Disney Drops Teaser Trailer for Live-Action ‘Pinocchio’

The first trailer for Robert Zemeckis’ Pinocchio came to life Tuesday.

The first look at the live-action and computer-animated musical starring Tom Hanks as Geppetto only teases, but does not show, the doll. However, Jiminy Cricket, voiced by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, gets some solid screen time.
