 Rating: 5.0/5.0 |
Geppetto (voice of David Bradley) is distraught after the death of his son in a bombing raid, during the 1930s era of fascist Italy. In a drunken mournful rage one night he creates the slapdash wooden boy Pinocchio (Gregory Mann) who is brought to life by the Wood Sprite (Tilda Swinton). At the same time, the piece of wood that contains Pinocchio’s heart lies a traveling cricket named Sebastian (Ewan McGregor) who becomes his conscience. As the puppet with no strings, he is kidnapped by Count Volpe (Christoph Waltz) to perform in his traveling show. Geppetto, distraught again, must find him and bring him home.
