Pinocchio is a 2022 American musical fantasy film that is a live-action remake of Walt Disney's 1940 animated film of the same name, which itself is based on the 1883 book The Adventures of Pinocchio. The film was directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Zemeckis and Chris Weitz, and stars Tom Hanks, Cynthia Erivo, Giuseppe Battiston and Luke Evans, with the voices of Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Keegan-Michael Key, and Lorraine Bracco. The reimagined story follows a wooden puppet named Pinocchio, who is brought to life by a blue fairy after being crafted by an old Italian woodcarver named Geppetto. While the role of Pinocchio's conscience Jiminy Cricket attempts to guide Pinocchio in matters of right and wrong, Pinocchio encounters a host of unsavory characters in his efforts to become a real boy.
