Bucky R 03/09/2024 Pinocchio, hypnotism, space whales, what else do you want? See more 08/12/2012 Like the earlier reviewer, Pinocchio in Space was as early and positive science fiction experience for me. In 1964 the New York World's Fair was just beginning with all its future exhibits, the space race was heating up and I was watching Astroboy. It was a great time my imagination was ignited. This film helped do that more. The theme of a destroyed but great culture undone by its technology gave me the willies. Giant creatures jumping out at me was a new experience. Back then I had not seen Forbidden Planet but seeing it now the walk through towering Martian technology is strongly reminiscent of the still functioning Krell laboratory of the 1955 classic. Even some of the sound effects are similar. I also find it fun that the film makers tried also to be educational by adding various space facts while admonishing children to apply themselves to school. In short it was a lot of fun, especially Arnold Stang as "Nurtle the Turtle" an alternative to Jiminy Cricket. I can not say all the shows I have heard his voice in. Of course the film also improbably mixes in fantasy and magic, including a whale who can propel himself through space with his spout. But for me it worked. Probably a bit dated for older kids today but the young and the young in heart will still enjoy this animated morality tale. See more 09/07/2008 This is a movie where giant martian crabs battle dinosaurs. Unfortunately this is only a minute of the moive. The rest is about Pinocchio running around space and exploding stuff. It would be awesome if it wasn't incredibly boring. See more 05/24/2008 Without a doubt the worst animated film of all time. The plot is absolutely assinine! See more 09/20/2007 This movie is about Pinocchio learning hypnotism to defeat a space-whale and save the planet. It was one of my favorite movies as a child, which may indicate something about my state of mental health. See more 08/09/2007 Somehow I had a copy of this as a kid. It's very surreal and bizarre. Kind of fascinating but in an unplesant way. See more Read all reviews
