A stop-motion musical version of Pinocchio is on its way and it’s going to be on Netflix!

It’s all happening thanks to Guillermo Del Toro, who won an Oscar for Best Picture for The Shape of Water and also won an Oscar for Best Director…so you KNOW this has to be good!

Guillermo Del Toro will be producing, writing and directing the movie! He says, “No art form has influenced my life and my work more than animation and no single character in history has had as deep of a personal connection to me as Pinocchio,In our story, Pinocchio is an innocent soul with an uncaring father who gets lost in a world he cannot comprehend. He embarks on an extraordinary journey that leaves him with a deep understanding of his father and the real world. I’ve wanted to make this movie for as long as I can remember.”

The production should be starting this fall, so it’s time to get excited!!
