Del Toro explores fascism and puppets in dark animated 'Pinocchio'

Not suitable for today's kids! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinocchio#Fictional_character_description

Pinocchio's characterization varies across interpretations, but several aspects are consistent across all adaptations: Pinocchio is an animated sentient puppet, Pinocchio's maker is Geppetto and Pinocchio's nose grows when he lies.[6]

Pinocchio's bad behavior, rather than being charming or endearing, is meant to serve as a warning. Collodi originally intended the story, which was first published in 1881, to be a tragedy. It concluded with the puppet's execution. Pinocchio's enemies, the Fox and the Cat bind his arms, pass a noose around his throat, and hang him from the branch of an oak tree.[7]

del toro is a bit on the liberal side of things.
