Pinocchio could not feel pain because he is a wooden puppet as what we can see on the movie and heard in the stories about him. Moreover, in the movie, he is repeatedly shown falling down the stairs or being injured. But none of these incidents harm him. So, his body is repairable.
On the other hand, he has feelings like a human boy since he was magically turned by some mythical creature based on the Releases trailer to a human who can feel emotionally. Therefore, we could hurt his feelings that could be painful for him too.

#10 PINOCCHIO WAS SAVED BY BLUE FAIRY
Pinocchio walks away from his creator or father Gepetto to look something new of his life. After fleeing Geppetto, Pinocchio befriends the Fox and the Cat, who are attempting to steal gold pieces from him. When they try to kill him, the blue fairy saves him by lying about the gold pieces. He eventually moves in with her and begins school as her son.
Moreover, following a series of mishaps, he is swallowed by a shark and discovers his “father,” Geppetto, inside its belly, whom he saves. He is ultimately turned into a real, human boy by the blue fairy after he redeems himself by saving his father and deciding to look after him according to Sports Keeda.
#11 PINOCCHIO’S BOOK GIFTED BY HIS FATHER, GEPPETO
In the movie trailer from YouTube, Gepetto has given Pinocchio a book as a gift. It was a gift to Gepetto’s real boy but he died. But Gepetto did not expect that his creation, Pinocchio, will have a life so he decided to give it to him since Pinocchio reminds him of his little boy. Also, Pinocchio became he’s true son who turned by a magical blue fairy into a real boy.
#12 GUILLERMO DEL TORO’S PINOCCHIO FLIPSIDE
It was stated by the director that the movie is personal for him. He said “The flip-side for me has always been Pinocchio and Frankenstein is the same story. Because essentially, that’s the same story. The idea of a Pinocchio that talks about things that I consider very deep but it’s fun and it’s a musical at the same time, I find it really incredibly moving ” from Cinema Blend.
So, there is really a difference between the classic Pinocchio compared to the one directed or made by Guillermo Del Toro. It is more theatrical and musical which will interest everyone especially the music lovers.
