A synopsis for the film shares, “A dark, twisted retelling of the famous Carlo Collodi fairy tale about the wooden puppet who dreams of becoming a real boy. The story is set during the rise of Fascism in Mussolini’s Italy, PINOCCHIO — a musical directed by del Toro and Mark Gustafson (Fantastic Mr. Fox) with musical score by Alexandre Desplat — is a story of love and disobedience as Pinocchio struggles to live up to his father’s expectations.”
Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio is expected to premiere on Netflix sometime in 2021. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for all things Entertainment!
