Netflix Makes ‘Pinocchio’ Art Book And Screenplay Free For All To View
Last November, Netflix released Pinocchio, its stop-motion spin on the classic tale of a wooden boy who comes to life. Created by directors Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson, the film received critical acclaim from multiple publications.
If you happen to be a fan, or are planning on checking out the Golden Globe-nominated movie soon, here’s good news. The streaming service recently released the story’s full digital art book for the audience to flip through at no cost.
Written by Gina McIntyre, a notable author of art books and companion pieces for movies, including the likes of Little Women, Ready Player One, and The Shape Of Water, the 224-page tale showcases all the concept art behind the film.
Describing the release as a “handcrafted masterpiece,” the book gives insight into how animation was brought “to a new level of sophistication and resonance,” and allows one to follow the journey that brought Pinocchio from vision to screen.
Catch a glimpse of how the characters, scenes, and promotional material came to life, together with commentary from key staff involved in the project, and even a foreword from del Toro himself.
Along with the art book, viewers can also access the movie’s screenplay for free. The 120-page script was penned by del Toro and Patrick Hale, fleshing out details of the tale first thought up by the director, and fellow screenwriter Matthew Robbins.
