Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio - The Criterion Collection Guillermo del Toro

Animated fantasy drama co-written and co-directed by Guillermo del Toro. In 1930s Italy, Pinocchio (voice of Gregory Mann) is the wood-carved creation of Geppetto (David Bradley). When the pair are visited by a magical fairy, she grants Pinocchio the opportunity to become a real, flesh-and-blood boy, but only if he learns to be brave, honest and unselfish.

To this end Pinocchio is granted a conscience, one which comes in the shape of the diminutive Sebastian J. Cricket (Ewan McGregor). However, Pinocchio soon discovers that being good is not as easy as it sounds.
