Katyvessaints - No Thanks. I’m Good 👍

I've ALWAYS hated the story of Pinocchio.

Yes, the story is about a puppet not understanding right from wrong - and so does the wrong thing and earns consequences from those actions.

But it always resulted in such an unlikable character.

Then Del Torro comes around and makes the best version literally ever. Everything is perfect.

He didn't join the circus because he was a little twat. He joined because, in the town where people resented him, he found a place where he was 'loved' and 'accepted.'

And for once! Geppetto is written to be an actual human being! Not some pure-hearted old man incapable of any other emotion than love. Del Torro's Geppetto is flawed. He's human. He's in pain. His love for Pinocchio is genuine. He doesn't love the puppet because tHaT's ThE RiGhT thInG tO dO - but because he actually loves him.

have you ever loved a lyric so much that when you hear it feels like your heart is trying to burst out of your body

Yes.
