It's almost as if the character artists just slapped whatever wood texture they could find onto him and called it a day. For example, despite Pinocchio's character model coming off as decent, the same could not be said with how he was textured all he really has to show that he's a puppet is a light wood texture on his skin.The animation looks a little bit outdated for 2021 standards and looks more like an Nickelodeon TV show from the early 2010s due to the rendering quality, some issues with the texturing, and how the characters move sometimes.Same goes for probably the most infamous line in the film, "Father, tell me, when can I leave to be on my own? I've got the whole world to see!", sounding more like "Father, tell me, when can I leave to be on my own? I've got the whole worldussy!".For example, the line "Mama mia! A wooden boy!" sounds more like "Mama mia! It wouldn't be!" There are also instances where some of the dialogue, thanks to the abysmal execution, sounds like the character is saying something else.Unbelievably stupid and laughable dialogue, like Pinocchio saying "Let's go Tybalt, great adventures AWAIT! Ske-de, ske-de, ske-de, ske-de!".Even other bad films only used it once or twice, but here, it's done about four times. In fact, there are many, many instances of the breakup trope, to the point where it gets tiresome really fast.That is, except during the big plot twist at the end where it's revealed that Bella's his daughter all along, which comes out of nowhere and just gives them a reason to, well, exist. Brionne and his goons serve no purpose throughout the story, and only exist to pad out the runtime and are, at best, a nuisance for Pinocchio and Tybalt.Also, Bella tells Pinocchio that she doesn't even like him without explaining what really is going to happen to him, where Pinocchio has a fallout too with her because of this.The most notable example is Tybalt, who is nothing short of obnoxious, to the point where Pinocchio even has a fallout with him over it.Most of the characters, spare Pinocchio and Geppetto, are really unlikable:.The entire plot is just incoherent, confusing and a complete mess.The film feels like it was made solely to cash in on the other two Pinocchio films releasing that same year (Guillermo del Toro's stop-motion version and Disney's live-action remake by Robert Zemeckis). By the way, the "true" story the movie presents is an extremely clichéd and generic love story, which makes no sense at all.Some other famous aspects from the book were omitted as well, such as scenes including the hanging of Pinocchio (though to be fair, that wasn't in Disney's original 1940 film either) and the donkey transformation scene. In fact, it even goes the extra mile by having Tybalt (a new annoying horse character) INSULT the original book and most other adaptions of it during the exposition by claiming the growing noses part of the original story is stupid, hence the reason why it's titled a "true" story. Speaking of not following the original story, the movie itself is aware that the story it's trying to tell is not part of the original.Seriously, why even bother making a Pinocchio film if you're not even going to have it follow the original story? For example, despite Pinocchio being the main character, we don't ever see him lying nor see his nose growing in the film.Abysmal grasp of the original source material: The main problem with this film is that, despite it being called Pinocchio: A True Story, it has absolutely nothing to do with the original Pinocchio story, hence making the film's title incredibly misleading.The film is based on the Italian book The Adventures of Pinocchio and its Russian version Buratino, with the most well-known US English dub starring Pauly Shore as the main character.Īfter being created by his father Geppetto out of wood, young Pinocchio runs away from home to see the world, joining a circus and falling in love with the ringmaster's girl.
