The reactions have started pouring in for Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio. If you remember then the master filmmaker came up with Cabinet Of Curiosities in October. The anthology series had one of the most terrifying stories ever and there is something particular about his works. They are more into folklore and legacy rather than modern animation.
But his upcoming film Pinocchio follows a blend of both. It is being hailed as the most perfect film of Pinocchio after the 1940 cult classic by Disney.
If you are aware then Disney created a Pinocchio film starring Tom Hanks just a few months back. Although such films are the USP of the company, the film failed to impress much.
Netflix and Gulimmero Del Torro with their version of Pinocchio barged into Disney’s heart regime and made a better film than them.
You might be aware that the story of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi is about 140 years old. Since 1940, the film has been adapted several times into a sweet children’s tale. Gulimmero Del Torro took a different approach and made it a little darker.
The film has a high chance of getting not only nominated but also bagging prominent awards such as the Oscars.
Gulimmero Del Torro’s Pinocchio releases today on Netflix India.
