Details:
- Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio is directed by del Toro and Mark Gustafson (supervising director, The PJs; animation director, Fantastic Mr. Fox). Del Toro also co-wrote the script with Patrick McHale (Over the Garden Wall, Adventure Time).
- Del Toro produced the film alongside The Jim Henson Company’s Lisa Henson, Shadowmachine’s Alex Bulkley and Corey Campodonico, and Exile Entertainment’s Gary Ungar.

- Whether or not Pinocchio moves the needle with Netflix viewers will be well worth tracking. This year has proved a mixed bag for Netflix original animated features. Chris William’s The Sea Beast became the streamer’s most-watched original animated feature over the summer, but neither Richard Linklater’s Apolo 10 1/2 nor Henry Selick’s Wendell & Wild were able to break onto Netflix’s Top 10 weekly ratings.
- Besides Pinocchio, the streamer will release two other original animated features before the end of the year: My Father’s Dragon and Scrooge: A Christmas Carol.
