Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022)

Geppetto's son dies and -- in his drunken grief -- he assembles a messy doll that a benevolent spirit imbues with "life." And it's honestly terrifying. When Pinocchio was learning about the world around him I was struggling to find the fun in it and, instead, just kept thinking "burn that thing."

It's impressive animation, but it's also truly disturbing.
