Pinocchio tells the story of a wooden puppet carved by the carpenter Geppetto, which is brought to life by the Blue Fairy after the carpenter makes a wish on a shooting star. The story is based on the 1883 children’s novel The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi.

Interestingly, this was the first animated film released by the Walt Disney studio before Pinocchio in 1940. But the next Disney movie will be The Little Mermaid, starring Halle Bailey , which is scheduled to premiere in 2023.
Guillermo del Toro is also due to present his own version of the classic fairy tale by Carlo Collodi. The puppet animated film is due out on Netflix in December .
