Pinocchio is a 2019 fantasy film, co-written, directed and produced by Matteo Garrone, based on the 1883 book The Adventures of Pinocchio by Italian author Carlo Collodi.[4] The film stars child actor Federico Ielapi as the title character, Roberto Benigni as Geppetto,[5] Gigi Proietti as Mangiafuoco, Rocco Papaleo[6] and Massimo Ceccherini as the Cat and the Fox, and Marine Vacth as the adult Fairy with Turquoise Hair. This was the final film featuring Proietti to be released before his death in November 2020.
Geppetto, a poor Italian carpenter, decides to build a wooden puppet to tour the country and earn him a living. He names it 'Pinocchio' and — when the puppet becomes sentient — calls it his son. A Talking Cricket tries to help Pinocchio by giving him advice, but Pinocchio disregards it and burns his feet off in an accident. Geppetto promises him new feet, on the condition that Pinocchio goes to school.
Pinocchio sets off to school but is distracted by the puppet theatre. In the theater, he joins the other puppets and messes up the show. Furious that his production went upstream, Mangiafuoco locks Pinocchio in his caravan and leaves town. Pinocchio begs to return to his father, and Mangiafuoco lets him go, choosing to burn another puppet for firewood in his place. Pinocchio is upset by this and chooses to take the puppet's place. Surprised, Mangiafuoco releases Pinocchio and gives him five gold coins to give to Geppetto.
On his way home, Pinocchio meets a fox and a cat pretending to be disabled. Attracted by the coins, they suggest that Pinocchio should try to sow them so they will sprout into a tree of money in the Field of Miracles, located in the Land of the Barn Owl. The Cat and the Fox trick him and disguise themselves as hooded assassins; Pinocchio hides the coins and attempts to flee but is caught and hung from a tree. He is rescued by a blue-haired fairy, who asks him why he was not at home or in school. Embarrassed, Pinocchio lies, and his nose becomes bigger with each lie until the Fairy is forced to shorten his nose.
Having learned his lesson, Pinocchio returns home, only to meet the Fox and the Cat a second time. Seeing that their plan failed, they convince him to go to the Field of Miracles again. Upon arriving, he plants the coins, which the Fox and the Cat steal. Discovering the theft, Pinocchio reports it to the gorilla judge. Since justice does not favor the innocent in Barn Owl, he is sentenced to life. Pinocchio manages to get exonerated by saying that he committed a crime before, making him guilty, and thus he is released.
Pinocchio returns home but discovers that Geppetto has left to look for him overseas in North America. Pinocchio dives into the sea to find him but gets shipwrecked on the Island of the Busy Bees. He is saved by the Blue Fairy, who promises to turn him into a real boy if he studies and behaves.
Pinocchio goes to school and becomes the most studious boy in his class. However, he befriends Lucignolo, a disobedient boy who invites him to come to his party in the Land of Toys, where children can have fun all day long without schools or adults. After a long day in the Land of Toys, Pinocchio wakes up with donkey ears and finds Lucignolo has the same problem — they are turning into donkeys. The Coachman sells them, and Pinocchio is sold to a circus. One day, Pinocchio notices the Fairy in the audience, trips, and cripples himself. The director decides to drown him and use his skin for a drum. In the sea, the Fairy summons fishes that nibble away Pinocchio's donkey skin, bringing him back to normal.
Pinocchio swims in search for his father and is swallowed by the Terrible Dogfish, a gigantic ravenous sea monster. He finds Geppetto, alive inside the monster. Taking advantage of the Dogfish's asthma, which forces him to sleep with his mouth open, the two flee from his mouth and reach the shore.
They find an abandoned house to rest in. To heal his father, who has gotten sick from the trip, Pinocchio is hired by a farmer to earn milk. Pinocchio continues to work and study and help Geppetto while he recovers. The Fairy then grants Pinocchio his wish. He returns home and shows Geppetto that he has become a real boy.
