Ahhh okay, that does make the ending a bit better for me if that's the case.

I enjoyed this movie as it's gorgeous and I love Guillermo Del Toro as a director, but I was pretty hung up on the ending especially.

Did anyone else feel like themes of mortality were weakened considerably by the handling of Pinocchio's >!immortality!<?

>!Especially when it's revealed that he's able to become mortal whenever he wants. And when he becomes mortal to sacrifice himself, he's brought back to life and made immortal again. And it seems to be implied he can also choose when to die as well?!<

>!After eternal life being brought up as eternal pain, the brevity of human life's importance to being human, and the threat of being alive until the end of time, I was extremely disappointed and slightly bothered this was all just written away by the ending.!<
