At this point the live action remakes are becoming just as common as the direct to video sequels from 1994 to 2008

Actually if you pay real close attention to the end, where Geppetto and Pinocchio are walking away, you can see Pinocchio become real. I’d argue though this is even worse than not showing it at all, because it meant they thought it was important enough to include, but not important enough to dedicate a scene to.

Also the Italian dub didn’t only give Sabina and Fabiana the same voice-actress, which erases a stupid plot hole the movie didn’t need to create, but it also replaced the Chris Pine reference with a standard pun about wood and erased the influencer line. Also, no “root beer” ~ just plain ol’ beer. We tried folks.

When you wish upon a star, you get too many bad Pinocchio movies in the same year. Let’s just wish that Guillermo Del Toro‘s Pinocchio turns out amazing, and hope our wish comes true.

It says a lot about a movie when Disney has to pull the "Let's see how many IPs we can fit in one scene so we grab their attention!" card like they did with Ralph Breaks the Internet...send this movie to the shadow realm, and nothing of value would be lost

The main problem with this, as with other live action remakes, is Pinocchio is perfect. It’s frustrating here because in the original film, Pinocchio was flawed. He didn’t always listen to Jiminy Cricket, he joined the puppet show at his own accord, he did misbehave at Pleasure Island and drank alcohol. But he eventually learns from the experience and is still rewarded by turning into a real boy. Here, Pinocchio is blameless for every situation. He legitimately wanted to go to school but he got kicked out. So he might as well join Stromboli’s show. Pinocchio‘s nose grow when he said he wanted to go to school. He actually did want to go so I don’t get how that’s a lie. Pinocchio gets kidnapped to go to Pleasure Island and he had no way of turning back. And while there, he doesn’t misbehave, or be a “jackass”. He didn’t even drink the root beer, which isn’t alcoholic. So why does he fall under the curse and turn into a donkey? Stuff like this annoys me cause it promotes misleading morals to its intended audience, and I’m still soft on this remake cause it’s straight to streaming

My husband said the exact same thing about Jiminy's voice sounding like an imitation of an imitation. It got grating really quick. In fact, Jiminy as a whole was an annoying character to me, especially his whole "temporary conscience" shtick. While Jiminy got irritated with Pinocchio in the original, it was only because he felt ignored and just wanted to help him. He was like a father figure to him. In the remake, it just seems like Jiminy was forced into being his conscience and just tolerated being around Pinocchio. They didn't have any kind of bond, and it was hard for me to get behind them being friends. I rewatched the original after the remake, and I was reminded of just how charming and wholesome the animated version is. It's never been one of my favorites, but I have so much respect for it.

I love how you used the Soul variant of the Disney opening theme to describe the remake. And yeah, I did not have a good time with this one either. I just wish these “live-action” remakes would end.

So Pinnochio not only has Dash's abilities to kick really fast, but he has Rapunzel's magic healing/life saving tearsdrops...

too safe, too bland, using his nose to get the key to the cage gives "lying your way out" a whole new meaning.

The fact you included the Disney theme from Soul in it was a nice touch. Although “You did that all in one day?” And “Haven’t done a fraction of that in my whole life” were pretty good lines.

I’ll honor the old Disney that it was once before, making really good 2D and 3D animated feature films with amazing animation, great stories, likable characters, beautiful soundtracks and interesting themes. Not this monster that Disney has become now, hungry for more money and power, making horrible live-action remakes and ruining IPs like Star Wars and Marvel (Post-Endgame).

*If I had a nickel, for every time a Zemeckis Disney movie was a failure, I'd have two nickels! Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice* "Father, when can I leave to be on my OWN? I've got the whole world to see! 💅"....I'd take that over Disney's remake any day. That line alone makes the rest of that cursed movie a masterpiece.

I knew this was gonna suck after seeing Mulan. I won't be surprised if Little Mermaid sucks too. It's like Disney wants to die!

