Pinocchio
Italy, 2019, Comedy/Drama
110 mins, Rated PG 13
Cast: Roberto Benigni
Roberto Benigni (Life is Beautiful) plays Geppetto, a woodcarver who creates a puppet but then something magical happens. The puppet can talk, run and eat like any young boy. Geppetto calls him Pinocchio and raises him as his own son.
But Pinocchio is easily led astray and finds it hard to always be good. So he repeatedly finds himself in trouble as he is tricked, kidnapped and chased by bandits. All the while, his guardian, the fairy tries to convince Pinocchio that he'll never realise his dream of becoming a real boy until he changes his ways for good. But first, he has a really big fish to deal with.
With ground breaking live action set against a backdrop of stunning Italian locations, Pinocchio brings alive a world of true mystery and wonder.
The most convincing, funny and touching live-action screen adaptation of Carlo Collodi’s remarkable children’s tale yet. - Screen International

Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠
If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
