In 1940 Disney debuted Pinocchio’s story through an animated version. At the first glimpse of the reimagined classic, we see Tom Hanks starring as Geppetto adorably creating his wooden puppet and going to bed to wish upon a star for a son. Starlight, star bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might Have the wish I wish tonight,” he receipts the prayer as from the original film.
The teaser shows how the Blue Fairy, played by Cynthia Erivo enchants the iconic tune to bring the puppet to life and fulfil Geppetto’s wish.
Poster of Pinocchio
The poster of the upcoming retelling shows Pinocchio as he steps foot on his adventure to become a real boy by using as conscience as his only guide on this thrilling path. The silhouette of Pinocchio depicts him in the same attire as the original 1940s film attire. The look of the character is completed with his iconic yellow and blue cap with a feather poking out.
