Requires a Region-A or Region-Free player.

The English Dolby Atmos track on Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio Blu-ray is a dynamic and immersive experience. With excellent use of overhead channels during pivotal scenes, it offers 'reference quality' sound with impressive movement and separation, though a bit more activity in some scenes could enhance it further.

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio is a visually stunning stop-motion reimagining set in Fascist Italy, blending rich, overwhelming colors with themes of war, death, and sacrifice. It diverges from Collodi's novel, making bold yet polarizing character and narrative choices, offering both breathtaking animation and thought-provoking commentary.
