An enthusiastic rendition of Happy Birthday rang through the auditorium at the world premiere of Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio as the London audience was informed Gregory Mann, the film’s lead voice actor, had just turned 13.
Mann was joined on stage by Del Toro, co-director Mark Gustafson, and cast members Cate Blanchett, Christoph Waltz, David Bradley, and the film’s composer, Alexandre Desplat. “We have been on this journey for about 14, 15 years, which means it’s half of my fucking career,” del Toro said of the film as he introduced the screening.
The stop-motion flick is Del Toro’s take on the classic fairy tale about a wooden marionette brought to life to mend the heart of a grieving woodcarver named Geppetto.
