On November 19, 2020, it was announced that Roadside Attractions had bought the US rights to the film. It received six Golden Raspberry Award nominations, including Worst Picture and Worst Actor for Hanks, and won for Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel. In the original movie, Pinocchio didn't have a mouth or any eyebrows when Jiminy finds him on the shelf and until Geppetto comes to finish him up. In the original movie, besides Pinocchio being the only living puppet that can talk, the Dutch puppet and Russian puppet are able to talk but their eyes and mouths do not move when they are talking, because as of this remake, they are obviously replaced and Sabina is able to talk too.

But in this remake, he wears different clothes such as a red shirt, brown pants, and a black hat, but he still keeps his blue cape, though he never had a chain on him in the original, but for this remake, he has a chain.
