Pinocchio is a 2012 Italian animated film directed by Enzo D'Alò. It is based on the 1883 novel The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi.[1] The film had a budget of about €8 million.[2] It was screened out of competition at the 70th Venice International Film Festival.[3]

The original score was composed by Lucio Dalla, and includes songs performed by Leda Battisti and Nada.[4] The vocal cast of the film includes Rocco Papaleo, Maurizio Micheli, Paolo Ruffini, Andy Luotto, and Lucio Dalla.[5]

An English dub was made in Canada the same year, and it was released in the United Kingdom by Koch Media on 4 November 2013 (as Pinocchio - The Adventures of Pinocchio) and in Australia and New Zealand by Rialto Distribution. It was released in the United States by Lionsgate Home Entertainment on 10 April 2018 with help from Bang Zoom!
