The teaser trailer for Disney's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinocchio_(2022_live-action_film)">live-action remake of Pinocchio</a> has dropped. Calling it "live action" is just a little more accurate than calling the CGI animals in the remake of The Lion King "live action." Tom Hanks as Geppetto is certainly himself, although hidden under a voluminous mustache. There are a few other roles played by people, but we don't see them in the trailer, except for a glimpse of Cynthia Erivo as The Blue Fairy, only partially animated by special effects. The puppets and the animals are animated. The movie will premiere on Disney+ on September 8. The year 2022 is the year of Pinocchio. Back in March, a CGI version of the story from Lionsgate starring Pauley Shore called <a href="https://youtu.be/Z4ArXSwALDU">Pinocchio: A True Story</a> went straight to DVD and on-demand. Then in December, we'll see <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinocchio_(2022_animated_film)">Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio</a>, which is completely animated, and will give us a darker, grittier version of the story. It's supposed to be a little closer to the 1883 Italian novel <a href="https://www.neatorama.com/2022/05/24/Carlo-Collodi-and-the-Original-Pinocchio/" alt="The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi" class="on">The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi</a>, while the Disney version will stick close to the story of its own 1940 film.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio will premiere on Netflix in December 2022. -via <a href="https://boingboing.net/2022/06/01/disneys-live-action-pinocchio-trailer-is-here.html" alt="Boing Boing" class="on">Boing Boing</a>&nbsp; #Pinocchio # Disney #liveactionremake #GuillermodelToro
