[Netflix] There are some design decisions that don't work well, especially among the secondary characters like Cricket, more justified in the spirits because they are supernatural entities. But the main stop-motion work on Gepetto and Pinocchio is truly fascinating, as effective as one could hope for. This personal vision of Guillermo del Toro forms a trilogy with his other explorations of fascism in "The devil's backbone" (2001) and "Pan's Labyrinth" (2006). And it makes sense given that Fascist Italy used Carlo Collodi's tale as a patriotic symbol, as in "Avventure e spedizioni punitive di Pinocchio Fascista" (Giuseppe Petrai, 1923), in which Pinocchio faced off against a communist puppet. But it seems that it doesn't delve into this aspect for fear of losing part of the children's audience, which ends up being frustrating.
