Guillermo del Toro was like "I hate it when the happy ending is the monster turning human" and by God he's right (he also hates fascism.)

something something the creation of a sense of morality that doesn't ground you but sticks to your shoulder to remind you of the things you are doing and saying so that you come up with the conclusion yourself whether good or bad.

I believe that the sun Pinocchio uses as his signature is actually a drawing by Carlo that he sees and copies (which wouldn’t be the first similarity we see between the two)
We don’t have a clear shot of it in the Carlo scenes, but it definitely looks like this picture was drawn by Carlo since we can see a similarly sized shape of paper in the same position on the wall and I doubt 1) Pinocchio would’ve had time to draw that sun with everything else happening in his first day of life and 2) that Geppetto would’ve taken time to put it on the wall like this.

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.
