After well over a decade of exhaustive efforts, Academy Award-winner Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson are finally able to present the world with their stop-motion masterpiece, Pinocchio. The collaboration sings onscreen, with both filmmakers possessing a rich darkness to their work, from del Toro’s gothic fantasia in Pan’s Labyrinth, to Gustafson’s grim fairytale stop-motion work on Return to Oz and whimsical direction in Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Though the tale is timeless, co-writer del Toro, along with Patrick McHale (Adventure Time), refashioned this 1800s fairytale into an emotional and touching screenplay set in the 1930s Fascist Italy. This retelling isn’t a rehash of old material, but a story full of heart, with tireless craftsmanship from a village of artists. On top of the stop-motion animation, Pinocchio is backed by an ensemble cast of vocal talent including Ewan McGregor, David Bradley, Tilda Swinton, Cate Blanchett, Christoph Waltz and many more.
With Pinocchio receiving a limited theatrical release and streaming exclusively on Netflix, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke with both directors on the making of the film. During their interview, they both shared which scenes hold special places in their hearts that they’re excited for viewers to see, and a couple of moments that didn’t make it into the movie. They also discuss how stop-animation has evolved over the years, how their collaboration worked on Pinocchio, whether we’ll be seeing another team-up in the coming years, and if del Toro is returning with a second season of Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities for Netflix.
