A long time passion project for the filmmaker, Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio is finally coming to life as a stop motion animated film, with del Toro writing, producing, and directing a brand new version of the classic children’s tale about a puppet who wants to be a real live boy, based on Gris Grimly‘s designs. The film, we’ve learned, is coming to Netflix this year!
Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio is headed to Netflix December 2022!
As you’d probably expect, del Toro’s Pinocchio will be quite unlike past tellings of the tale – including Carlo Collodi’s original children’s novel and Disney’s animated classic.
Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro reimagines the classic Italian tale of Pinocchio in a stop-motion musical adventure. Follow the mischievous adventures of Pinocchio in his pursuit of a place in the world.
Directed by Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson, the film features an all-star voice cast with Ewan McGregor as Cricket, David Bradley as Geppetto, and introducing Gregory Mann as Pinocchio. Other cast includes Finn Wolfhard, Academy Award® winner Cate Blanchett, John Turturro, Ron Perlman, Tim Blake Nelson, Burn Gorman, with Academy Award® winner Christoph Waltz and Academy Award® winner Tilda Swinton.
