It used to be that Disney's live-action version of the classic story from Robert Zeemckis was in a bit of a competition with the upcoming stop-motion version from co-directors Mark Gustafson andGuillermo delToro. The Tudum event gave everyone a closer look at the labor-intensive, captivating, and magical process that brought his movie to life.
In the new video, which features a number of different Pinocchio scenes in the midst of production, del Toro opens up a bit about what he wanted to bring to his take on the fairytale, and why he insisted that the majority of its animation was done by hand.
While there is a lot of digital production involved in the film, del Toro explained how the minute imperfections that come with hand-made stop motion art have a way of making stories like this feel more magical.
"I really wanted this movie to land in a way that had the expressiveness and the material nature of a handmade piece of animation." Research in rigs and puppetry-making has taken us.
On December 9th, there will be a new movie on the streaming service.
