Alexander Walker London Evening Standard May 20, 2022
This animated version of the spunky wooden puppet’s story has an easy-to-follow vigour and a surprising lot of narrative novelty even for people familiar with Disney’s classic. Go to Full Review
Richard Freedman Newark Star-Ledger Jan 6, 2026
Practically everything else in this "Pinocchio" is ripped off from somewhere. Go to Full Review
Tim Brayton Alternate Ending Apr 14, 2024
2.5/5
Despite all of its elements that are individually deranged and visionary and feel like they were wrenched out of the pitch-black recesses of some underground animator's brain, the thing as a whole feels like such yawning, uninspired hackwork. Go to Full Review
John Coleman Observer (UK) May 20, 2022
Unfortunately the dialogue is nearly joke-free and the cheapo animation would have the Disney of that 1940 gem showing Mr. Scheimer the door. Go to Full Review
Tom Cassidy Common Sense Media Oct 13, 2021
3/5
A cross between a 1980s cute and cuddly Saturday morning cartoon and a 1970s psychedelic rock album cover nightmare, this animated adventure is an impressive piece of art. Go to Full Review
Juan Carlos Coto South Florida Sun-Sentinel Aug 19, 2021
2/4
Throughout the film, Pinocchio acts in a manner convenient to the plot, but winds up looking like a downright blockhead, instead of a cartoon hero that a child can love or admire. Go to Full Review
