Following its screenings on the festival circuit and its theatrical release in July, Mateo Garrone’s live action telling of the beloved classic Pinocchio story is set for release on digital from December 7, and on DVD from December 14, 2020 through Vertigo Releasing. We have the full release details below for the release.
PINOCCHIO tells the tale of an old woodcarver named Gepetto (Roberto Benigni) who creates a puppet, which then magically comes to life. Gepetto names him Pinocchio (Federico Ielapi) and brings him up as his son. Pinocchio however finds it hard to be good and is easily led astray. He ends up stumbling from one misadventure to another – whether in the belly of a giant fish, in the Land of Toys or in the Field of Miracles. It is up to his loyal friend the Fairy (Marine Vacth) to help him see that his dream of becoming a real boy is only possible if he finally changes his ways.
The film will be released in both subtitled and dubbed versions. We currently have no visibility of bonus material, but we’ll keep you posted.
