  • WATCH: Disney’s Live-Action ‘Pinocchio’ Trailer Reveals the Wooden Boy

    Disney’s live-action adaptation of Pinocchio has dropped a new trailer, and it finally gives us a good look at the iconic character from the classic Disney film. Watch the new trailer below:

    After Beauty and The Beast, Mulan, Lion King, and Aladdin, the beloved tale of Pinocchio is next to get a live-action adaptation from Netflix. As seen in the trailer, the live-action Pinocchio does not stray away from the classic design, while his father, Gepetto, is brought to life by Tom Hanks.

    Pinocchio tells the story of the woodworker Gepetto who wishes that the puppet he made would come to life. His wish gets granted, and he treats Pinocchio like his son. However, the wooden boy would find himself in all sorts of mischief, and would soon be shipped to Pleasure Island where there are no rules for boys like him– a deal that comes with scary consequences.

    Alongside Tom Hanks are stars Benjamin Evan Ainsworth who will voice Pinocchio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Jiminy Cricket, Lorraine Bracco as Sofia the Seagull, Cynthia Erivo as the Blue Fairy, Keegan Michael-Key as Honest John, and Luke Evans as the Coachman.

    The film is set for release on Disney Plus this September 8. It is yet to be announced if the film will be available in Philippine theaters.

    Aside from this live-action take on the Disney classic, Netflix is also set to release their stop-motion animated film Pinocchio from Guillermo del Toro. Watch the trailer here. Follow us on  Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to get the latest news on film, TV, and more updates around the city!

  • WATCH: Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Pinocchio’ on Netflix Reveals a New Trailer

    A new teaser trailer for Netflix’s stop-motion musical, Pinocchio, has been released!

    We now get a better look at director Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson’s take on the classic tale, with the trailer finally featuring Pinocchio and his father, Gepetto. Watch the new teaser trailer for Pinocchio below:

    The first teaser trailer for Pinocchio was released in January but only revealed the Talking Cricket. Now, the new trailer shows us the grieving woodcarver Gepetto and the wooden boy he carved and treated as a son, Pinocchio. It also teased a story about “loss and love”, and a story that “you may think you know, but you don’t.”

    While most may know the story of Pinocchio from Disney’s classic film, which is also getting its own live-action film this year, fans of Del Toro may expect that this story would be more loyal to the original source material, the novel by Italian author Carlo Collodi.

    The voice cast of the film includes Ewan McGregor as the Cricket, David Bradley as Geppetto, Gregory Mann as Pinocchio, Finn Wolfhard, Cate Blanchett, John Turturro, Ron Perlman, Tim Blake Nelson, Burn Gorman, Christoph Waltz, and Tilda Swinton.

    The film will be released on Netflix and in select theaters sometime in December this year.

    Director Guillermo del Toro, who is known for films such as Pan’s Labyrinth, The Shape of Water, and Hellboy to name a few, is soon to reveal his stop-motion take on a classic children’s story, Pinocchio.

    Netflix has just unveiled the first teaser to the upcoming musical adventure, which features the iconic Cricket– voiced by Ewan McGregor– as he is about to tell us the story of the wooden boy. Watch it here:

    Pinocchio comes from the 1883 children’s novel, The Adventures of Pinocchio by the Italian writer Carlo Collodi. While it has been adapted into film multiple times, most notably by Disney, its main premise remained– a wooden puppet created by a man named Gepetto is brought to life and is searching for his place in the world. Meanwhile, another well-known feature of the wooden boy is that his nose gets longer when he lies.

    With Guillermo del Toro directing alongside Mark Gustafson, viewers may also expect Del Toro’s distinct style of injecting dark and serious themes and visuals into stories of fantasy. Sebastian J. Cricket himself teased in the trailer that in this Pinocchio, there’s more to the story than we know of.

    Also starring in the stop-motion musical are David Bradley as Geppetto, Gregory Mann as Pinocchio, Finn Wolfhard, Cate Blanchett, John Turturro, Ron Perlman, Tim Blake Nelson, Burn Gorman, Christoph Waltz, and Tilda Swinton. The film is set for release in December this year.
