Impressive animation
The stop motion animation in this is very impressive, to the point where at times I almost forgot that it was stop motion as opposed to normal animation. The story itself is intriguing and rather sad at times, although I felt that it was a little lacking at times. A little too much talking maybe? I'm also not sure about some of the voices - Matthew McConaughey has a voice that's almost too distinctive to work well as an animated character.
Still it's a very enjoyable film and much better than the majority of animations that are released of late.

Brilliantly done
I'll be honest, except for Grand Budapest I'm not a massive fan of Wes Anderson. So I wasn't particularly bothered about this, and even more so after seeing the trailer when it was first released at the cinema - it just looked a little too weird. However I'm pleased to say that this was a surprisingly good film.

The best thing about this film is the execution. The stop motion is absolutely superb and truly flawless, it's beautiful to see stop motion made like this. And the voice cast too are brilliant. Unlike a lot of animated films, the entire cast fits perfectly and there aren't any voices that don't fit. The plot itself is interesting, dark and definitely not a kids film. It's also surprisingly funny in parts. Some of this gets a little "talky" at times and despite the short run time, the film feels a lot longer than it actually is. But it's still worth a watch for the stop motion alone.

I may watch this film now, I only ever heard radio adverts for it which was very confusing, then watched one trailer and was unsure but I’m tempted to give it a go now (:

I watched some of it with the kids but had to go and start cooking dinner so missed the last half hour or so. If you enjoyed it, I heartily recommend you check Fantastic Mr Fox out: same animation studio and an equally stellar cast of big name voices.

Wow. That's all I really have to say for this magnificent, beautiful, and emotional stop-motion film that tells the story of Pinocchio like I have never seen it before. What a glorious piece of art that may just be my new favorite Guillermo del Toro film.
