This is just the first release for the day, because Disney+ will announce more Disney+ Day premieres from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic in the coming months.

As for the movie, as mentioned above Tom Hanks takes on the role of Geppetto, the wood carver who builds and treats Pinocchio, voiced by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as if he were his own son.
