Originally, in the novel, Pinocchio is a marionette who gains wisdom through a series of misadventures that lead him to become a real human as a reward for his good deeds. This original work has been translated into as many as 260 languages worldwide. Since the first publication of the novel, it has inspired hundreds of new editions, stage plays, merchandising, television series, and movies, such as Walt Disney’s animated version. Now, Netflix is also making a stop-motion musical film with Guillermo Del Toro. Disney is also recreating the tales of Pinocchio. What would be different in Netflix’s movie than Disney’s adaptation?

The Classic tales of Pinocchio by the two streaming giants

Guillermo del Toro and Robert Zemeckis; both these filmmakers are ready to retell the original Italian story of ‘Pinocchio’. Robert has teamed up with Disney to bring back the timeless story. The Disney movie gives the live-action remake treatment following the style of Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin. Disney’s Pinocchio seems to be in Zemeckis’ limited creative field. The viewers will have to wait till September to see how effectively Disney could retell the story.

Guillermo’s adaptation with Netflix is a little different from other adaptations. Guillermo has kept the essence of the original story while changing many details. He has recreated the settings and setups. Guillermo, as usual, hasn’t limited his creative genius and dared to have a wider vision. The plot of Pinocchio is darker and more emotional.
