“Pinocchio,” a spin on the 1940 animated Disney film of the same name, is itself adapted from Carlo Collodi’s children’s novel “The Adventures of Pinocchio.” The movie stars Hanks as Geppetto, a childless woodworker desperate for a son. The first look image shows a scruffy, white-haired Hanks admiring a not-yet animated Pinocchio (voiced in the film by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) on his workbench. The design for Pinocchio in the film is a close recreation of the original film’s character design, complete with a yellow hat with a red feather and a nearly identical face to the animated movie.
“Pinocchio” is scheduled to release exclusively on Disney Plus this September.
