Pinocchio (Guillermo del Toro)

I grew up with the cartoon as a child. It's been a ridiculously long time since I saw it, but seems like it could be a cool story for del Toro to tackle..

IMDB

It'd be cool if this was Fable's Pinocchio. A man can dream...

I just want Del Toro to make high budget kaiju films for the rest of eternity, I'm not super into his weird fascination with fairy tales.

Pinocchio is a cultural icon. As one of the most reimagined characters in children's literature, his story has been adapted into other media.

Umm ok?

OT, i'd likely watch a Pinocchio re-imagining period, just to see it. Del Toro at the helm is cake icing.

This seems like something a robot pretending to be human would say.

Disney’s gonna beat Del Toro by a few months…:

I watched this on my phone so I’m prob. wrong but, Tinkerbell appears to be bald. And black.

Disney is hit/miss with the live action remakes, the good ones for me:

Maleficent
The Jungle Book
Beauty and the Beast
Aladdin
The Lion King

I'm looking forward to:

Pinocchio
The Little Mermaid (Mostly to see the fragile males go reeee because Ariel is being played by a Black woman)
Hercules

I’m not ree-ing I don’t think, but I got def. SMH going on at what I consider gratuitous race swapping. Tink, Ariel, Batwoman, Batgirl, Cyclone…

I’m an equal opportunity SMH-er!

Billy Porter as Cinderella FGM though…

… at least brings something fun to the equation!

Shit, I didn't realize this is animated.

I was apparently under the false impression that del Toro abandoned the project because I saw a live action Zemeckis version coming out too.

But apparently they're just separate projects coming out the same year...

I don't care for musicals, so that's really the only reason I didn't want to watch Booty and the Beast or Aladdin. I didn't really grow up on those anyway.

Wasn't there a trailer for this for Netflix?

sure was

What do you consider “grow up on”? I was 23-24 when the OG Aladdin came out and I loved it.

I never saw them as a kid and in fact I don't think I've ever seen them. 🤷‍♂️
