Reviews / Votes
"It is hard to explain how personal the story of Pinocchio is to me... The essence of the story I wanted to tell is the story of a wooden boy who refuses to betray himself, despite all the things the adults and 'those that know better' keep telling him. And in not changing, he changes everyone around him."-- -<B>GUILLERMO DEL TORO</B>, from his Introduction
