If you wish upon a star, will you wish for a Pinocchio remake? Well, you don’t have to because 2022 was the year that Pinocchio came to life in a bunch of new ways. Disney released an almost scene-for-scene remake of the magical story in live-action. Mexican filmmaker, Guillermo Del Toro decided he wanted the tale to take a more mature and darker turn using the timeless art of stop-motion animation. With two remakes happening in one year, we couldn’t help ourselves from putting them up side by side and finding all the ways they are different - and the same!
Just when we thought an old story couldn’t get any newer, Del Toro swooped in and gave us a whole new Pinocchio to dissect. From Jiminy Cricket’s recognizable name and attire to Pinocchio’s nose and quest to become a real boy, you won’t believe the ways that this story was changed. Not only are we seeing how filmmakers can take the reins and switch things up big time, but we’re even getting new backstories and theories that are seriously making us question the original.
