Pinocchio was first released way back in 1940. This was the second animated feature film from Disney after their first success, “the one that started it all”, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. If you want to take it even further back, the film is based on the 1883 children’s book, The Adventures of Pinocchio by Italian author Carlo Collodi.  Now the beloved animated classic is returning as a live-action remake exclusively on Disney+.

In preparation for the release, Disney has dropped a trailer for Pinocchio that you can check out below!

My first impression of the trailer for Pinocchio is that it looks very much like the animated film, which is nice. We are not looking for a re-invention of the character or the story, just a good live-action version of the one we love. The puppet or real boy looks identical to the classic one we love.

This film is directed by Robert Zemeckis, the director of the classic Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It stars Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as the voice of Pinocchio and Geppetto is played by Tom Hanks. The Blue Fairy is played by Cynthia Erivo and Joseph Gordon-Levitt voices the fan favorite Jiminy Cricket. Luke Evans returns to another Disney film as the Coachman that operates the sinister Pleasure Island. Other voice actors include Lorraine Bracco and Keegan-Michael Key.
