Guillermo del Toro’s tender speech at the 2023 Oscars

After winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for “Pinocchio,” Guillermo del Toro couldn’t help but give an emotional speech to accompany his triumph.

In it he emphasized once again the importance of animation and emphasized that it is not a genre, but a cinema:
“Animation is cinema, animation is not a genre, animation is ready to go to another level.”

The director of “Crismon Peak” (which can be seen on ViX+, ViX’s premium streaming service), also thanked Netflix for supporting the creation of “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio.”

But mostly he dedicated this success to his wife Kim Morgan and his parents, who sadly passed away before this film was released.
