The first steps that made Disney the giant it is today were taken with the fairy tales adapted by the company. One of those tales was the story of Pinocchio, known almost all over the world, trying to be a real boy. The character, which we have seen on the screens many times before, will once again appear on Disney + screens.
The new adaptation will be a live-action version of half-real, half-animated footage. Many well-known names are also included in the cast of the production.

Benjamin Evan Ainsworth was chosen as the voice of our main character in the movie Pinocchio. There is Tom Hanks in the role of Gepetto, we already know his success in animation from the production of Polar Express, in which he played alone. The voice of Jiminy Cricket is given to Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the movie, while Cynthia Erivo will play the role of Peri. Robert Zemeckis, who sits in the director’s chair, has previously worked with Tom Hanks in the films Forrest Gump and Cast Away.
Zemeckis and Chris Weitz co-wrote the script for the movie. The duo also co-produces the film, along with Andrew Miano and Derek Houge. Executive producers include Jack Rapke, Jacqueline Levine, Jeremy Johns and Paul Weitz.
This production, in which we will witness the adventures of Pinocchio, whose wish to be a real child was accepted by a fairy, but who must first prove himself, will be a work that the whole family can watch together. The Pinocchio movie will premiere on Disney+ Premiere Day on September 8. You can watch the last promotional video of the production above.
