The original Pinocchio scares me to death, given the themes (Pleasure Island oof, Pinocchio threatened to be burned alive, the coachman alluding to 'when they come back they aint boys no more'), even as an adult but boy does it have some of the most beautiful cell hand painted animation I've ever seen. Why is Monstro Lovecraftian? Pinocchio is a selfish block of wood. This production is heartless and a money grab. The voice acting is shrill to the point i turned the sound way down and put the captions on. Tom Hanks is better than this. I'll wait for Guillermo's darker version. 3 stars for Figaro because I'm a cat owner.
