Jodi, Bridget and Philip review the 2022 'Pinocchio' adaptation from renowned filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and Netflix. Filmed using stop-motion puppetry, del Toro co-directs with Mark Gustafson a film that reflects the signature dark whimsy of del Toro's earlier films, unafraid to delve into heavy symbolism involving war and loss. The wartime setting is punctuated by numerous colorful characters and moments of strong levity, offering a familiar yet fresh take on the classic story. Pinocchio's journey through late-1930's Italy is full of twists and turns that leave you breathless. Discover how Pinocchio narrowly escapes peril in this life and beyond, seeking to somehow return to a place of peace and belonging alongside his cricket companion his father Gepetto.
