The story of Pinocchio had fascinated me since my childhood days. It was a pleasant surprise to find Pinocchio directed by Oscar winner Guillermo del Toro last Sunday night. I should say that the movie is well made and brought back my childhood memories of this wonderful tale on small screen.

The film will be set in Italy during the 1930s. The story of the carpenter who creates dolls out of wood blocks, who has a dog for his company, goes on to create Pinocchio out of magic wood that is found on his door step one day.

This wooden toy who is named Pinocchio by his creator, comes to life over night and starts calling his creator ‘Papa’. I enjoyed this movie from start to finish.

Everyone can enjoy this movie over weekend with their family.

My rating is 4/5. Recommended.
