[40] Critical response [ edit ] Cynthia Erivo plays The Blue Fairy, a magical being that turns Pinocchio into a living puppet and plans to turn him into a real boy as long as he's honest enough. Most of the characters in this new Pinocchio appeared in the original Pinocchio but in case you haven't seen it or just forgot, here are brief summaries of all the characters in Disney's Pinocchio remake.

Medina, Joseph Jammer (August 21, 2018). "Disney's Live-Action Pinocchio Writer Chris Weitz Says They're Still Developing The Script (Exclusive)". LRM Online.

I think Disney has done a rather wonderful job with this. The supplements are mostly good and worthwhile, but I was most impressed with the presentation. Probably one of their better releases for a classically animated film. Erivo hits the notes needed to perform "When You Wish Upon a Star", which gets some modest and inoffensive additions. Although she now gets to perform the movie's standout song, her Blue Fairy is brief, not even resurfacing to help Pinocchio as she does in the 1940 one. Following that ghastly thing is a 5-minute featurette from 1992, A Wish Come True: The Making of Pinocchio, which is really more of an ad. And then we get a 4-minute storyboard to film comparison for the sequence where Gepetto puts the finishing touches on Pinocchio: the storyboards are presented above the finished scene. There is then a Song-Selection option, where you can jump to any song in the movie, the lyrics displayed via subtitles.

Giuseppe Battiston as Stromboli, a puppet master who intends to force Pinocchio to perform onstage to make money. He speaks with an Italian accent and curses gibberish when he gets angry. [4] Gepettos Then and Now seems to be a well-meaning feature at first, looking at toymakers through the years, getting interviews from various toymakers from around the world. Unfortunately it then turns into something more like an ad for Disney’s toys, with a Wall-E toy (that is admittedly cute) at the center. It runs a probably too long 11-minutes. Under “Classic Bonus Content” (featuring material from the old DVD and Blu-ray releases) we first get the 56-minute documentary No Strings Attached: The Making of Pinocchio. It’s very similar to other making-of documentaries from Disney, giving an incredibly thorough overview. There aren’t any real surprises in it, but it does go over the production history from inception to release, explaining how Disney went about adapting the story. It’s at its most interesting, though, when it goes over some of the more advanced technical elements, like the multi-plane camera that helped create depth in a number of scenes, or material on the sound effects and music. It’s a worthwhile feature to go through.

These conditions require that the filmmakers accept along with built-in recognition and broad commercial appeal a glass ceiling that hangs over their artistic achievements. No one who loves cinema will endlessly sing praises of a faithful new take on an old classic. I've enjoyed a few of Disney's efforts in this class, including The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast. But it's far easier to celebrate a remake that takes chances, like Cruella, than one that just goes through all the established beats without enraging you.

In Walt’s Words manages to be decent and might be the strongest of the newly produced features (though I’m not taking into account the inclusion of a short film on this release). It presents audio recordings of Walt Disney talking about Pinocchio and how the success of Snow White got the film made and advanced the technology they used for animated features, allowing them to experiment rather freely. It also allowed them to divvy up the work a bit more and create more departments. Again, I would have liked a bit more meat but it’s fine in the end. Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio is rated PG. Parental guidance is suggested, meaning some material may not be suitable for children. Parents are urged to give "parental guidance." The movie may contain some material parents might not like for their young children. 7.6 A few steps up from that is Walt’s Story Meetings: Pleasure Island, which works to offer a basic look into how the story meetings and planning for these animated films went. Historian J.B. Kaufman and director Pete Docter talk a bit about how Disney had his team put together story ideas (including dozens for this film that were ultimately not used) and how Disney planned on using the profits from Snow White for it and advancing the animation team. Here the focus is on the “Pleasure Island” sequence, at one point called “Boobyland” and we get some samplings of the various ideas through transcripts from the meetings along with designs and storyboards. We even get some reenactments of these meetings. There is probably a more interesting and insightful piece buried in here somewhere but as it is it really only offers a superficial analysis.