It always amazes me how many chances directors get, after so many swings and a miss. "Hmm, well you're last ten movies weren't very good, and we mocked you directly in our last movie, so here's one of our most beloved classics and 100million dollars. Good luck!"

"Turning a disney classic into a disaster" literally almost ever single disney live action remake ever

I hope that the Guillermo Del Toro version is a big award winner and gets a lot of positive reviews. It would be the best middle finger to this remake!

Pinocchio being an Italian story, here in Italy we make one of these pretty much every three years. I recommend Luigi Comencini’s mini-series with Gina Lollobrigida as the Blue Fairy, the animated adaptations by Giuliano Cenci and Enzo d’Alò, and of course Matteo Garrone’s 2019 re-imagining with Roberto Benigni as Geppetto and the late Gigi Proietti as Mangiafuoco. You may even try to find a recording of the musical - which btw also has an extra female character, a woman named Angela who’s part of Geppetto’s entourage of woodcarvers and acts as a love interest and confidante to him.

Is it kinda weird how Animat and Schaffrillas made their remake Pinocchio movie reviews nearly the exact same time?

Probably Robert Zemeckis' worst things to produce under the Disney brand since "Mars Needs Moms"?

That out of tune jazz opening is hilarious and perfectly describes my thoughts on the live action remakes these days.

No one ever mentions that the female puppet has ability to change her facial expressions ,eyebrows , blink and move that no way a puppeteer could do in real life

You know, I remember having a dream where you gave the Pinocchio remake a positive review and called it "the best Disney live-action remake since The Jungle Book". Such a pity it didn't come true after all, because it gave me hope for the remake. Maybe it was for the original version that was going to be directed by the director of the Paddington films before he left and Robert Zemeckis took over.

The s**t that Pinnochio sniffs on the ground perfectly sums up this remake!

When you wish upon a star....Don't wish for another remake -_-

When I was a kid, Jimminy Cricket used to scare me. It wasn't really anything against him, I just had a bad experience with my exposure to the character. I had grown to appreciate his animated appearance over time. But now seeing his CGI self, it's bringing back those fearful feelings

Disney: This remake of Pinocchio will be good! (Nose grows)

Here’s the rotten tomatoes score Pinocchio 1940: 100% Pinocchio 2022: 27%

6:47 Actually this cliche is from the original book: In the story Gepetto faints when he and Pinocchio escape from the Terrible Dogfish (the whale), causing Pinocchio to spend a long time taking care of his father. It's this action that causes him to become real boy in the end. If the movie had gone through this direction it could had been better adaptation (it wouldn't fix all the problem, but some).

Though I will say Figaro looks as adorable here as he does in the original!

Disney didnt make a movie, they made a product. Del Toro didnt make a movie, he made Art.

Unpopular opinion, but I prefer the Direct to Video Disney sequels from the early 2000's over those remakes. Love them or hate them, at least they offered something more or less new.

At least Netflix and Guillermo Del Toro are coming to our rescue with the Pinocchio movie everyone’s truly waiting for.

Thank you for acknowledging the work of Ward Kimball. He was the soul of so many great animated characters. And yes, Zemeckis has been in the uncanny Valley too long but like Polar Express this film really doesn't want to take its source material seriously. It's as if it has to be a roller coaster ride in order to keep kids attention. I know Polar Exp wasn't a lengthy story but it's a serious tale about kid trying not to lose faith and it instead dabbles in silly songs, and borderline horror film scenes and I get that vibe here with Monstro-Cthulhu as if he's some final boss. Regardless, great review

