Netflix's new version of "Pinocchio," directed by Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson, sets the story in 1930s fascist Italy and makes some major changes to the plot. Geppetto (David Bradley) is a woodworker who deeply loves his only son, Carlo (Gregory Mann, who also voices Pinocchio). But Carlo is killed by a wayward bomb, sending Geppetto into a deep depression. The wood sprite (voiced by Tilda Swinton) brings Pinocchio to life to bring Geppetto joy again. The stop-motion animated film also features gorgeous original songs, including Pinocchio's super sweet "Ciao Papa" and "Everything Is New to Me." Ewan McGregor voices Sebastian J Cricket. Bring a box of tissues.
