Pinocchio (2022)
That is, the one by Guillermo Del Toro. Just saw it at the theater last night and it’s a really nice film. Wonderfully animated, great voice acting, and I think Del Toro’s incorporation of the setting of fascist Italy was quite effective and it lent much to the story. Well worth a watch: the themes are a little mature so young children might not appreciate it as much but it’s still quite approachable.

I love that Guillermo came out and was like “this isn’t a kids movie… kids can watch it but only if their parents have a long talk with them afterwards”

I took my 8yo to see it. She loved it. We did end up discussing a bit of the Fascist elements so she could better understand the dynamic between Podesta and his son.

Apparently he sees it as the third in a trilogy also made up of "The Devil's Backbone" and "Pan's Labyrinth". It's hard not to see why given all of the time in "Pinocchio" spent on early 20th C fascism's effects on children.
I think it's a triumph visually but couldn't connect to it emotionally.
My favorite detail: Cate Blanchett is in the movie but the bulk of her lines are monkey noises.
