OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS
Academy Award® winner Roberto Benigni stars as Geppetto in the enchantingly reimagined Pinocchio. When a magical piece of wood falls into his hands, Geppetto carves from it his greatest creation, Pinocchio, a puppet wondrously bestowed with life. Pinocchio’s dreams of becoming a real boy are complicated by his misadventures among a host of otherworldly creatures – a fox-and-cat bandit duo, an asthmatic dogfish, a talking cricket, and others – until he meets a kind blue-haired fairy, whose only wish is to make his dreams come true.

I am not one to watch trailers as they usually give the entire film away.

I watched 30 seconds and decided I WANT THIS! Should look great in 4k!

I think that press release is wrong about the date this film came out. I think it debuted in December, 2019 in Italy, but they have a release year of 2002, when it should be 2020 as that was the wide release year. Well, sort of until Covid 19 took over.
