The award-winning director’s reimagining of the classic children’s fairy tale about a wooden puppet that transforms into a living boy.
Working with stop-motion legend Carl Gustafson, Academy Award-winning director Guillermo del Toro brings his unique vision to the famous Carlo Collodi tale. In 1930s Italy, Pinocchio (Gregory Mann) is exuberant, rowdy and alive—and dreaming of being a real boy. With his travelling companion and conscience Sebastian J. Cricket (Ewan McGregor) beside him all the way, his magical ambition will take him on an enchanted and world-transcending adventure, searching for the life-giving power of love.
With a host of exceptional voice talent and Gustafson’s idiosyncratic animation style, this Pinocchio embraces the dark side of its source material, making for an eerie and whimsical take on one of the best-known European fables.
