Netflix has debuted the first teaser for Guillermo del Toro’s adaptation of Pinocchio, which introduces Jiminy Cricket’s very different appearance.

The teaser, which is about 30 seconds long, shows Jiminy Cricket in his cute, little home ready to tell the audience a story that may differ from the one they know. “It’s a story you may think you know, but you don’t know, really,” he promises.

The stop-motion musical fantasy draws on the original 1883 novel, The Adventures of Pinocchio, more so than the Disney film. Described as a dark retelling of the classic fairytale, it is set in Italy in the 1930s, where Pinocchio tries to behave himself so that he can be transformed from a wooden puppet to a real boy. Jiminy Cricket, who introduces himself in the trailer as Sebastian J. Cricket, will be his conscience.

The star-powered cast includes Gregory Mann as Pinocchio, Ewan McGreger as Sebastian J. Cricket, David Bradley as Geppetto, Ron Perlman as Mangiafuoco, Tilda Swinton as the Fairy with Turquoise Hair, Christoph Waltz as the Fox, Cate Blanchett as Sprezzatura the Monkey, Tim Blake Nelson as the Coachman, Finn Wolfhard as Lampwick, John Turturro as Master Cherry, and Burn Gorman as Carabiniere.

Pinocchio is scheduled to premiere on Netflix in December 2022.
