Jesus T @Jesus760 Mar 22, 2025 Whoever rated this low is tripping, this was a heartfelt, emotional movie, gets you in the feels. I love this timeless classic just like I love the cartoon timeless classic. See more Derek L @RT51637195 Aug 13, 2024 Whilst the Adventures of Pinocchio stayed faithful to the source material, however it does have moments where it can get rather creepy in terms of its tone and direction. See more Memphis A @RT91623488 Apr 13, 2023 Definitely better than Disney live action version. The effects are very good especially Pinocchio himself. Pepe voice Lipe seeking at that bad I couldn't even notice it was wrong. The movie fixs up many things wrong with other apadtions. Definitely a must see.

See more jacob b @RT89309114 Sep 29, 2022 A better Hollywood live-action adaptation of Pinocchio than the more recent one that came out, The Adventures of Pinocchio scores points for being truer to the text and Jim Henson's Creature Shop do a good job bringing the titular character to life whilst also having a reasonably threatening villain and even some decent songs but the weird casting choices, inevitable comparisons to the Disney classic (it still features things like the cricket conscience who was only an ascended extra when Disney adapted the film), poor CGI even for 1996 an unnecessary film-exclusive subplot about Geppetto's crush on a woman who married his brother and, in all honesty, being a bit dull for older audiences. Perhaps this movie would've been better if they committed more fully to a darker tone (this was from the director of the 1990 Ninja Turtles movie, after all - which, amusingly, has its own Pleasure Island sequence - meaning that he could've made a live-action Pinocchio film with such a tone work) but as is, it's a movie that, while nowhere near the dumpster fire critics made it out to be, I'm not losing a lot of sleep over its commercial failure either (though having a trailer that spoils the ending REALLY didn't help; I don't care if everybody knows how the story ends, that was still a dick move). Less wooden than Robert Zemeckis' version, that's for sure. See more Jul 1, 2022 I'm sorry. I find it hard to believe that the other reviewers didn't find this exceptional movie a wonderful masterpiece. I watched this movie when I was just a kid, and recently had to show it to my friend. Yes, it might be creepy to others considering how realistic it looks, but trust me, you'll get what you're looking for in a movie. I totally would recommend for people to watch.
