... did Guillermo del Toro ever make a movie not about fascism? honest question

People are dunking on Guillermo del Toro's new Pinocchio film bc it's set in fascist Italy and like…they're baffled by the idea of Guillermo del Toro making a fairy tale intercut with real historic horrors…? They think it's inherently laughable as a concept?

Read an interview where he said “All you need to be human is to really behave like one, you know? I have never believed that transformation [should] be demanded to gain love” and "The virtue Pinocchio has is to disobey. At a time when everybody else behaves as a puppet—he doesn’t" and those are the most Guillermo del Toro things I've ever heard. This is who he is friends, and it rules
