The idea of remaking Disney’s animated classics of yesterday and today does not come from modern times: thirty years ago, in 1994, Stephen Sommers gave his particular vision of ‘The Jungle Book’, followed by ‘101 Dalmatians (more alive never)’. The experiment worked but was not resumed on a large scale until 2015, when Kenneth Branagh adapted ‘Cinderella’ in his own way. Since then, There hasn’t been a year without a live-action adaptationand this year it is the turn of ‘Pinocchio’, a decision as risky and creative as eating a croissant for breakfast.

Disney seems torn between giving the director total freedom for these remakes (such as Tim Burton with ‘Dumbo’) or follow the original film step by step (‘The Lion King’, of which, by the way, a sequel is expected). In the case of ‘Pinocchio’ it seems that Robert Zemeckis has chosen a middle ground: the designs are the same but the visual style he is much more creative than he was asked to be.
In the first trailer, which announces its release for Disney+ Day, September 8we see all the recognizable elements: Gepetto’s workshop, Pinocchio’s nose, Jiminy Cricket, the whale… But with a frankly surprising production design for the little desire they have put into the redesigns of the characters.

It is not the only ‘Pinocchio’ that awaits us this year: Guillermo del Toro has prepared his own versionthis yes, that does not have ‘When you wish upon a star’ but has a style like ‘Coraline’ or ‘James and the giant peach’ irresistible compared to the continuity of Disney. It is not that the mouse company cares about criticism of its way of extracting milk from the cow even when it seems that there is no more left: they are already preparing more than ten remakes, among which are ‘Bambi’, ‘Robin Hood’, ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ and even ‘Lilo and Stitch’. Will the goose that lays the golden eggs ever stop being profitable? It seems that as long as Disney + exists, it is not even feasible.
