Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro reinvents the classic tale Pinocchio the wooden marionette who is magically brought to life in order to mend the heart of a grieving woodcarver named Geppetto. This whimsical, stop-motion film directed by Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson follows the mischievous and disobedient adventures of Pinocchio in his pursuit of a place in the world.

A passion project for Guillermo Del Toro that he has been developing for almost a decade to the point that he once cancelled it because no studio wanna fund the Pinocchio moviehe wanted but thank goodness Netflix picked it up. This looks amazing!
Guillermo del Toro reimagining the classic 1883 novel The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi, which follows a wooden marionette created by grieving woodcarver Geppetto
Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio, or simply Pinocchio, is an upcoming stop-motion animated musicalfantasy film directed by Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson, based on Gris Grimly design from his 2002 edition of the 1883 Italian novel The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi. It marks the animated feature film directorial debut of del Toro.
However there will be some different details. While the original story by Collodi did have talking animals, Del Toro said how he wanted to make the film more grounded, in that only Pinocchio and the talking cricket are the magical elements of the story. Characters like the fox, the cat, and even the location Pleasure Island won’t be in the film, but it does trade that out for some more relative themes on what it means to be human and being not lying to oneself, intriguing since one of Pinocchio’s most notable traits is that his nose grows when he lies.

In January 2017, McHale was announced to co-write the script, but in November 2017, the production was suspended as no studios were willing to provide financing. The production was revived the following year after being acquired by Netflix.

Literacy, grammar, morals, music, civics, sciences, drawing, reinforcing the skills:
Reading, writing, drawing, composing, reinforcing or introducing the skill of inference.
Teachers will decide carefully the animated film for which students or level they are teaching. And pay attention to age.

I admire Guillermo del Toro, a famed and visionary director and Academy Award®-winning filmmaker. The trailershowcases del Toro’s eye for scene design coupled with his attention to detail that makes stop-motion filmmaking so palpably engaging and visually appealing, someone wrote.
So, believe me I can't wait to go to some cinema near by or even watching streaming on Netflix this incredible stop-motion movie, a masterpiece based on Collodi's classical tale. The trailer promises so much!
Hoping you will not miss to include the Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchiointo your lessons next back-to-school, Carlo Collodi's book and the trailer of del Toro animation as a motivation, before November (in selected theatres) or December (on Netflix) to explore the pedagogical richness of this awesome digital resource.
In November or December, teachers can include del Toro's Pinocchio into their lessons going to the theaters with their students or watching Netflix streaming in the classroom. Depending of the hour Netflix will stream Pinocchio, teachers will invite students to do it before or after school time. Then, they will develop the activities prepared.
Note: Pay attention to younger students. The film is not similar to the traditional children's story. It's different. Some scenes can shock kids,
You must prepare the little ones before seeing on Netflix, telling them this is the point of view of the director Guillermo del Toro. He wants to show the other side of Pinocchio like some people. Be careful with the approach you will do.
