Everything is coming up “Pinocchio.”
The spring saw the release of the Russian-made animated film “Pinocchio: A True Story” featuring the voice of Pauly Shore as the puppet who wants to become real. Decider described it as as “Pinocchi-oh-no.” And then Disney+ premiered its new live action/CGI remake of the 1940 Disney animated classic “Pinocchio,” directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Tom Hanks as Geppetto this past Sept. Most critics thought it was rather “wooden.”
Looks like the third time is the charm with Guillermo del Toro’s stop-motion animated “Pinocchio.” It debuted to rave reviews at the BFI London Film Festival, and will get a limited release in November before streaming on Netflix starting Dec. 9. This version of Carlo Collodi’s beloved 1883 Italian novel “The Adventures of Pinocchio” is set in Fascist Italy of the 1930s and is based on Gris Grimley’s designs from his 2002 edition of the novel.
