It really is, people only liked it because it was Del Toro, and the message of the movie was basically "don't grow up, because if you do then you might become a fascist."
If you want to watch a better anti-Mussolini film, just watch Porco Rosso. This was just pathetic.
>don't grow up, because if you do then you might become a fascist
i didnt even pay attention but the message was that something about flaws being more important than perfection
The message was not to be a blind puppet to others, and to choose love above all else even if it means being disobedient because that's what matters in the end.
I thought it was appropriately hyped. There was beauty in seeing a guy's passion project fully realized after struggling for over a decade to get it off the ground. Anyone who appreciates stop-motion was enamored by Pinocchio's visuals, and even those who are tired of remakes and remakes respected that del Toro was making a bold new spin on the story rather than retreading the same ground.
Pinocchio definitely hasn't had much of a lasting impact, but it made sense for it to win all the Animated Feature awards during its cycle since its only real competition was a more divisive and controversial film that many refused to take seriously. Yes, I also wish TLW had won
Pinocchio came out in late November/early December, the standard Awards Bait Hype time and Del Toro was the only person going "The Academy needs to stop treating animation as some shitty kids table they hate having to acknowledge" that had any clout in Hollywood.

No contradiction. He only promoted his own movie before and during the Oscars. Now that he won and doesn’t have another animated movie for the next Oscars he’s shilling Spider-Verse.
The movie looked nice and had a cool atmosphere, but that was pretty much all it had going for it. It's an incredibly forgettable film otherwise which sucks as I love stop motion animation and was initially looking forward to it.
Am I the only one who felt like the songs in this sounded really amateurish and discordant? Like none of the melodies felt right, and I can't remember any of the lyrics off the top of my head.

I got halfway through this movie before I got so fucking annoyed I had to turn it off. Pinocchio was just too bratty to the point that I could not believe Gepeto would keep him instead of throwing him into the fireplace.
gets chastised for not recognizing the incredibly annoying puppet is a miracle that he should be grateful for
Do puppets normally come to life where you're from?
If a puppet came to life, started acting like I was its father and then began fucking my life up and acting like an annoying, entitled brat, 'gratitude' is probably the last thing that I would feel.
I wanna see a Pinocchio movie that takes the same approach as KC Green's webcomic version: take the completely unaltered events and dialogue of the original book but putting it in a visual style that throws how psychotic it all is into stark relief.
Fuck, I didn't know he did a Pinocchio webcomic
Looking at it right now and I'm surprised at how accurate it is to the book and somehow still feels like KC Green was doing one of his parodies
I don't remember a single thing from Sea Beast except that it ended with a really unrealistic solution and a shitty "stay home out of respect" message.
No since the monsters didn't look epic enough. I hoped for something that's more like a Monster Hunter Tri movie. Sea monsters are among my favorite tropes, especially the top-down-shot-of-something-under-the-surface shot. Whenever that one doesn't appear I'm already disappointed. I think it at least had a shot-shows-most-of-creature-is-actually-underwater-like-an-iceberg shot. But I found the monster design generally too Dreamworks but cheaper-ish.
This movie was stupidly overhyped.

media illiterate much?
You get one (You). ONE (You). And no more.

Only because Del Taco made it. If it was some literal who’s project, nobody would’ve paid attention.

fpbp
This.
I can’t believe this little goblin had the biggest impact in animation last year
Whoops forgot her stupid face
Literally who
Nice try newfag. But I'd be glad anon would forget because those manlet Arabs get apeshit over it.
and was forgot for the rest of the year untill the oscar throw a pity award because delfato

swear i remember it be released early.
Del Toro is a gay because say big words but does very little to "move animation into adult stuff"
>Father! When can I leave to be on my owwwwwwnnn?
Del Toro didn’t tell his Academy buddies “hey guys, check out Mad God and Inu-Oh as well”, he only cared about shilling his own movie.
The directors of Mad God and Inu-Oh can shill for themselves
GDT is shilling Spider-Verse though.

>There were 6 Pinocchio movies between 2012 to 2022
>The best 2 were the italian ones
Of course they were. Italy has a slept on /toon/ side.
I mean it's an Italian book to begin with so obv Italians would be closer to the source material's spirit

A surprisingly good english dub too, considering how dubs usually are.

I saw it the other day. It was fine I guess, not really my thing. It had artistry, I'll give it that.
Ciao Papa…
Am I the only one who felt like the songs in this sounded really amateurish and discordant? Like none of the melodies felt right, and I can't remember any of the lyrics off the top of my head.
The songs were trash. The only good one was the propaganda song that Pinocchio sang at the latter half of his performing career.
>I am forgotten
Actually, I think about this movie often. It was honestly, really quite good.
Nah, you just have shit taste. But don't give up. You can always look forward to a better tomorrow.
The FILM that debunked the famous and widely-accepted claim that animation isn't cinema forever.
>Animation should be treated as a medium for Adults
>proceeds to make a movie with childish poop jokes
>hating poop jokes
Pretentious gay
>childish poop jokes made by a childish child character to mock someone, which ends in an absolutely hilariously dark payoff
>Pinocchio smelling a realistic HD piece of shit in the foreground and looks like he's fucking enjoying it
HUGE difference.
Not as much as pic related
🙁
Not really a bad thing. At least TLW was pretty good.
as pretty as the film is, i don't think the story is very good, the characters are cute, but that's it
sadly
TBG is basic, but at least the characters were enteraining and fun to look at.
I wish they had a better movie

Teaming up with Pat McHale was a great idea. Those final minutes had me choked up

Plus it looked like dogshit.
So I get the subplot about fascism
But I don't get why it's there
Toro wanted to thematically tie it with Pan's Laberynth and The Devil's Backbone, both fantasy movies that take place during the Spanish Civil War.
I was so dissapointed by this movie, and I don't know what everyone else is seeing. I almost feel like I should give it another chance.
Was there anything you liked about it tho?
The animation was nice, and the acting was good. That's all I got.
>I am forgotten
It's the age of streaming, you forget every fucking movie you stream.
I know I have
I don't remember a single thing from Sea Beast except that it ended with a really unrealistic solution and a shitty "stay home out of respect" message.
You at least remember the epic monster battle at the start of the film, yeah? That's what made the ending just that much more disappointing.

Not a complete disaster though, it looked fine.
>The Sea Beast
How did that get nominated for an Oscar? Did Netflix pay them a lot of money?
kino ending
>I am forgotten
good, Patrick McHale deserves worse
It's funny we had a Year of Pinocchio.
