Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio2022

I’ve been trying to get in the habit of writing longer and more thought out reviews on here, but all I can think to say about this gem at the moment is that it’s truly beautiful and proves how much people misunderstand animation as a filmmaking technique. It’s no bold statement to say that it’s often written off as ‘children’s movies’ and that really undermines both the value in work like this, and the emotional intelligence of kids. This film nails it, and is an absolute joy to watch, while being painfully melancholic at times. Such a personal work. Eat shit Disney. minus half a star for a real lack of hideo kojima.
