Pinocchio [videorecording] / directed by Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson.
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.

With painstaking stop-motion animation-and shifting of the action to 20th century fascist Italy-director Guillermo del Toro delivered a dark and diverting read on the Collodi classic unlike any before, as the grief-stricken Geppetto (voided by David Bradley) crafted a pine effigy (Gregory Mann) of the 10-year-old son he lost-and which, after being incredibly imbued with life, would come to learn of humanity. Oscar-winner also features the voices of Ewan McGregor, Tilda Swinton, Christoph Waltz, Cate Blanchett. 117 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English (SDH); featurettes.
