- Excerpt: We call this “Disney’s Pinocchio” to distinguish it from the Netflix PINOCCHIO, a.k.a. “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio”. These are in keeping with the gran Hollywood tradition of having one studio announce a film, and then another one do a copycat version. In this case, Disney must have been the copycat, because del Toro was working on his version for fourteen years, and filming for three.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: Zemeckis can be a superb director, yet he gives in to his worst technology-driven impulses here, effectively sucking all meaning out of the tale.
- Betty Jo Tucker @ AuthorsDen
- Excerpt: This live-action Pinocchio can’t compare with the delightful 1940 animated movie that looked seamless, which made everything seem more real and cute and scary to me.
- James Wegg @ JWR
- Excerpt: No strings attached
