GUILLERMO DEL TORO'S PINOCCHIO is a fantasy animated film in which a wooden puppet longs to be a real boy.

violence
A man beats and kicks a monkey and cuts off the tip of Pinocchio’s wooden nose with a swordstick. Child characters are forced to take part in wargames with paint guns. A man is shot in the face with a pellet from a paint gun, and a character falls to his death after a monkey claws at his face to save the friends he is endangering. In a scene of war violence a child character is killed in undetailed fashion when a bomb falls onto a church. The character of Pinocchio dies several deaths, but as part of one of the film’s fantastical themes is returned to life each time.
threat and horror
There are scary scenes in which characters face danger, including being swallowed by a sea monster and being tied up as a bonfire is lit under them. There are also moments of threat from guns, swordsticks and explosive devices. These scenes are occasionally prolonged, but an emphasis is placed on courage and resourcefulness as the characters help one another in their efforts to save themselves, and to achieve reassuring outcomes.
language
There is mild bad language ('frigging', ‘bugger’), as well as milder terms such as 'oh my God'.
rude humour
The lyrics of a comic song contain repeated references to pooping, farting and smelling bottoms as a poo-shaped puppet joins in with the dancing.
There are upsetting scenes of grieving embedded in the film’s exploration of themes of death and mortality, which are handled in a manner that is accessible to children. The film also contains references to fascism, which is not condoned but held up to mockery and condemnation.