You make many valid points about how Zemeckis has changed since his heyday of filmmaking. not only do I agree with every point you’ve said about it, but it’s quite clear that ever since he got his hands on motion capture and photorealistic CGI technology, he changed to having a spectacle-over-story mentality when it comes to his filmmaking style. Not only am I going to add onto what you just said here, but I’m also going to add a little bit of my own piece to it on how Zemeckis went from legendary Director to another victim of the Cameron effect. So prepare yourselves, because I have a lot to get off my chest that I’ve been meaning to get off for a while. First, before anyone asks, The Cameron effect is a de evolution in a filmmaker‘s style when they begin to develop a spectacle-over-story mentality, putting too much faith in CGI technology to be the sole bearer of the film, with many of their current films reflecting that. The term originates from James Cameron, another big filmmaker who is well known for making movies that have a strong spectacle-over-story priority to them. The most prominent example being “Avatar“, A film that has revolutionary 3D visuals and an immersive world, but little to no originality crafted into the story. As far as I’m concerned, this term does not exist, I just coined it for the sake of this discussion. To demonstrate how the Cameron effect has taken its toll on Zemeckis, we must first discuss a bit of compare and contrast between two films of his. First contender, “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”. Although the film’s story and visual spectacle are equally just as amazing, there was almost an instance that could’ve ruined the story, and that is the deleted pig head scene. As someone who has watched the scene for myself, I fully understand and agree with Zemeckis’ choice to cut the scene from the movie. Although the visuals of the scene were amazing with what they managed to do with the effects and animation, there are three reasons as to why cutting it was for the best. 1. It feels completely out of place and it doesn’t move the story forward. As a matter of fact, it stops the story dead in its tracks, and is never even brought up again. 2. Throughout the film, there’s always buildup to Toontown, this scene would’ve given away how you get to Toontown too early. 3. Another recurring aspect during the movie is Jessica Rabbit and who her allegiance lies with. This scene would’ve opened a plot hole in terms of her characterization. To explain, all throughout the movie, Jessica, as well as her motives, actions, and loyalty are mysterious and questionable, but her outcomes turn out to be unexpected and surprising to both the audience and the characters. True, it’s eventually revealed that she is on Roger and Eddie’s side and the film does want to keep building up her mysterious background until that point, but in this scene, she doesn’t do anything to defend Eddie’s actions from Judge Doom or the weasels and just watches as the weasels prepare to take poor Eddie to Toontown against his will. Although this could be taken as the film continuing to keep her uncertain allegiance vibe going, the plot hole begins when it’s later revealed she is on our heroes’ side. Think about it, had they kept the scene in, and once Jessica reveals her true colors and that she really is one of the good guys, it brings this scene into question and makes the audience wonder, “if that’s the case, why didn’t Jessica defend Eddie from Judge Doom and his weasels?” Which is where the plot hole comes in. This is a perfect example of how Zemeckis was thinking of what was right for the story and not for the spectacle. This brings us to our second contender, “The Polar Express”. This is around the time that the Cameron effect had begun to change Zemeckis. Due to CGI and motion capture being the latest technological innovation in the entertainment industry, Zemeckis had begun to prioritize The visual spectacle of the film rather than the story itself. Examples of this include padding out the story by using scenes that are stunningly visual spectacles, but are overall unnecessary; including, the ticket journey scene, the ice lake, The musical numbers, The “roller coaster” scenes, just to name a few. it is also possible that this is due to not being able to stretch out a children’s book into a full length feature film, but after thinking about what I just mentioned, it’s