Pinocchio Trailer: Tom Hanks' Geppetto Recreates Classic Disney Scene
Disney is diving back into its vault of classics with the official live-action Pinocchio trailer. The past seven years have seen the House of Mouse produce a number of live-action adaptations of their animated classics, beginning with Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, which also acted as a sequel to the original film. They have continued with remakes of Cinderella, The Jungle Book, Beauty and the Beast, Dumbo, Aladdin, The Lion King, Lady and the Tramp and Mulan, all of which have varied in critical favor but most of which have proven to be box office successes.
Pinocchio tells the story of kind-hearted woodcarver Geppetto who builds the titular puppet and wishes for it to come to life, subsequently raising him as his own son. Brought to life by The Blue Fairy, Pinocchio must learn the value of honesty as every time he lies his nose grows larger while also striving to become a real boy. Benjamin Evan Ainsworth is voicing Pinocchio for the live-action film while Tom Hanks is starring as Geppetto, Cynthia Erivo as The Blue Fairy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Jiminy Cricket, Luke Evans, Keegan-Michael Key and Lorraine Bracco.
