In interviews, Guillermo Del Toro has stated that in his version, Pinocchio's nose grows not just when he lies but when he is not true to himself. This adds an intriguing interpretation to the way his nose 'grows' organically - it is a visual indication that his grip on his personhood is fading away and he is in danger of returning to the base materials from which he came. It's also thematically connected to writer Patrick McHale's best-known work Over the Garden Wall, which also ends with a child gradually turning into a tree because he believes he is "bad".
