Disney+ has prepared some special additions for Disney+ Day.

On Thursday, September 8, the streaming service will release Robert Zemeckis’ live-action adaptation of Pinocchio. Zemeckis co-wrote the screenplay with Chris Weitz, based on the classic children’s tale by Italian author Carlo Collodi. It will center on the wooden puppet who dreams of becoming a “real boy,” the relationship between a father and son, the ramifications of lying and creating stories, and living in a fantasy world. It stars Tom Hanks as Geppetto, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as the titular character, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Jiminy Cricket, Cynthia Erivo as the Blue Fairy, Luke Evans as the villainous Coachman, Keegan-Michael Key as Honest John, and Lorraine Bracco as Sofia the Seagull, a new character made just for the live-action film.
