Ewan McGregor narrates the trailer as Cricket

"I want to tell you a story," coos Ewan McGregor's Cricket in the new trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio. "It's a story you think you may know, but you don't. The story of the wooden boy."

While we may be very aware of the famous brought-to-life marionette's story, Netflix's new adaptation looks set to be a truly unique take. Del Toro, best known for his Oscar-winning flick The Shape of Water and his brilliantly imaginative fable Pan's Labyrinth, helms the stop-motion movie with Fantastic Mr. Fox animator Mark Gustafson, and the trailer teases a whimsical trip into the unknown.

Del Toro's version reaches the streaming service this December. For something to watch in the meantime, check out our list of the best Netflix movies and best Netflix shows streaming right now.
