The teaser trailer of Pinocchio, the live-action with Tom Hanks

The teaser trailer of Pinocchio

The magic also continues in the flesh, or so it transpires in the first Pinocchio teaser trailer. Disney has been aiming for years in the live-action transpositions of its animation classics and this time it is the turn of Collodi's fairy tale that this time will find an exceptional role: to direct the film that will cast real actors with a lot of CGI animation is Robert Zemeckis, the visionary director behind cult favorites like Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Polar Express. Together with him a long-time collaborator like Tom Hanks, who will give the face to the elderly carpenter Geppetto, who in the teaser trailer released in these hours invokes a desire for his puppet to come to life: "Make sure, fairy, that the dream will come true ".

Obviously, in addition to Geppetto, all the key characters of the story will also return in this version, starting precisely from Pinocchio who, recreated entirely with special effects, will instead have the voice of Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, child actor seen in The Haunting of Bly Manor. Another "virtual" character is Jiminy Cricket who will be voiced in the original by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Cynthia Erivo will instead be the Blue Fairy, while Luke Evans, now a veteran of these Disney adaptations having played Gaston in Beauty and the Beast, will be the fearsome little butter man. There is also a bit of Italy, as they say, in this cast, because Giuseppe Battiston (Tutti pazzi per amore, Perfect strangers) will play none other than Mangiafuoco.

The film will make its debut on September 8th directly on Disney +, on the occasion of the new Disney + Day. In fact, it will be a special day in which platform news and new unreleased content will be unveiled, all in conjunction with the D23 Expo: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, a live event to be held in Anaheim, California, dedicated to all fans. who will be able to live incredible experiences and surprising revelations, a bit like what happened recently with the Star Wars Celebration. In any case, Pinocchio will be only the first of the live-action that we will see coming in the coming months, both in streaming and in theaters: the next titles include Peter Pan & Wendy, The Little Mermaid, Snow White and still new versions of Hercules, Bambi and La Sword in the stone.
