This was the MOST beautiful film ever, I swear. By the end of it I was in tears. Del Toro was excellent, just as always. This creative retelling of Pinocchio was fun and heartbreaking and visually stunning.

I'm a huge fan of stop motion films fo of course I had to give this a watch. And man, was it beautiful.

This is one of the best movies I have seen in a while. And that's not an understatement. If you haven't watched it, give it a go.

I was honestly expecting something a little more light hearted and childish, but the story was complex and emotional and dark at times. I should've expected that from a Guillermo del Toro Film.

It was original yet still regained some of the iconic moments from the original Disney Pinocchio.

Bring some tissues when you give this a watch. And definitely watch it with your family. This is one of those films that can be enjoyed by anyone of any age.

Swan McGregor was an excellent choice for Sebastian the cricket. I recognized his voice instantly. And Tilda Swindon as 'the blue fairy.' Perfect casting choices.

The Blue fairy's design was also amazing and very creative. I won't say much, but she's beautiful!

I cannot say enough how much I loved this movie. I loved it so much. So much. I will definitely be making everyone I know watch it. 10/10.
