Pinocchio movie review -- Breakfast All Day 

Nothing beats Pinocchio: A True Story voiced by Pauly Shore

Despite the declining quality of his output in recent years, Robert Zemekis still made two of my favorite movies of all time, Back to the Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and for that I will always be grateful to him

I fear Hanks might be entering his hacky years, relying on disguises and accents. As for Zemeckis, Quinten Tarantino makes a really good argument for stopping at ten films due to directors' output falling off in quality late into their filmographies.

I've ask this before when he released "Welcome to Marwen" and i'll say it again ... What happened to the Greatness of Robert Zemeckis ? 🙄📽🎞

Who knew that 2022 was going to be the year of Pinocchio?

by far the best “live-action” Pinocchio movie is the criminally under-rated PINOCCHIO’S REVENGE. So gooood. 🥳🍿

I see why Disney dumped it on streaming. They learn after lightyear. It wasn't going to be a hit. That movie casting Captain America as Buzz to make extra money. It didn't work.

There was one thing I liked about this version. Figaro was adorable!

Aren’t you forgetting the Russian direct-to-DVD Pinocchio: A True Story that came out earlier this year?

If you want to watch a live action Pinocchio, just watch Spielberg's A.I. Artificial intelligence. It's only his best film and the best film of the 21st century.

I have such a fun memory of seeing Used Cars at the theatre as a kid. One of the best DVD commentaries with Robert Zemeckis and Kurt Russel for that movie too.

the kid who played pinocchio was really great in netflix’s haunting of bly manor and another underrated disney film called flora & ulysses which is honestly one of the stronger comedies disney has put out in sometime

I’ve read that the original idea for Pinocchio, back in the 40s, was to try and make him sort of a smart ass. Walt didn’t like that idea but now why not. Hell, at least it’d be something different

I personally kinda liked it. It wasn’t anything great, and it felt aimed towards very young kids. But I thought it was cute and had some fun with it.

What happened? A CGI feather landed at his feet.

“Curse of the Swine-Beast” is a comedy satire of Ed Wood, William Castle and Roger Corman films. Please review. Thanks.

Honest question: are we going to get another Disney Robin Hood with Foxes??? I hope they don't weaponize that nostalgia that is essential to my childhood

If you like odd movies: “Curse of the Swine-Beast” is a comedy satire of Ed Wood, William Castle and Roger Corman films. Please review. Thanks.

I'm SO worried about the upcoming The Little Mermaid live-action. With exception to The Jungle Book, all the adaptations have been trash.

Pinocchio is my favorite animated Disney film of all time and it's a shame that this one seems to have fumbled and I also find it interesting that we're getting 3 Pinocchio films this year. The first was this one with Pauly Shore voicing the titular character with some weird computer animation.

The man who made Back to the Future, Roger Rabbit, Forrest Gump, Contact and Cast Away got obsessed with his toys since The Polar Express and has been stuck for almost 20 years, somebody help him!!!!

I just want to point out how that whole “lying in order for my nose to extend so that I can reach a key to unlock myself” was taken from Shrek 2.

I agree with Alonso. The whole idea is that Pinocchio has to develop a conscience is swept away by the gimmicky story. This movie plays more as an adventure than a heartwarming story of innocence and kid's fairytale movie. There is no sweetness in this movie. Everything is amplified, like the multiple clocks in Toymaker's house. Though the animation is good the characters are not properly developed. And crucially the set up is very rushed. Hanks looks the most authentic and his appearance as the poor and humble toy maker is the best. But his charcter neither gets the screen time or the importance to contribute to the movie. But the idea of a cricket as his conscience is very poorly handled and that character as well as the rest of animal characters who can talk actually seem to run contrary to film's idea that Pinocchio has to be good to turn into a real boy. The makers forgot that in animation, anything goes as boundaries of logic are loose. But in a live action movie your logic has be better. I mean we have cats talking and Muppets talking then doesn't the whole story, the magic behind a wooden toy coming to life loses its impact instantly. There is whole scene where Pinocchio's nose suddenly starts to grow and that comes out of nowhere. Too much of of exposition at the cost of some sweetness and charm this movie sorely lacks, And the story is just not interesting. Only the pleasure island part seems to be of some interest as there themes of right and wrong are referred to. But the rest of story is just not engaging enough to be leave any impact. This modern retelling of Pinocchio strips the original of its very essence and leaves us with a story whose ambition exceeds its grasp. I give this a 5. One of the big disappointments of the year after Jurassic Park.

