Did You Know?
| Trivia | After several adaptations that had made the story family-friendly, director Matteo Garrone wanted this movie to go back to the grim atmosphere and satirical tone of Carlo Collodi's original novel, complete with depictions of cruelty and extreme poverty. Garrone said that much of the criticisms of the film's violent content came from adults, while children in the test audience were quite relaxed about that aspect. See more » |
| Goofs | When Pinocchio is at the Palace of Justice being tried, he says that he is a thief and he stole a chicken, jewels and many other things. Of course, these are lies but his nose does not grow. See more » |
