Guillermo del Toro's 'PINOCCHIO' For Netflix Gives Off 'Pans Labyrinth' Vibes In Official Poster

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio is finally getting to see the light of day over at Netflix and this stop motion animation feature is sure to give you Pans Labyrinth vibes. With del Toro writing, directing, and producing the film, we’re sure to get a classic from the Oscar winning director and see his true vision come to through the screen.

Del Toro’s passion project comes to Netflix on December 9, but first in limited theaters in November.

Check out Netflix’s brand new official poster below, which proudly proclaims that the film is “from the visionary director of Pan’s Labyrinth and The Shape of Water.”

As you’d probably expect, del Toro’s Pinocchio will be quite unlike past tellings of the tale – including Carlo Collodi’s original children’s novel and Disney’s animated classic.

Here’s the official synopsis from Netflix: “Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro reinvents Carlo Collodi’s classic tale of the wooden marionette who is magically brought to life in order to mend the heart of a grieving woodcarver named Geppetto. This whimsical, stop-motion film directed by Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson follows the mischievous and disobedient adventures of Pinocchio in his pursuit of a place in the world.”

Directed by Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson, the film features an all-star voice cast with Ewan McGregor as Cricket, David Bradley as Geppetto, and introducing Gregory Mann as Pinocchio. Other cast includes Finn Wolfhard, Academy Award® winner Cate Blanchett, John Turturro, Ron Perlman, Tim Blake Nelson, Burn Gorman, with Academy Award® winner Christoph Waltz and Academy Award® winner Tilda Swinton.
