Pinocchio (2019)

The story of Pinocchio is a a bit sad and creepy, a lonely old men using his skills to create a companion child. Why there are two new versions being released in as many years is beyond me. This adaptation, while dark, is a rather engaging one. Roberto Benigni brings a long-suffering, haggardness to his take on Geppetto. The effects to create a world with self-moving wooden puppets, fairies, and assorted magic is fanciful and impressive.

Oscar nominations: Best Achievement in Costume Design; Best Achievement in Makeup and Hairstyling

Note: The film was released in Italian, but I watched an English dub.
