The movie holds the distinction of not only being the third movie based on ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio'' to be released in 2022 (alongside ''Animation/PinocchioATrueStory'' and Disney's remake of their ''Film/{{Pinocchio|2022Disney}}''), but also for having been in DevelopmentHell, being announced in 2008, meaning to be released in 2013 or 2014, only to miss both years and having its production suspended in 2017 because no studio wanted to fund it until 2018 when Netflix swooped right in.

* LivingForeverIsAwesome: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]. It's More like the case of ResurrectiveImmortality is Awesome, but this is Pinocchio's initial reaction to his ability. [[spoiler: As Death tries to explain each time Pinocchio dies, what makes life worth living is how short it is. Pinocchio comes to realize this when he has to sacrifice his immortality to save Gepetto. Even with this in mind, Pinocchio still outlives his loved ones since he cannot truly age, but Sebastian is confident he will die for real someday and reunite with them.]]

* AdaptedOut: The entire Land of Toys plot is removed from this version of the story with the Coachman character instead being reimagined as the Podestà, a fascist government official who wants to turn Pinocchio and other young boys into soldiers for the regime. As a result, Candlewick and the other boys are never transformed into donkeys, [[spoiler:but are instead left to an UncertainDoom as the military training camp is bombed. During the bombing run, they are seen putting on gas masks, which vaguely resemble donkey faces, though.]]

* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: [[spoiler:Pinocchio dies twice before the last act of the movie, but it's hardly an issue, as he's an immortal wooden boy who only has to spend time in the afterlife for about a couple minutes or so. In fact, he proudly boasts this fact the second time around. It's when he realizes that no one else has his luck that it starts to become a concern.]]