hard to ignore that as another possibility. To be fair though, “The Polar Express“ was made during the beginning of Zemeckis’ Cameron effect, and there is one sign that his sense of storytelling wasn’t completely killed, (at least in the case of this film). Despite all the unnecessary padding scenes, one addition to the film that I believe moves the story forward is the character of the Hobo. During the film, hero boy wants to still believe in Christmas magic and Santa Claus, but does have a seed of uncertainty toward these beliefs. The conductor and the hobo both act as guides to the boy who nurture both respective sides. While the conductor nurtures the boy’s belief in the spirit of Christmas, The hobo, in contrast, nurtures the boy’s doubts toward it. Admittedly this aspect Would’ve had more of an effect if The film had more scenes with the boy interacting with either the conductor or the hobo, and a lot less padding scenes that prioritize spectacle. Unfortunately, after “The Polar Express”, The Cameron effect would only get worse for Zemeckis, which was further proven with “Beowulf”, The 2009 “A Christmas Carol“, and especially “Mars Needs Moms”, since the latter became one of the biggest box office bombs in animation history; to the point that Zemeckis’ entire studio that made these films, ImageMovers Digital, was closed down for good and all their future projects canceled. Sadly, despite the studio’s closure, Zemeckis still didn’t get the message, and by this point he had become practically incurable of the Cameron affect, proven by the films he just mentioned like “Welcome to Marwen”, “ The Witches” and the 2022 Live-action remake of Disney’s “Pinocchio“. One other thing that Zemeckis seems to be blind to in terms of his CGI visuals is how it always falls into the uncanny valley, and yet, he never listens to nor acknowledges the criticisms as to how creepy and unsettling it can look. He doesn’t understand that, in terms of visuals, realism and detail is not the same as believability and artistry. After “The Polar Express” received criticisms for how unsettling and creepy the characters looked, this style wasn’t changed in Zemeckis‘s following films like “A Christmas Carol” and “Mars Needs Moms”, and it continues with this film as well. As he mentioned, it’s already creepy enough that characters like Honest John, Gideon, and Jiminy Cricket, fall into uncanny valley territory, but to see these characters move in an exaggerated and cartoonish fashion makes it all the more unsettling and disturbing. Another criticism on the visuals of this movie that I agree with is the interaction with the CGI characters. because Tom Hanks didn’t really have anyone to interact with, The physical interaction feels a bit off, especially when seeing how bad the tracking on the CGI characters in post production looks. Seriously, as a college student who is learning to use those same visual effects tools myself, it makes me question how the interaction can be so off like that. Another thing that shocks me is that “Who Framed Roger Rabbit“ did not have the luxury of using the technological tools that most filmmakers take for granted today, like what was mentioned for this film, And yet, the interaction with the animated characters in that film feels 100% spot on! They successfully managed to sell you The believability of the toons’ existence through The interaction with the live actors (both physical and mental), Lighting and shading, interaction with real physical objects, and believable weight and space that they occupy. Here though, despite having all the technological tools and special effects at their disposal, they weren’t able to make the interaction feel quite right. That, in addition to the fact that both films share the same Director boggles my mind. In conclusion, I think we can agree that despite being the legendary Director behind “Forrest Gump“, the “Back to the Future“ trilogy, and “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”, Zemeckis had fallen victim to the Cameron effect ever since he started delving into CGI and motion capture, And it would continually get worse with no signs of stopping, with this film being another example to prove that statement correct. if Zemeckis ever wants to save himself from the Cameron effect and reclaim his greatness, he should seriously rethink his outlook towards CGI and motion capture, then take Elsa’s advice, and let it go.

