My Spirt Animal is probably a Platypus but Some days I feel like a buff ass unicorn 🦄. “If I desire a king by my side, I will become a king”. SnapChat: Spysha / Instagram :MyBsidelabel / Twitter :myBsidelabel #adventureswithspysha
It's so fucking unfair that Daniel Radcliffe, Elijah Wood, and Robert Pattinson have never been in a movie together where they all play the part of dirty little gremlin man that must go on a grand quest of some kind in which they spent the entire film arguing, lighting each other on fire, inexplicably dressing in drag to sneak into locations that welcome both men and women, and singing old sea shanties.
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.
