The trailer for Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio is here – and we're sobbing already.
Del Toro and award-winning stop motion animator Mark Gustafson have collaborated to create a wonderfully dark and whimsical reimagining of the classic Carlo Collodi tale. It's the one we all know and love: a little wooden puppet named Pinocchio (Gregory Mann) is created by a grieving woodcarver named Geppetto (David Bradley) – and wants more than anything in the world to be a real boy. The new animated movie sees Pinocchio embark on an enchanted adventure that transcends worlds and reveals the life-giving power of love.
In the brief clip, which can be viewed above, we see Geppetto give a school book to Pinocchio, who in turn asks if it belonged to the "other boy." The trailer than cuts to the grave of Geppetto's deceased son.
Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio first premiered at the BFI London Film Festival on October 15. is set to hit select theaters on November 11 before its December 9 streaming release on Netflix.