This is why Disney needs to stop remaking films that don't need a remake. Look what they did with Lion King and Beauty And The Beast. Remake a film that does need a remake like Black Cauldron and Sword in The Stone.

I feel like Disney won't be satisfied until they warp, twist and squeeze EVERY nostalgic dollar out of their animated film classics. .🤑💰

Bad enough that the director of one of the greatest trilogies ever has been reduced to this, but it’s even worse knowing this is from the same company who’s biggest film went out of its way to needlessly trash said trilogy😒

That Chris Pine joke is one of the worst jokes I've ever heard. Like, you can hear Keegan Michael Key's soul leave his body as he's saying that line.

Monstro in the original: Whale Monstro in this remake: “We’ve got a freaking Kaiju up in this shit!”

At least one good thing about this film is that Geppetto‘s clocks remind you of some much better options on Disney+. That way you can turn this trash off and go watch those better movies, including Zemeckis’ own “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”.

I think the worst thing about the Pinocchio remake is that it's so clearly, nakedly something they made in case the copyright expired. That's it. Other than Pleasure Island making my eyes hurt with the bright yellows. No, wait: this was a joke I made back when Dumbo came out! "They're remaking Dumbo? What's next, Pinocchio?"

I like that you included the theatrical trailer of the summer 1992 re-release of Pinocchio at the beginning of this review.

After watching three negative reviews on this movie, which are Raisor blade, Schaffrillas, and this one, I decided to not watch this remake.

Disney seems to have that special talent to make any respectable director look bad with their remakes. They did it to Tim Burton, they did it to Jon Favreau and now they seemed to have done it to Robert Zemeckis (then again, like Mat said, Robert already lost his touch decades ago). Also, at 6:37-7:13, 16:14-16:25 and 17:19-17:33... WTF?!...

The only good Pinocchio movie to look out for is the Netflix version

🦊🎵🎶”Hi-diddle-dee-dee! This remake sucks, to me! A plethora of C-G-I! A woke agenda, that just won’t die! Hi-diddle-dee-dum! The writing is humdrum! They can’t stay true to morals goal! The mediocrity takes its toll!”

At 7:02 we see pinocchio starting to transform into an a real boy with cgi but still doesn't have the same strength as the original ending. And , I can't believe that I am saying this but mostro's design looks ok for me. I saw pictures of how a dogfish looks like and I get the idea of combining a whale and a dogfish which it could work if only they didn't add the tentacles

I really hope this doesn’t foreshadow the possible doom of the 2024 remake of Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs, even if you DO look past it’s controversial choices.

I’ve gotta admit, I actually like the way John looks. Yeah, he looks uncanny and creepy and like he doesn’t belong in his surroundings, but he’s a trickster and corrupting influence; looking creepy makes sense for him. The CG characters, though… yeah. A cartoon cricket that actually looks like a cricket *can* work - my first thought is of Mr. Grasshopper from the James and the Giant Peach movie - but you’ve got to have a clear aesthetic vision there, and I’m okay with Monstro turning out to be an actual sea monster and not a whale, but the tentacles leave him so overdesigned. And the less said about Cleo, the better.

This movie only makes me even more excited for Del Toro's movie

Honest John was really the best part of the movie, and it sucks that he isn't in more of it

Me: “why is pinnocios face creeping the shit out of me”. Find out the cgi was done by the same guy who did polar express. “Ahhh that checks out”

The Netflix stop-motion reinterpretation of Pinocchio featuring a WW2 setting is better than the Disney live-action remake of Pinocchio.

I feel the only benefit this movie gave to anyone watching is specifically the scene where Pinocchio sniffs the horse crap. It sums up not just this movie, but almost the ENTIRETY of modern Disney as well.

I don’t know if anyone else ever done this is, but I’ll tell you right now I’m gonna make a prediction of their next Disney live action remake, if you thought Animat is mad about some of the Disney remake movies he previously reviewed then I can sure to you that he will *not* enjoy the one I’m predicting. So here is my prediction for the next Disney live action remake movie: Years from now, Disney will do a remake of the hunchback of notre dame, and like most of their previous movies they’ll copy and paste and scene by scene of the animated version. They will either add one new song or a new character for this remake, they will cast famous celebrities, they’ll botched it up of not understanding and what makes the animated movie great and has a good mix of light and dark in 1996 version and finally they’ll add cgi on the gargoyles and Esmeralda’s pet goat Djali. And to add cherry on top they will remove some certain scenes that was in the animated movie like Frollo sniffing Esmeralda’s hair, him singing the most famous and popular song “Hellfire” (or keep it but just make it lame for the remake) and remove some good stuff that was in the animated version. And that was my prediction of their next live action remake movie. And I will tell you right now, if they ever do remake one of Animat’s favorite movie. I can definitely guarantee that he will go ballistic on that remake and tear it to shreds.

I had a feeling this wasn’t going to be good, even though I really like several of Robert Zemeckis’ movies from Romancing The Stone, Back To The Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Forrest Gump, and Cast Away. I also always really liked Polar Express, even though it’s divisive with people

Moral of this story - But remember, a remake that won't be good might just as well be made of wood. LOL 😅😂🤣

The only Disney remake I've liked so far was jungle book, the rest of which were either meh to really bad. The problem is that Modern Disney doesn't understand what made the classic movies so magical. But to them it seems to be CGI combo with modern trends.

