Netflix has released a new behind-the-scenes featurette showing off the making of the stop-motion animated “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio” which will release in December. Del Toro co-wrote the script with Patrick McHale.
Del Toro says: “To me, there’s a valuable difference between stop-motion as an art form and digital. Stop-motion in the early days where you had the flicker of fur and fabric, even the atmospheric dust on the sets. And the imperfection was, sort of gorgeous to look at because it told you how the thing was done.”
This version of the story is set in fascist Italy pre-World War II and features the voices of Ewan McGregor, Christoph Waltz, Gregory Mann, David Bradley, Tilda Swinton, Cate Blanchett, Finn Wolfhard, John Turturro, Ron Perlman, Tim Blake Nelson and Burn Gorman.
