Pinocchio is a tale as old as time and has transcended generations and retained its popularity. When news of its live-action adaptation broke, many were skeptical of the puppet’s appearance. But, based on the first Pinocchio trailer, not only has the upcoming Disney project captured the essence of the story, but it also managed to adapt the original quite closely. The fan-made video puts together exact replicas of scenes that were first seen in the 1940 classic, which seem to have been rehashed for the upcoming film.

The video shared on YouTube uses the audio from the Pinocchio trailer and combines the new video with scenes from the original. “This video is intended to illustrate the variety of choices possible when creating a motion picture based on a written work and its remake,” reads the caption. From the first scene of Pinocchio sitting in Geppetto’s workshop, the similarities are uncanny as the video progresses. Tom Hanks brings Geppetto to life beautifully, whereas the CGI used to create Benjamin Evan Ainsworth’s Pinocchio is almost immaculate. Many of the scenes are replicated wonderfully, including the moment where the Blue Fairy brings the puppet to life.

As the video continues, it is fascinating to watch the similarities in both films. From Jiminy Cricket’s cheerful persona to the red fox’s deception, all the way to the tiny details that the creative team kept in mind when bringing Figaro the Cat and Cleo the Goldfish to life, they all combine to make the video such a fun watch. The scenes in the amusement park are slightly different, but that’s probably because the latest technology allows for better graphics. The moments in the Pinocchio remake are more colorful and vibrant as compared to the original.

Pinocchio is gearing up for its release, which is scheduled on Disney Plus day. It will introduce the new generations to the tale of a puppet that was brought to life by a magical fairy after its owner wished for it to be a “real boy.” Apart from Hanks and Ainsworth, the film stars Cynthia Erivo as the Blue Fairy, Luke Evans as The Coachman, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the voice of Jiminy Cricket.

Pinocchio is scheduled to premiere on Disney Plus on September 8, 2022.