Pinocchio finding a pile of sh*t is a perfect symbolism of what this trainwreck of a movie is: a pile of sh*t. Also what have they done to my boi Monstro? XD

There's a saying: "Don't try to fix what's already perfect!" Why are they keep making these remakes if almost 80% of them are complete failures? Why aren't they using some good actors that already voiced those characters? Look at the Kingdom Hearts franchise - they had the heart to bring the original voice actors to play these characters again and they do a perfect job, unlike here. I felt a rushed story with so much to show and so little time in these environments. Also, WHY MONSTRO NEEDS TO BE A SEA MONSTER WITH TENTACLES (making it look like the dumb cousin of Final Fantasy's Eidolon Leviathan), WHEN IN THE ORIGINAL IT WAS A GIANT WHALE, A WHALE OF A WHALE? The ending felt super rushed when in the original we had a heartbreaker moment, after a scary chase against a giant and angry whale? When I watched the original movie for the first time, I was 5-6 years old, and that finale made me felt a lot of emotions from hope to scare to dread to sadness to hapiness, while here the only thing I felt was disappointment.

Pinocchio 2022 just makes us want to watch GDT Pinocchio and the 40's original. I watch the film a lot as a child and this hurts.

0:31 The instruments sound like they're slowly dying XD

LOL, using the Soul version of When You Wish Upon a Star for the montage🤣🤣

The thing that makes me so incredibly sad is what a genuinely special man WALT DISNEY was. And yet this burnt out husk of a company shames his name. He put so much love, blood, sweat and tears into everything he did only to have the soulless profiteers like Eisner come in and for decades now just destroy his legacy

This is why the classics are always better… Give Pinocchio a big break… However, I’m still checking out Del Torro’s version! Looks grim and interesting!

Yes, quite the way to ruin such an important and timeless movie. The original Pinocchio was the first animated film to win an Academy Award in a competitive category: Best Original Song and Best Original Score. No other Disney feature did that again until Mary Poppins and no animated Disney feature did it again until The Little Mermaid. In the end , I'd bet money people will be going right back to the original Pinocchio.

The original Pinocchio: "When you wish upon a star" The 2022 remake: "When you wish upon a steaming piece of shit"

I didn't even see this, but one gripe I really have with this is the fact that even though Disney cares so much about representation to the point of being woke about it, there is literally only like one or two Italians in the cast of this movie, which is an adaptation of an Italian story. The original animated movie wasn't any better when it comes to the lack of Italians in the movie, but because of what I said earlier, I'm mad at the remake for this. The most prominent Italian in the cast plays an antagonist too (you don't have to read into it, but I'm just saying). Maybe I have this problem because I'm mostly Italian-American, I don't know.

I knew this was gonna be pretty bad and like most of Disney's Live-action remakes was gonna be overshadowed by its superior original (though I have a soft spot for a few), let's hope the next adaptation of this story is better, though considering it's a stop motion film directed by Guillermo Del Toro that's already making it the best of the 3 Pinocchio adaptations

I'm just imagining what it would be like if Disney actually gave Gideon a voice and had him be voiced by Mark Hamill in his Joker voice. It just makes me smile thinking that the dopey cat would act and talk like the infamous Clown Prince of Crime! 😸

I mean you threw shade at Beauty & the Beast and Maleficent but at least the set designers for Beauty & the Beast seemed to have a fair amount of earnest fun designing the castle based around Rococo architecture, and the writers for Maleficent got to write scenes from a new angle instead of only adapting existing scenes for live action. They might not have been great or anything but like… at least _some_ people seemed to be having fun during the production. I’m not sure I can say the same here.

