedient adventures of Pinocchio in his pursuit of a place in the world.”
