Disney+ Day is here and fans are being served up a feast of updates regarding the streaming platform’s movies and films. Included in those updates is the upcoming live-action remake of the animated Disney classic, Pinocchio. On Friday, a new logo for the film, which will debut on Disney+ in Fall 2022, was unveiled. Pinocchio follows the story of Geppetto, a kind, but lonely wood-carver who builds a puppet named Pinocchio and raises him as if he were a real child. The puppet, Pinocchio, longs to be a “real boy” and goes on an adventure in the hopes of making that dream come true. The film is directed by Back to the Future and Forrest Gump director Robert Zemeckis and features a script co-written by Zemeckis and Chris Weitz (Cinderella, Rogue One; A Star Wars Story). The film also features Tom Hanks starring as Gepetto. Hanks is joined by Cynthia Erivo as The Blue Fairy, Luke Evans as the Coachman, and the voices of Benjamin Evan Ainsworth (as Pinocchio), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (as Jiminy Cricket), Keegan-Michael Key as Honest John), and Lorraine Bracco (as new character Sophia the Seagull).