❤️💖 Personality, as much as I do respect Robert Zemeckis as a filmaking director and I do loved the films he directed like Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and the Polar Express, he wasn't the perfect right choice to direct this film. They could've picked someone else. I prefer him directing a Who Framed Roger Rabbit sequel than a Pinocchio remake. Paul King should've directed this film better. He was the perfect choice to direct this film since he does a better job directing and writing the Paddington movies. Maybe Paul King could have mixed both elements between the original book and the original 1940 animated film just like how Jon Favreau did when he mixed both elements of the original book and the 1967 animated film into the 2016 live action remake of the Jungle Book.

17:30 That ain't Monstro! That's Leviathan! Disney, why would you do this?!

Pinocchio is also the victim in every situation in the remake, he never learns any lesson and learns that lying is ok in certain situations… and them changing the beer and cigars defeats the whole purpose of the scene!! Its not like it promoted that stuff in the original, they painted it in a bad light so kids wont try that stuff, in the remake its like teaching kids they cant have nice things like rootbeer and candy which are common things some kids enjoy. And also jimminy cricket looks straight out of a horror movie

Ladies and Gentlemen, The same director who gave us Back to the Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Ohhh how the mighty have fallen.

6:38 did anyone notice how unfinished Pinocchio looked as he got closer to the camera?

I grew up watching the original Pinocchio. I loved it so much! The remake is just insulting

Gepetto should’ve said “you are a toy!”

And we thought that the 90’s Disney’s sequels were bad. This “remake era” is just insulting to the art of storytelling, animation and good taste in general. The most sad part is, however, that these movies are making an insane amount of money… How in hell is so many people so incredibly dumb?

I actually forgot about this remake at first cause it came out on the same day of the Queen's death, and obviously everyone focused on that instead LMAOOO

Watching the 1940 film(which I still love) the day before, I walked into the 2022 film with an open mind, expecting things to be expanded with the story, the characters, etc. While there were some good things I liked such as the quality of animation on Figaro, Honest John, and Gideon, the latter was a misfire. I get what this Disney film adaptation was trying to do, but it unfortunately didn’t stick the landing, especially with the ending.

What modern Disney SHOULD DO more often - Make high quality original content like Encanto. What modern Disney SHOULD NOT DO more often - Make bland and soulless live-action remakes like Pinocchio (2022). When will you ever learn, Disney?

0:31 - 0:58 This perfectly sums up this and (most of) the Disney live-action remakes in general.

The fact Pinocchio is looking at horse shit is a metaphor for the movie

To be honest, I knew this remake was in trouble when I heard Zemeckis was involved. …’Cause his last Disney movie (Mars Needs Moms) was such a hit.

Rafiki:-"it is time". Tron:-"the uprising has begun"!

"Who's telling the story? Me or you?" Pepa from Encanto would like to have a word with you.

To be honest, I had zero faith in this remake and this is exactly why.

The wall of clocks are not only a reminder of the time you're wasting watching these things but all the other movies being prepared to get tossed in the Live Action CGI Remake woodchipper

Disney should stop making live action remakes and just make an 2D animated movie already. Like, it's been awhile.

Honestly, the 1996 live action remake of Pinocchio starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas is worth watching more than this

At this point, Pixar is the only one carrying Disney’s career, and even THEY’RE doing a terrible job at it, at least this year. A lot of people hated Turning Red, and Lightyear completely BOMBED in the box office.

I think the adventures of Pinocchio from 1996 did a great live action job

I will say this about Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s performance as Jiminy Cricket, as least he does an impression of Cliff Edwards’ Jiminy than just sounding like himself like a lot of celebrities who don’t have voiceover experience do in animated movies.

Pinnochio: *A timeless classic* Pinnochio remake: *A timeless disasterpiece*

“Father, when can I leave to be on ma OWWWWNNNN!!!???” 😂😂

Hearing the word DIE from one of the CDi Zelda Games really cracked me up! LoL 😂

I'm so sure that despite Zemeckis being up there with Spielberg, Nolan, etc.,(and being a good writer himself) Disney had the total control and final say in the story, effing it up obviously.

That Grade School Concert Band version of When You Wish Upon A Star is glorious.
