Critics Consensus

Visually dazzling but soulless, the largely inert Pinocchio reaffirms that you should always let your conscience be your guide… away from unnecessary remakes.

Audience Says

Just watch Disney's original Pinocchio instead.

Just as Pinocchio wasn’t a real boy to start, this wasn’t a real movie – and there’s almost no chance it learnt enough lessons to become one with a soul.

The pacing is hopelessly unwieldly, with unnecessary deviations from the original film, added characters who don’t really have purpose and do not propel the plot, and new songs that are not up to Disney standards.

Robert Zemeckis’ live-action film has gorgeous, seamless animation and revels in its seductive timelessness.

Pinocchio boasts a more thematically impactful ending than the original but fails to deliver a new version of the famous childhood tale with the same magic and allure of the past.

Esse filme é totalmente sem graça, Não tem grandes mudanças, Mas uma coisa que mudou e incomodou muito á mim, Foi que o filme passa pano para tudo que o Pinóquio faz, Em resumo esse filme é muito pequeno comparado ao original, Apesar de ter poucas mudanças, É um filme totalmente sem sal.

Aunque la película fue una crítica por su CGI, y por ser una película con mucha inteligencia artificial, la película es buena y deja enseñanza, por mi parte el CGI Pudo haberse vuelto un poco mejor y colocar personajes reales pero está bien la película para ver en familia.

This trainwreck needs to be seen to be believed. Why is the fish so sexy? Why is Tom Hanks singing? Why is there so much fecal play? Why didn't they hire real puppeteers for the puppeteer sequences? Why is even the horse in the background cg? Why did they insert new songs and why only shitty ones? Why is the inanimate puppet able to move her eyes? Why is the pacing so bad? Why are the (root) beers cg, including the foam? Did they not have beer glasses on set? Did they run out of money?
