Based on the original novel by Italian writer Carlo Collodi, Enzo D’Alo’s 2012 PI­NOCCHIO movie is a beautiful, animated re-telling of the classic children's story of fantasy and enchantment.

Carved out of a wooden trunk by his father Giupetto, Pinocchio grows from a much loved puppet, into a spirited real-life boy. Pinocchio’s ad­venture promises lessons in love, the importance of family and inner strength.

“Although Italian author Carlo Collodi wrote his hugely influential children’s novel The Adventures of Pinocchio in 1883, many people remember Walt Disney’s 1940 a­nimated feature when they recall the tale of the wooden boy. This year, thanks to the hard work of Italian director Enzo D’Alò and his talented team of artists at Cometa Film (Italy), 2d3D (France), Walking the Dog (Belgium) and Iris Productions (Ireland), animation lovers are treated to a lovely new adaptation, which is much more faithful to Collodi’s original vision.” animationmaga­zine.net
