“I am a lapsed Catholic — there’s a lot of Catholicism. I knew I wanted to make it about fathers and sons...I wanted to make it staggeringly beautiful, and I wanted to make it the reverse of what you normally see of Pinocchio in film.”
“I am a lapsed Catholic, [so] there’s a lot of Catholicism. I knew I wanted to make it about fathers and sons, which is a theme I repeat over and over in my filmography,” del Toro told. “I wanted to make it staggeringly beautiful, and I wanted to make it the reverse of what you normally see of Pinocchio in film.”
“Normally, ‘Pinocchio’ is about being a good boy and obeying, and doing what you’re told,” the director-writer explained. “This is about disobedience, and how disobedience is necessary to be an individual — and how that is necessary to be a real person.” On working with del Toro, Christoph Waltz — who voices Count Volpe — told reporters that “Guillermo is probably the loveliest, the nicest, the sweetest and one of the most particular and persnickety” directors.
