The Naro Cinema has snagged the highly anticipated “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio” for a limited run before it debuts in select theaters nationwide in December. The movie will play at varying afternoon slots Nov. 18-23.
The stop-motion musical is a brooding take on the children’s book about a wooden puppet who wants to become a boy. Disney popularized it in its 1940 animated movie and recently released a reboot with Tom Hanks as the father and woodcarver, Geppetto, and newcomer Benjamin Evan Ainsworth in the titular role.
Del Toro is known for bringing emotional resonance to his horror and fantasy films. He won Academy Awards for the 2006 “Pan’s Labyrinth” and “The Shape of Water” in 2017.
His “Pinocchio” includes the voices of Hollywood A-listers including Cate Blanchett, Ewan McGregor and Christoph Waltz.
