Geppetto (Tom Hanks) carves the puppet Pinocchio (voice of Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) in reaction to losing his wife and child. Wishing upon a star, the Blue Fairy (Cynthia Erivo) lands in Geppetto’s workshop and turns Pinocchio into a puppet without strings, and assigns Jiminy Cricket (voice of Joseph Gordon-Levitt) as his conscience.

A rescue by his father and friends are in order.
