Pinocchio: Unstrung Plot Overview: What Is Pinocchio: Unstrung About?  

Unlike the animated feature of Disney in 1940, Pinocchio Unstrung has a story that pins on a shocking revelation. It focuses on a life-like puppet’s eerie journey – traveling through various regions where he encounters fellow people. Instead of embracing humanity with warmth, this version of Pinocchio becomes more brutal as he sets foot in different regions of the world. Geppetto, a toymaker who is in deep sorrow, attempts to use magic to bring back his deceased son. In the end, he successfully creates a puppet with a soul; however, without a son’s essence. The emotional impression reverberates with the calamitous naiveté present in Bambi, creating faint associations between forsaken adolescence and the harrowing change of the puppet.

Once the puppet starts recognizing the emotions associated with humans, his descent drives him deep into bitterness and fury – an emotion that pushes him to self-destruction. What appears to be an untainted glimpse of a journey to find oneself actually catalyzes a chaotic bloodbath which blinds the city’s inhabitants.  the unraveling evokes the raw vengeance of The Beekeeper 2, though told through a far more surreal lens.
