Pinocchio and its impact on the child Guillermo del Toro
when i was little, Guillermo del Toro he was easily scared and the Disney movie about Pinocchio scared himremember.
It was the second tape that little Guillermo watched with his mother and, although it brought them close to him, it also made him think about the dark side of childhood.
“It scared me because I said, ‘Look, that’s how scary childhood is.'”Del Toro says.
For the Mexican filmmaker, the conception of this story changed over time, since when he became an adult he began to find possibilities within the same plot that had scared him as a child.
“You realize that it is a universal story that can be applied to everything, to art, politics, parenthood, it is a harsh metaphor for creation, it is a metaphor for so many things that you can apply to science fiction, to the fascist era, to a metaphor about lies in politics, in the family, etc.says the director.
Pinocchio, the idea that Guillermo del Toro wanted to capture in his version

The tape, which was worked minute by minute until completing 116, tells the story of a puppet that comes to life, but is not a good boy, and causes mischief.