How will David Lowery do with Peter Pan & Wendy???

It’s really sad to see Zemeckis and Hanks resort to such lazy filmmaking in the past few years after creating riveting films for the better part of the first 20 years of their respective careers. Makes me wonder what happened to the both of them?

I believe I left a comment on Dan Murrell's channel to the effect "It wasn't that bad." I think that very very very young children will probably enjoy this movie and never drink root beer again. That poor child actor who voiced Pinocchio, he had to be directed to speak that way. Although I like Tom Hanks, his appearance kept taking me out of the movie. His face looked too young, his makeup/wig well let's just say individuals responsible probably will not be receiving Oscars and he moved like a younger person imitating an older person. Why was the time inside the sea creature so short? Why go to the trouble of what looked like an interesting design and keep that scene so short? I could have used less time with kids breaking things on Pleasure Island. The "collection creatures" on Pleasure Island were interesting, I would love to know their backstory. So why did Disney do it? My guess, while the story is public domain, perhaps some of the imagery (Blue Fairy, Pleasure Island and Figaro) had to be used for trademark/copyright issues? Who knows, probably the reason was to sell more merch (think Occam's razor).

Please review Barbarian. I saw that film on Thursday and still can’t get it out of my head.

Pinocchio (1940) is one of the great achievements in cinema history. This movie is horrible.

So when the trailer came out I said Tom Hanks looks like he was in an SNL skit. I'm not watching this--I'll gladly show the kids the original--so what is the final determination? Skit from SNL or made sense cinematically?

Hoping y'all will do a review of Barbarian....hearing lots of good things about it.

are you guys gonna review barbarian?

Besides the two movies we have a soulsbourne pinochio video game coming out next year, what is going on?! That’s the lst genra i’da imagined

Shame. Thought it would be worth a watch based on the trailer but I’m sure Del Toro’s version won’t pull any punches

I love Tom Hanks as much as the next guy but Jesus….. maybe he needs to take a step back. Getting way Overexposed

Why is Tom Hanks doing all kinds of bizarre accents recently?

I got excited for a moment thinking Guillermo Del Toro's version was out.

We need another Who Framed Roger Rabbit esque film. That movie is a game changer

it was made by a great director though were you exited for that

This is a movie I have no interest in. I guess these movies must make money otherwise Disney wouldn't do them, but I can't help thinking "why?"

Pinnochio live action was'nt required. Disney is just pissing us off after repeated failures with live action remakes

Disney has seemed to have run out of ideas.

Man, ya know a movie got bad reviews when I'm not interested in watching it without even having to move an inch out of my big comfy chair at home in order to do so! That's how disinterested I am in this at this point. I have to admit, it started with hearing Tom Hanks do whatever that accent is in the trailer while saying the Star Light, Start Bright poem. Just his delivery in those two lines made me roll my eyes. Come ON, Disney!!!! Hopefully Del Toro will get it better! Although I wish he wasn't even doing it, to be honest.

it's like a weird experiment by disney. making extra content-profit by just replicating their classic movies. If you make someone watch a disney movie why show this instead of the original classics? Plus Pinocchio should indulge in bad habits, it should feel dangerous when he disobeys ... it's a cautionary tale

Watch the original !!

whenever Im watching a Disney movie from the Intro it going to be very Hard to ignore this Garbage in mind Ughh this movie felt very Contrived

I must confess, I hung out with a character designer on this 6 years ago.... and it was ROUGH TO WORK ON. Just grueling he said, a very uninspired mess of micromanagement. He basically said "it was uninspired and needed time off from it." the GDT stop motion one was announced in 2009 having a script by Nick Cave.... so that's nuts to begin with, even though Pinocchio seems to be a production that all film directors just have difficulty with.

The whale in the original is the scariest thing ever

I gave it a 2. It's terrible. For me, I found it to be very lifeless and dull. This is the worst live-action Disney remake ever. It's so bad it destroys the whole purpose of what made the 1940 animated film a classic.

All this wasted money when there is a perfectly fine edition on the same streaming service.

Don't be mean

This movie was terrible 😣👎🏻

I enjoyed the movie. A great escape after a difficult week. Didn’t overthink it… just lost myself 👍🏼👍🏼
