Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio

Love will give you life.

Academy Award®-winning director Guillermo del Toro and award-winning, stop-motion legend Mark Gustafson reimagine the classic Carlo Collodi tale of the fabled wooden boy with a whimsical tour de force that finds Pinocchio on an enchanted adventure that transcends worlds and reveals the life-giving power of love.

A father’s wish magically brings a wooden boy to life in Italy, giving him a chance to care for the child. Featuring the voices of Ewan McGregor, David Bradley, Gregory Mann, Tilda Swinton, Cate Blanchett, Finn Wolfhard, Christoph Waltz and more.

“Del Toro finds in this oft-told tale both the heart that has allowed it to endure for so long and an idiosyncratic connection that makes his version feel new.” (Slate)

“Del Toro finds in this oft-told tale both the heart that has allowed it to endure for so long and an idiosyncratic connection that makes his version feel new.” (Cultured Vultures)

“Fraught with danger and lilting with poignant melancholy… an exercise in exploring the seams between life’s pleasures and its terrible pains, a film that turns toward our grim era and wrestles some measure of hope and kindness out of it.” (Vanity Fair)
