No art form has influenced my life and my work more than animation and no single character in history has had as deep of a personal connection to me as Pinocchio, the acclaimed director Guillermo del Toro has said. He specifically cited the concept behind Pan’s Labyrinth - an anti-fascist fairy tale set against the backdrop of the civil war in Spain - as for why he can’t “do a regular movie.” “I really believe that the movies I do, most of the time, I do them because the premise is so absolutely bonkers.” “I had an idea to do Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, but I don’t think it’s going to happen,” del Toro said, to the audience’s disappointment.
