    First trailer for DelToro's vision of Pinocchio, the film to drop in December sometime. This is more my idea of a reboot (if that can be said of a Public Domain work); give it to a genuine artistic creative to make something different of it.

    Looks beautiful, love the stop-motion style. Hopefully the story lives up to it

    It's Del Toro..... It's stop motion.... I have faith

    Oh.. shots fired. Who's releasing first?

    *googles*

    Disney in September:

    Netflix in November (guessing for a small cinema release to qualify for award noms)/December (guessing for streaming):

    Because one is yet another soulless Disney 'live action remake' cash in ...and the other looks like it might be genuinely worth your time!

    This reminds of the last couple of Jungle Book adaptions, it was sad to see Andy Serkis version disappear without a trace given that it was 10 time the movie that the dismal John Favreau version was (which of course made neigh on a billion dollars for Disney). It's just bit sad that interesting and well crafted rarely seems to compete with bland and cynical at the box office.

    I was gonna say this but I've already had a similar rant elsewhere. But yeah, one is a cash-grab and one is made with looooooove :D

    Definitely with the Jungle Book, it felt like Disney got the first mover advantage.


    With this though, del Toro might benefit from having Christmas.

    An interesting Making Of dropped for this; looks really cool.

    This is out today.

    Looking forward to reviews. If it's any use I might keep it for Christmas viewing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,617 ✭✭✭✭Akrasia


    The trailer looks really good. I can see him getting all the Oscars for best cinematography



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,547 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Flicked through a few reviews and read Kermode's in the Observer, all sound very good. Looking forward to seeing it

    Good film, really couldn't fault it. Family friendly, but with a dark edge. Beautifully animated.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,545 ✭✭✭✭DvB


    Watched this with the Family the other night & we all loved it. Thought the stop motion animation worked really well and the voice cast were superb, in fact the whole thing was a total joy.

    Last time I enjoyed an animated film this much was with Klaus a couple of years ago.

    Found this pretty frustrating. I think del Toro is working in a lot of clashing tonal registers - musical, sentimental fairy tale, folk horror, anti-fascist fable - that didn't really come together for me. Some of it did work well - things like the creepy Blue Fairy were brilliantly realised, or how deep / dark it went when it came to portraying grief and mortality - and you can't fault the sheer craft that has gone into the thing. As ever, stop motion has a tangibility to it that makes it pop off the screen. But for all its good ideas it came across as just that to me... a bit of a jumble of different ideas that didn't make a satisfying whole, despite good intentions. Goes without saying it's still vastly preferable to another joyless Disney cash-in!

    Granted, it's the latest in an ever-lengthening line of del Toro films that have left me cold - a filmmaker whose ambition I often admire but whose films routinely fail to spark for me. So there's absolutely a bit of 'not for me' here. But of the two big Netflix stop-motion efforts this year, I found Wendell & Wild to be the more successful and consistently-realised one (albeit still messy in its own way).
