ThePinocchiotrailer begins with glimpses of the titular character, before the Blue Fairy brings him to life.Hanks' Geppetto is seen playingwith him in his workshop, while Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Jiminy Cricket wanders around, probably getting ready to narrate the story. Once the puppet is brought to life, the trailer includes some fascinating shots of Ainsworth’s Pinocchio interacting with everyone around him. The CGI is being praised by fans, which isn’t a surprise, as the little puppet boy has uncanny similarities to his animated counterpart.
The trailer then reveals the moment where Pinocchio gets kidnapped, and Geppetto and Jiminy Cricket struggle to find him. From that moment on, the action-packed trailer showcases Pinocchio exploring the world, meeting new people, and just trying to be a young boy. As fireworks erupt on screen, several scenes offer a glimpse at the exciting journey that Pinocchio will go on as part of the film. In the end, he will be Geppetto’s “real boy,” a call back to the original animated film where that’s all the woodworker wants. The trailer ends with a look atPinocchio’s famous growing nose, which occurs when he tells a lie.
The much-awaited film is a live-action remake of the 1940 animated movie of the same name. Fans already know that the original was based on a children’s novel written by Carlo Collodi, which was first published as a serial in a newspaper back in 1881. It was titledThe Adventures of Pinocchioand was converted into a book in 1883. The tales narrated the story of a string puppet who wanted to be a real boy, and it is perhaps one of the few children’s novels that have traversed generations and retained its popularity over time.
