Pinocchio made strong use of virtual production workflows, including realtime scene planning, Simulcam integration, ICVFX staging, and rapid iteration between practical photography and digital world building. It stands out as a project where classic Disney storytelling met a modern on-set pipeline.
Based on Disney's 1940 animated film and Carlo Collodi's The Adventures of Pinocchio, this version follows the wooden puppet as he is brought to life and pushed toward becoming brave, truthful, and unselfish enough to become a real boy.
