Del Toro has embraced the poetry in craftsmanship and ushered in the most beautiful stop-motion animation film in years.

Unlike Matteo Garrone's sublime 2019 fantasy a version that managed to be faithful wildly imaginative and all-ages in appeal this brooding musical veers wildly between primary school scatology repeated journeys to the underworld and darkest history.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio is clearly not aimed solely at kids but rather is banking on the fact that adults too will be drawn to the striking visuals and mature themes at play.
