In the lead trailer, Disney restores the classic scene in the 1940 animated version, showing the "old carpenter" played by Tom Hank bowing down in front of the window to make a wish to the stars, and then the stars turn into blue fairies, go to Gabit's home, and point the fairy stick on the head of the little puppet to give him life.
However, the "Blue Fairy" played by Cynthia Elivo is very different from the blonde and fair-skinned version of the 1940 animated version, so the preview is evaluated after exposure. Netizens said "why shave your head, Disney simply wants to harm black people", "Does this really help black people improve their image", "Black people are even counted, why is it bald", "What is this?" The evil rat has gone mad for political correctness and "ruined childhood". But there are still some foreign Twitter netizens who think they are very innovative and happy for the actors.
The live-action version of Pinocchio is directed by Academy Award winner Robert Zemeckis, his third collaboration with Tom Hanks after Forrest Gump and The Polar Express, and the film is expected to hit Disney+this fall.
Pinocchio (1940) was Disney's second animated feature film after Snow White. The story is based on an Italian fairy tale about an old carpenter who makes a small puppet Pinocchio and is given life by the Blue Fairy, who is told that if he can show bravery, honesty, and selflessness, he can become a real boy, but if he lies, his nose will become longer. The film won the 1941 Academy Award for Best Score and Best Original Song.
