Get a closer look at the maquettes of Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Pinocchio.’
One of the most-anticipated movies of 2022 is Guillermo del Toro's stop-motion version of Pinocchio, the classic Italian tale about a marionette who wants to become a real boy. During a trip to Netflix, Collider's own Steven Weintraub took some exclusive pictures of Pinocchio's maquettes that were on display in the lobby, which provide a closer look at the fantastic character designs of del Toro's movie.
Sticking closer to the original book than Disney's recent reinterpretation of the tale, del Toro's Pinocchio promises to give us a darker version of the story. That's well reflected in the character design of the movie, as the new maquettes give us a closer look at the evil Count Volpe , whose hair is fashioned to look just like devil's horns.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Another villain present in the exclusive pictures is Podestà , a fascist official who turns Pinocchio into a soldier. From Devil's Backbone to Pan's Labyrinth, del Toro has never shied away from taking a stance against fascism, and that theme will once more be reflected in Pinocchio. The new images also give us a closer look at Candlewick , the son of Podestà.
You don't need to look further away than Hellboy or The Shape of Water to know that del Toro is a master of practical effects and beautiful creatures. So, with a stop-motion movie, the filmmaker can stretch all his creative muscles to bring us a version of Pinocchio that indeed updates the classic and offers something new to the audience. And as the detailed images of the maquettes underline, del Toro's Pinocchio is already looking fantastic.
Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio had its world premiere at the BFI London Film Festival last October 15 and the movie is scheduled to be released in select theaters on November 25 before coming to Netflix on December 9. Check out Pinocchio's teaser trailer and the maquette images below.
