Pinocchio: Interview with Guillermo del Toro

The dark fairy tale comes to life in the new film set in Mussolini's fascist Italy

In his first full length interview since Pinocchio was nominated for an Oscar, Guillermo Del Toro and his co-director Mark Gustafson came into the Today Programme studio - bringing in two of the puppets. They discussed with Martha Kearney the painstaking process of using stop motion animation which uses physical puppets, as well as the film's setting in Mussolini's fascist Italy.
