Jiminy Cricket! A Live-Action 'Pinocchio'
movie pinocchio
This image released by Disney shows Pinocchio, voiced by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, left, and Tom Hanks as Geppetto in Disney's live-action film "Pinocchio."
The best reason to see "Pinocchio" is, unsurprisingly, Hanks, who brings a soulful melancholy to Geppetto. It's a corollary to Hanks' performance as another European-accented performance as Presley manager Tom Parker in "Elvis." Only in that film, Hanks was the one pulling the strings on a big-tent star.
