• Del Toro produced the film alongside The Jim Henson Company’s Lisa Henson, Shadowmachine’s Alex Bulkley and Corey Campodonico, and Exile Entertainment’s Gary Ungar.
• Key creative on the film includes Frank Passingham (director of photography), Guy Davis and Curt Enderle (production design), Ken Schretzman and Holly Klein (editing), Alexandre Desplat (music), Ian MacKinnon, Peter Saunders, and Georgina Hayns (director of character fabrication), Brian Leif Hansen (animation supervisor), Robert DeSue (art direction), Jeffrey Schaper (vfx supervisor), Scott Martin Gershin (sound design and supervision), and Jon Taylor and Frank A.

• Synopsis: A reimagining of the classic Carlo Collodi tale of the fabled wooden boy with a whimsical tour de force that finds Pinocchio on an enchanted adventure that transcends worlds and reveals the life-giving power of love.
• Whether or not Pinocchio moves the needle with Netflix viewers will be well worth tracking. This year has proved a mixed bag for Netflix original animated features. Chris William’s The Sea Beast became the streamer’s most-watched original animated feature over the summer, but neither Richard Linklater’s Apolo 10 1/2 nor Henry Selick’s Wendell & Wild were able to break onto Netflix’s Top 10 weekly ratings.
• Besides Pinocchio, the streamer will release two other original animated features before the end of the year: My Father’s Dragon and Scrooge: A Christmas Carol.
