Pinocchio is one of several new releases debuting for Disney+ Day. The fantasy film is streaming exclusively on the platform at no extra charge to subscribers. Not subscribed to Disney+?
You'll remember the awkward line delivery: “Father, when can I leave to be on my own?” Disney doesn't own the rights to Pinocchio. It's been in the public domain since the 1940's, and according to an early article by IndieWire, Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio had been in production since 2008.
Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio is very distinct from the Disney version, from the tone and themes to the animation of the iconic Wooden Puppet. Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio was released on Netflix toward the end of 2022. This version of Pinocchio has been praised for its impressive visuals and darker tone.
2022 Disney Enterprises, Inc. Disney's latest live-action remake, "Pinocchio," is now streaming on Disney Plus. The new movie stars Tom Hanks as Geppetto and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Jiminy Cricket. To watch the film, you'll need to join Disney Plus for either $8/month or $80/year.
Right now you can watch Pinocchio on Peacock, Disney+, and Netflix. You are able to stream Pinocchio by renting or purchasing on Amazon or Vudu. You are able to stream Pinocchio for free on Plex or Tubi.
Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio Beats Disney Live-Action Version In Every Way According To Rotten Tomatoes. With a Rotten Tomatoes score of 97 percent, Guillermo del Toro's Netflix version of Pinnochio surpasses the 28 percent score of Robert Zemeckis' Disney+ Pinocchio by 69 points.
While it is true that Pinocchio is among the characters most closely associated with Disney, Collodi's original literary work was published before 1927, making it fair game for any studio looking to adapt the classic tale.
Furthermore, Pinocchio creator Collodi died in 1890, meaning Pinocchio also transferred into the public domain in 1960, a full 70 years after the author's death per literary public domain regulations.
However, Pinocchio's original story, written by Carlo “Collodi” Lorenzini, is a Christian allegory full of biblical imagery. Most of the powerful imagery relating to God the Father, Christ, the Church, and salvation are hard to see in Disney's 1940 adaption of PINOCCHIO.
Pinocchio (/pɪˈnoʊkioʊ/ pin-OH-kee-oh, Italian: [piˈnɔkkjo]) is a fictional character and the protagonist of the children's novel The Adventures of Pinocchio (1883) by Italian writer Carlo Collodi of Florence, Tuscany. Pinocchio was carved by a woodcarver named Geppetto in a Tuscan village.
In this telling, the aging Italian woodcarver Geppetto has a young son who's killed by a falling missile during World War I. Many years later, Geppetto, still distraught, chops down a pine tree in a drunken rage and carves a little puppet boy out of it, as if he could somehow bring his son back.
Pinocchio's powers with his legs working as a motor for a boat were obviously added in the live-action adaption. Finally, the fact that Pinocchio is not transformed (or at least, his fate was left ambiguous) into a real boy is a major switch that tried to make a point about being happy with who you are.
“Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio,” a Netflix release, has been rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America “for dark thematic material, violence, peril, some rude humor and brief smoking.” Running time: 114 minutes.
Disney has overtaken Netflix to become the TV streaming service with the highest number of subscribers. On Wednesday, the company announced that its three platforms – Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu – had 221.1 million subscribers worldwide, compared to Netflix's 220.67 million.
Pinocchio premiered at the 66th BFI London Film Festival on October 15, 2022. It debuted in the United States at the 2022 AFI Fest on November 5, 2022. It was released in select cinemas on November 9, 2022, and began streaming on Netflix on December 9, 2022.
