History Film / Pinocchio2022Disney

A LiveActionAdaptation of the classic Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon film ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}'' that will be released as a Creator/DisneyPlus Original on September 8, 2022. The film is directed by Creator/RobertZemeckis, written by Zemeckis and Chris Weitz, and stars [[Series/TheHauntingOfBlyManor Benjamin Evan Ainsworth]] as Pinocchio, Creator/TomHanks as Geppetto, Creator/JosephGordonLevitt as Jiminy Cricket, Creator/CynthiaErivo as the Blue Fairy, Creator/KeeganMichaelKey as Honest John, Creator/LorraineBracco as Sofia, Giuseppe Battiston as Stromboli, and Creator/LukeEvans as the Coachman.

* VillainSong: The coachman gets one in this adaptation, named ''The Coachman to Pleasure Island''

* AdaptedOut: While the blue fairy does appear in the film, Pinocchio lying to her is left out. Instead it is Jiminy Cricket who takes her place on confronting Pinocchio.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Like previous live action remakes, the characters have a slight change in personality from their Disney animated counterparts:

** The Coachman while still sadistic and evil takes it up to eleven where he goes as far to turn even good children into donkeys.
** Lampwick starts off as a trustworthy friend towards Pinocchio as shown when the pair go on a toboggan ride and boat together. However Lampwick shows his true mask when he starts to demolish Pleasure Island with a catapult, while a shocked Pinocchio looks on in horror in contrast to the original film where Lampwick was already revealed to be a trouble maker such as sling shooting the donkeys pulling the coach, willing to hit someone just for amusement and smashing a window while Pinocchio had no problem with it and even joins him doing these bad things.

* DemotedToExtra: It appears the blue fairy has far less screen time than she did in the original film. Other than singing the song When you Wish Upon a Star and bringing Pinocchio to life her role is otherwise diminished. For example it seems Jiminy Cricket takes her place on confronting Pinocchio in Stromboli’s caravan.

** Gepetto is less of a bumbling father to a papa wolf when his own son goes missing.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In the original film, the blue fairy was only to happy to happy to appoint Jiminy Cricket as Pinocchio’s conscience. In this film though the blue fairy is strongly implied to be omnipotent as she confronts Jiminy Cricket for being an insect with a lost soul, hopping from home to another, having no direction, no job and no direction, implying Jiminy is simply a lazy and arrogant character.

* SeaMonster: Monstro appears briefly in the second trailer, and has received a more monstrous makeover -- having bulging eyes and what appear to be scales on the underside of its jaw.

LeanAndMean: The Coachman, even though he is no longer a FatBastard in the remake. He still remains a sinister and malicious man, who has no good intentions towards Pinocchio and the other children.

TalkingAnimal: Unlike the [[Film/DisneyLiveActionRemakes Disney Live-Action Remakes]], where the talking animal characters have very minor roles or no voices at all like in ''Film/{{Maleficent}}'', ''Film/Cinderella2015'', ''Film/Dumbo2019'' and ''Film/Mulan2020'', due to HumanFocusedAdaptation and AdaptationalNonsapience. Here though, the remake features talking animals like Jiminy Cricket, Honest John and Gideon, and there's even a talking seagull named Sofia.

* AgeLift: In the original movie, the Coachman was a [[FatBastard fat old man]], but in the remake, due to AdaptationalAttractiveness, the Coachman is played by Creator/Luke Evans, a handsome young man.

* AdaptationalVillainy: The Coachman is even more evil in this version, as it's shown he's willing to take kids to Pleasure Island who may not necessarily be interested in the promises of food, fun, and no rules. Pinocchio has a conversation with him on the way there where he explains his goal of wanting to become a real boy and the Coachman tricks him into thinking he may get his wish there.

* FatBastard: As in the original film, Stromboli is seen as this in trailer 2, who looks incredibly rotund by human standards.

* TruerToTheText: In contrast to past Film/DisneyLiveActionRemakes, the character designs in the film are shown in the trailers to be extremely faithful to the animated designs from the original Disney film. This is especially the case with Pinocchio himself, who is shown to be a CGI recreation of his original animated design with little changes outside of some wooden texturing.

* TruerToTheText: In contrast to past Film/DisneyLiveActionRemakes, the character designs in this film are extremely faithful to the animated designs from the Disney animated film. Especially Pinocchio's, which is effectively the same animated design he had in the original film, just in CGI.

* LevelAte: One of the attractions on Pleasure Island is a toboggan ride down a mountain made of sugary sweets, as seein in the second trailer.

* BaldMystic: While not bald ''per se'', the Blue Fairy is depicted as having a very short hairdo. Not surprising, as this is Creator/CynthiaErivo's signature look.
* BritishTeeth: The Coachman, now depicted with a "mysterious" and unkempt look, has quite the crooked smile.
* FatBastard: As in the original film, Stromboli, who looks incredibly rotund by human standards.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: While Pinocchio is talking with Honest John about him becoming an actor, Gideon is attempting to eat Pinoke's schoolbook.
* IncrediblyLamePun: Jiminy's response to Pinocchio's nose growing when he lies.
-->'''Pinocchio:''' What's happening, Jiminy?
-->'''Jiminy:''' Looks like some sort of fairy magic. Kinda ''on the nose'', if you ask me.
* LevelAte: One of the attractions on Pleasure Island is a toboggan ride down a mountain made of sugary sweets.
* MetaphoricallyTrue: When Pinocchio asks the Coachman is he'll become a real boy on Pleasure Island, he responds "You won't be a puppet anymore, that's for sure". Not a puppet, yes, but ''definitely'' not a boy either.
* ShadowDiscretionShot: As Lampwick turns into a donkey, one scene has his morphing shadow cast over [[ReactionShot a horrified Pinocchio]].

* ThreePointLanding: Pinocchio does this when landing on Geppetto's raft inside Monstro.

->You'll always be my real boy.
