In fact, it seems like it’s been a while since we last had a new entry in Disney’s long-running series of live-action remakes of animated classics, but that vacation will be over very soon, because we know that PinocchioDirected by Robert Zemeckis it is now slated to arrive on Disney + on September 8th. While the movie is only a few weeks away, we haven’t seen much before, let alone the main character Pinocchio, but the full trailer is here and, well, it looks like. Pinocchio.
We saw in the previously released single still that the CGI Pinocchio that would accompany the live action cast would be essentially the same 3D version as the original animated film, and now, with a full trailer. , we see that practically everything else in the film will give life to the animated film.
The trailer shows the secondary characters of the fantastic Pinocchio actors, such as Foulfellow and Gideon, who remain respectively a fox and a cat, while other characters such as Stromboli remain human. The world of Pinocchio it doesn’t make much sense, but these are just details.
Disney has tried a variety of different strategies when making live-action versions of animated films with varying levels of success. We’ve seen movies that tell the same story as the Disney movie from another perspective, or we’ve seen movies that work more like sequels or prequels than remakes, but Pinocchio is clearly set up to follow movies like The Lion King This is the lady and the wayfarerwhich are largely the same story in a new medium.
If there is a place where we are given a clue as to where the new one is Pinocchio he can deviate from the old man, he is with the character of Geppetto. We see a short scene in the trailer, of Pinocchio’s father wondering why he’s not home, a scene not in the 1940 film. Geppetto disappears for much of the film once Pinocchio goes to school and doesn’t reappear until the wooden boy. he does not find his father inside a whale.
It’s not that surprising that Geppetto can play a bigger role in this live-action remake. You don’t hire Tom Hanks to play the role and then give him a small part. And if there is somewhere where the new version of Pinocchio I could say that something new with the material is in the relationship between father and son, which doesn’t really have much time to develop in the original film before the boy goes on an adventure.
Some of Disney’s live-action remakes have gone quite well, finding a way to say something new or just presenting the same material in a new way. We will know if Pinocchio is one of those when the movie arrives Disney day +September 8.
