50 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2021

31. Pinocchio

Pinocchio Guillermo del Toro
Netflix

Guillermo del Toro's long-gestating stop-motion animated retelling of Pinocchio has been in the works since 2008, and will see the filmmaker teaming up with both The Jim Henson Company and Netflix to produce this dark new version.

The scant concept art released looks spectacular, while the voice cast includes the esteemed likes of Ewan McGregor, Ron Perlman, Tilda Swinton, Christoph Waltz, Cate Blanchett, Tim Blake Nelson, Finn Wolfhard, Burn Gorman, and John Turturro. If that's not enough, the great Alexandre Desplat will compose the film's score.

With del Toro at the helm, it's safe to assume this will be a major contender for 2022's Best Animated Film Oscar.

Release Date: TBA
