Dark Pinocchio
PRAISE: This is definitely a more somber and serious Pinocchio story. With a fascist setting and the inclusion of a couple of scenes that shocked me. The well known story is their with Toros fingerprints all over this .There is great voice work by Ewan McGregor as Cricket ; David Bradley as Geppetto ; Gregory Mann as Pinocchio ,Burn Gorman ·as Priest, Tilda Swinton ,Christoph Waltz, Cate Blanchett and Ron Perlman .
The animation is nearly flawless with imagery at times reminding me of some old Sci Fi and horror movies. I'm not really into musicals but thankfully the songs are brief .High praise to Toro and his crew for all of their hard work.
PROBLEMS : The film is a bit drawn out at times
