Pinocchio is a 2019 Italian fantasy film, co-written and directed by Matteo Garrone, and based on the 1883 book The Adventures of Pinocchio by Italian author Carlo Collodi. The film stars child actor Federico Ielapi as the title character, Roberto Benigni as Mister Geppetto, Gigi Proietti as Mangiafuoco, Rocco Papaleo and Massimo Ceccherini as The Cat and the Fox, and Marine Vacth as the adult Fairy with Turquoise Hair.

Pinocchio was a passion project for Garrone, who drew the first storyboard of the story at the age of six. Unlike previous Garrone films, which were directed towards adults, Pinocchio is aimed at both adults and children. Most characters, including Pinocchio himself, were created through prosthetic make-up rather than CGI.

The film was released in Italy on 19 December 2019 by 01 Distribution, and grossed €15 million million domestically, making it the highest-grossing movie of the Christmas week in Italy, as well as Garrone's highest-grossing film domestically (his previous record being €10.2 million for 2008's Gomorrah), and the sixth highest-grossing film in Italy from 2019–20. An English-dubbed version was released by Vertigo Films in the United Kingdom and Ireland on August 14, 2020. It will be released in the United States and Canada by Roadside Attractions on December 25, 2020.

Pinocchio was met with positive reviews. It received 15 nominations in the 2020 edition of the David di Donatello Awards, winning five: Best Sets and Decorations, Best Costumes, Best Makeup, Best Hair Design and Best Visual Effects. It was also nominated in nine categories of the 2020 edition of the Nastro d'Argento Awards, winning six plus a special mention. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 89%

Post Re: Pinocchio
This was charming and beautifully shot. The makeup, visuals and backdrops are done wonderfully. The character design of Pinocchio is really well handled. The movie has elements that could be enjoyed by every family member. The only complain I have is that not every experience merits to be on screen for the growth of Pinocchio specially the donkey bits. The transformation to a boy is also very unceremonious and due to all these factors the movie is a little too long specially for kids.
