"Academy Award winner Robert Zemeckis directs this live action retelling of the beloved tale of a wooden puppet who embarks on a thrilling adventure to become a real boy. Tom Hanks stars as Geppetto, the wood carver who builds and treats Pinocchio (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) as if he were his own son."

According to the trailer, Pinocchio is a puppet created by the woodcarver Geppetto. A fairy brings him to life after Geppetto, a childless man, makes a wish.
