Geppetto is a lonely puppetmaker whose wooden creatures are the only family he knows. Years ago, he and his sweetheart carved their names into an old pine tree in Hidden Valley. But Geppetto was unabl...( read more  read more... )e to declare his love, and she married his brother instead. One day, as he is traveling through the forest, a log from that forgotten tree finds its way into his wheelbarrel, inspiring Geppetto to carve a puppet he names Pinocchio, who magically begins to walk and talk! Determined to be a rael boy, Pinocchio goes looking for fun and adventure in an unfamiliar world. A nose that grows, a giant sea monster and a wild theme park are just some of the exploits he encounters. Pursued by the evil showman Lorenzini, Pinocchio must learn to sidestep the enticing traps set for him by the cunning Felinet and her partner Volpe. Finally with the help of a wise-cracking cricket named Pepe, Pinocchio foils his foes and learns that only a miracle of the heart can turn a puppet''s dream into reality.

    A quality live-action telling of the Pinocchio story with a real puppet as Pinocchio and Martin Landau as Gepetto. It's very imaginative with nice visuals. I think they did it really well for an enjoyable movie.

    This movie is a travesty. A peice of the original Pinocchio died with the creation of this film.

    I like this Movie, finally I could watch it from the beginning, it is really funny.
    I always enjoy to see Jonathan Taylor Thomas `s Movies when he was a small boy, he was really cute, already adored him in the Show "Home Improvement" with Tim Allen. He was really funny in that ...( read more)Show. A great Movie for all Pinocchio Fans. I was so lost in the story that I was really surprised when Pinocchio turned in to this Sweet little Boy Jonathan Thomas Taylor. Great Movie.
    Just to get straight.
    There is nothing creepy in this Movie, it is a Family Movie. There are different version of Pinocchio and one of them is creepy it is called Pinocchio`s Revenge but not this.
