Love the cast but Finn Wolfhard is a luminary?

Looks like Netflix gave them Cate Blanchett with the budget.

By Netflix standards, he is.

Update Via Del Toro

"It’s a very very very personal movie for me. The flip-side for me [has] always been Pinocchio and Frankenstein, are the same story. Because essentially, that’s the same story. The idea of a Pinocchio that talks about things that I consider very deep but it’s fun and it’s a musical at the same time, I find it really incredibly moving. Obviously, in animation, you get to see the movie in storyboards beginning to end many many times, and then you add the stop-motion. Right now, we are 50% animated and 50% in storyboards. Every time I watch the movie I just sob like a baby. It’s as personal as it gets, as moving as it gets. It’s unlike any version of the story you’ve ever seen. It’s completely unlike it. It subverts the moral underpinnings of the original fable, which is, in order to be a real boy you have to change. You’re going to become flesh and blood. This is about becoming a real boy by acting...acting like a real human, period."

Collider's Steve Weintraub also confirmed the filmmaker's stop-motion musical Pinocchio, the Italian fantasy fable most notably adapted by Disney in 1940, will arrive on Netflix at the tail-end of 2022.

I like the animation style and the music. If I were to nitpick anything so far it's that Ewan's voice doesn't quite fit Jiminy Cricket IMO. But perhaps it will grow on me in time.

[filmbuffTX]

It’s giving me James and the Giant Peach vibes.

Loving the artistic talent being poured into this.

[Monterey Jack]

This is gonna wipe the floor with the Disney remake.

[kylor]

It already has.

[Mandalorian]

I either had no idea, or completely forgot, that this was going to be stop motion (or at least animated to look like it is?). I can't wait.
