Netflix has announced the cast of Academy Award\u00ae winner Guillermo del Toro\u2019s upcoming stop-motion animated musical feature ‘Pinocchio’.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Guillermo del Toro is one of the most innovative filmmakers of this generation. Consistently breaking creative ground with every project, del Toro continues to blur the lines with increasing frequency and ease between film and television, live action and animation.<\/p>\n

Newcomer Gregory Mann will star as Pinocchio, with Ewan McGregor as Cricket, and David Bradley (Harry Potter franchise, Game of Thrones) as Geppetto.<\/p>\n

Other cast includes Academy Award \u00ae winner Tilda Swinton, Academy Award\u00ae winner Christoph Waltz, Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things) , Academy Award\u00ae winner Cate Blanchett, John Turturro (The Batman), Golden Globe winner Ron Perlman (Nightmare Alley), Tim Blake Nelson (Watchmen), Burn Gorman (Enola Holmes).<\/p>\n

Drawing on the classic Carlo Collodi tale, this stop motion musical follows the extraordinary journey of a wooden boy magically brought to life by a father\u2019s wish. Set during the rise of Fascism in Mussolini\u2019s Italy, del Toro’s ‘Pinocchio’ is a story of love and disobedience as Pinocchio struggles to live up to his father\u2019s expectations.<\/p>\n

A lifelong passion project of del Toro, the film is set to debut in theatres and on Netflix. Principal photography began last autumn at ShadowMachine\u2019s Portland, Oregon studio, and production has continued uninterrupted during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAfter years of pursuing this dream project, I found my perfect partner in Netflix. We have spent a long time curating a remarkable cast and crew and have been blessed by continuous support from Netflix to quietly and carefully soldier on, barely missing a beat. We all love and practice animation with great passion and believe it to be the ideal medium to retell this classic story in a completely new way,\u201d says del Toro.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The film is directed by del Toro and Mark Gustafson (‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’). while Del Toro collaborated with Patrick McHale in writing the script. The song lyrics are by del Toro and Katz, with music by Academy Award\u00ae winner Alexandre Desplat who will also write the score. Gris Grimly created the original design for the Pinocchio character. The film\u2019s puppets are being built by Mackinnon and Saunders (Corpse Bride).<\/p>\n

‘Pinocchio’ is produced by del Toro, The Jim Henson Company\u2019s Lisa Henson, ShadowMachine\u2019s Alex Bulkley and Corey Campodonico, as well as Exile Entertainment\u2019s Gary Ungar; it is co-produced by Blanca Lista of The Jim Henson Company and Gris Grimly. Other credits include production supervisor Melanie Coombs, co-production designers Guy Davis and Curt Enderle, animation supervisor Brian Hansen, puppet supervisor Georgina Hayns, director of photography Frank Passingham, art director Rob DeSue, and animatic editor Ken Schretzmann.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
