No one talks about this. Pinocchio, (who is a young child,) has a weird romance thing with another puppet. The puppeteer of the other puppet is shown, and is clearly an adult.
In the afterlife, characters carry Pinocchio in a coffin while he repeatedly says that he is actually alive from inside, but the coffin is never buried. Pinocchio also falls into sinking sand to return to the land of the living.
Unrelated but With all due respect wouldn’t it be WAY less confusing if we took things to the “Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio” page I mean that’s already more or less the official title so it limits confusion with the live action Disney version and you don’t have to point out every single time in the comments
Pinocchio is a mannequin in a way, considering he's a living puppet. In the stop-motion animated movie (which this page seems to be referring to), he resembles a vaguely humanoid wooden puppet.
There are not ghosts of specific characters but spirits are seen (floating eyeball things) and souls are mentioned, Pinocchio being a reincarnation of Carlos
Geppeto’s son dies at the begging of the movie do to the war, geppeto does not recover from this which is the crux of the movie and the making of Pinocchio.
No but a child is made to feel like a burden at least partially because he is different and unable to understand and/or conform to parental and societal expectations. His father calls him a burden to his face in a moment of frustration.

Del Toro's Pinocchio has a fair amount: Shotgun is fired at monkey with helium balloons. Living puppet is shot dead by a handgun. Multiple times when people are threatened with rifle or handgun. Paint ball gun war.
Children shoot each other with paintball guns, and much of the paint is red. While the children don't actually die when shot with the paintballs, you can see children with red paint on their faces falling over as if they have died in a serious way.
