The real reason Zemeckis’ Pinocchio works so well is because it doesn’t forget the emotion and humor.
A brand new remake of the classic Disney animation sanitizes the aging cartoon's more dubious elements, but still manages to be bizarre as all get out -- and in fact, this awkward mash-mash of digital effects and live action adds new levels of weird.

One thing that’s true about this? Tom Hanks is hilariously unhinged. I couldn’t imagine spending money to go see this fever dream, but that’s what Disney+ and the fast forward button are for.
But who submits “reviews” and real scores indicative of a movie/show/cereal’s quality anymore? That’s not what people do! They come crawling to MetaCritic and social media to cry their triggered eyes out because a black woman came onto their screens for a few moments. There is nothing on this Earth more whiny and cringy than triggered white trash. I mean, holy crap, the amount of bawling and tantrums over a 90 second scene with a magical blue fairy, these cretins should be ashamed. But, alas, they have no souls. This movie ****, but this society and life on this planet in 2022 **** more.

Emotional Soulful Movie. with original Pinnochio’s similar innocence. Interesting take on the scene of Pleasure Island. Lovely CGI. Similar to the Original which is Nice. Does not deserve anything extremely negative said about it. Would have been nice to have seen more of the real boy Pinnochio turned into at the end and more magic and more of The Blue fairy. Other than that enjoyed the film alot.

The remake is poky and overstuffed. It’s also 17 minutes longer than the 1940 original. Granted, eight minutes of that is closing credits, but still. Pinocchio’s nose isn’t all that’s wooden and too long here.
Far be it from us to actively reveal what scuttles Zemeckis’ film, but let’s just say that it seems like the people who made its biggest creative choices have more wood for brains than the character they brought to life.
Trying to recapture the magic of the 1940 animated classic, Robert Zemeckis’ live-action Pinocchio is a wooden, laboured affair.
Despite all the fairies and waving of wands, there’s just not much magic here.
By studiously spelling out each emotion, Zemeckis and Weitz remove any potential for enigmatic complexity. And while the computer technology bringing Pinocchio to life is nowhere near as creepy as anything in Zemeckis’ Polar Express, that’s mitigated by how obviously fake he is anytime there’s a shot with a human actor “touching” or “holding” the little wooden boy.
When 3 Pinocchio movies come out in a 12 month span & yours is the worst, you know you've messed up. At least the one voiced by Poly Shore was entertainingly bad & unintentionally funny. Being bad is way better than being mediocre. Btw, they used a male seagull & gave it a female voice. I'm assuming they were going to make it a trans character, but nothing came of it. Could it be that they thought audiences were too stupid to know that female gulls are brown & white spotted?

It’s charmless, hollow, empty… wooden. It’s a wooden lifeless facsimile of the much better 1940s version. Shock of all shocks, a Disney remake of a beloved classic is not able to measure up to the original, truly a surprising development to absolutely no one.
