The folks behind Los Angeles’ Animation Is Film Festival have announced two major films slated to appear at the festival.

Announced today, Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio will close out the festival on Saturday, October 29 at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater. Director Guillermo del Toro will be on hand to introduce the film and join a Q&A session. The stop-motion film offers a unique take on the Carlo Collodi story with a voice cast featuring Ewan McGregor as Cricket, David Bradley as Geppetto, and Gregory Mann as Pinocchio.

Festival founder Eric Beckman said this about the forthcoming screening:

“In both spirit and action, Guillermo del Toro exemplifies the Animation Is Film mission -- a filmmaker of the highest order embracing animation as a cinematic artform of the highest order. Bringing Pinocchio to life has been the filmmaker’s passion and labor for over 20 years. We are honored and humbled beyond words that he has chosen to unveil it to US audiences at Animation Is Film. Thank you Guillermo!!!!”

The English dub of the forthcoming anime film One Piece Film Red will also be shown at the TCL Chinese 6 Theatres on Saturday, October 22, which is days before its official North American theatrical release on November 4. Tickets for One Piece Film Red screenings across the country are on sale here.

A synopsis for One Piece Film Red reads:

Uta—the most beloved singer in the world whose voice has been described as "otherworldly"—is renowned for concealing her own identity when performing. Now, for the first time ever, she will reveal herself to the world at a live concert. With the Navy watching closely, the venue fills with Uta's fans—including excited pirates and the Straw Hats led by Luffy, who simply came to enjoy her sonorous performance—all eagerly awaiting the voice that the whole world has been waiting for to resound. The story begins with the shocking revelation that she is the enigmatic Shanks' daughter.
