A classic tale is reborn through the inspired imagination of cinematic dream-weaver Guillermo del Toro, directing alongside Mark Gustafson. Realized through boundary-pushing, breathtakingly intricate stop-motion animation, this dark rendering of the fable of the puppet boy and his maker, which won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, daringly transfers the story to Fascist Italy, where the irrepressible Pinocchio gradually learns what it means to be human through his experiences of war, death, and sacrifice. This version of the story imbues the oft-told tale with a bold new resonance about living with courage and compassion.

MPAA rating: PG; for dark thematic material, violence, peril, some rude humor and brief smoking.


Blu-ray, region A; wide screen; Dolby Atmos; requires Blu-ray player.


English dialogue; English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH); English descriptive audio.
