Question 1

Is Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio woke?

Accepted Answer

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio has a woke score of 36/100, which means it is not especially woke compared with higher-scoring titles. The movie drops Pinocchio into Mussolini’s fascist Italy and keeps hitting the anti-fascist message hard. It flips the classic “obey and be good” lesson into “disobey bad authority is a virtue” with scenes of fascist youth camps, propaganda, and Pinocchio straight-up mocking the regime. The cast and look fit the 1930s Italian setting perfectly with zero forced diversity or modern identity lectures. Even anti-woke reviewers called it “not woke” — the politics are there but it’s old-school anti-authoritarian stuff, not the usual Hollywood agenda.
