A new teaser for "Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio," a stop-motion animated version of Carlo Collodi's children's tale, has been released.

Gregory Mann voices the titular wooden marionette who gets his magic wish to become a flesh-and-blood boy in the film from the visionary Oscar winner.

Guiding him along the way is Ewan McGregor's Sebastian J. Cricket.

"It's a story you think you know, but you don't. Not really," Cricket chuckles.

"Game of Thrones" and "Hot Fuzz" veteran David Bradley voices Pinocchio's creator Geppetto. The voice cast also includes "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" and "Stranger Things" lead Finn Wolfhard; del Toro's "Nightmare Alley" co-star and Oscar winner Cate Blanchett; Christoph Waltz, John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson; and frequent del Toro collaborator Ron Perlman.

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro reimagines the classic Italian tale of Pinocchio in a stop-motion musical adventure, airing on Netflix.
