Pinocchiois set to be star-studded.

Erivo added, Its a really special story that encourages people to wish and to dream.
Hearing his wish, the magical Blue Fairy brings Pinocchio to life and strikes a deal with him.
If Pinocchio shows courage and honesty, the Blue Fairy promises to turn him into a real boy.
She also assigns Jiminy Cricket to be Pinocchios guardian and conscience.
Unfortunately, Pinocchio gets into trouble when hes conned by Honest John and Gideon the Cat.
Oh, and of course, Pinocchios nose grows a few inches whenever he tells a lie.
