Pinocchio [DVD]

Great portrayal of the legendary Disney film Pinocchio. Brilliant acting and a fantastic adaption of the original cartoon.We all enjoyed it!

Like it all

Lovely to see British actors in an Italian made film. Some characters are dubbed. Lovely magical film. Great acting. Soundtrack very low so had to switch my tv volume high, even then I lost parts of the dialogue. Needed subtitles.

This is made by RAI, the Italian broadcaster. International cast including Bob Hoskins and Joss Ackland. The actors all seem to be acting to a different beat which is kinda off-putting. Also I'm not sure if some of the actors are dubbed. Can't fault the town the producers found for the location of Pinocchio's home -it's beautiful and the costumes are lovely. Animated wooden Pinocchio is done well. Don't know why they had the author of Pinocchio writing the story in the film as the action went along. This device didn't really work. If you want a different take on the original book from Disney, you could do worse than this. Bit long as a film. Maybe it was originally shown as a mini series on TV.

Excellent thank you

Children sat and watched it all.

But quite long...9yr old was ok with time but best not for bedtime

The actors in this movie are appallingly bad, it’s only saviour to the movie is the presence of ‎ Bob Hoskins & Thomas Brodie-Sangster, otherwise the movie is a complete farce, don’t waste your money on buying it.

Hübsches US-Kunstmärchen. Blitzartige Lieferung. Toller Preis. Keine deutsche Fassung.

This is a delightful adaptation of the Pinocchio tale and I can't think of a better actor to play Pinocchio than Robbie Kay (Peter Pan in Once Upon a Time and more). He plays perfectly and to a tee the rascally puppet/boy who desperately wants to become a real boy but keeps falling into the wrong adventures. It starts off with the author Carlo Collodi promising his publisher a new children's story but has no clue as what to write about. He brings in a carpenter to repair the broken leg of his desk. The carpenter by the name of Geppetto says that it is a fine hard wood that has life in it. Collodi comes up with his story of a carpenter who recently lost both his wife and baby son and in loneliness makes a puppet to keep him company unknowingly out of the wood that is alive within and the rest is history. Bob Hoskins (Who Framed roger Rabbit) does an excellent job as Geppetto. In fact the entire cast works well together. The only disappointment was the special effect of the giant shark/whale which looked like something out of the 50's. This was also a TV production which I didn't realize and it took me for a moment when in the middle of the film the end credits came up but the second half started right up. It is also regions 2/4 which means it will not play on most U.S. DVD/Blue Ray plays unless you have a region free unit. I don't know why this wasn't made in a region 1 or region free version. But again, I don't know why we have region coding anyway. I give the film because it is just plain good and entertaining.

Ich bin Gehörlose, ich gefällst mir sehr gut aber das ist lustig Film

This is the best version of Pinocchio I've seen to date. I would highly recommend it to anyone. While there are other copies of this version on Amazon that are only specific to regions 2 and 4 this copy is an all regions copy meaning it can play in any DVD player anywhere in the world. The only thing I saw wrong with this copy of the film is it has no main menu. It is also split up into two parts although both parts are on the same DVD so it can be a little confusing when you watch it for the first time and the credits role after the first part concludes. However the second part starts right up after the credits are done for the first part so these are no major issues. Other than that the movie itself plays fine and its also an English version of the film which is a big plus. As I said before I would highly recommend this film to anyone who likes Pinocchio. Thank you Amazon for manufacturing this on Demand. I've been looking for an English all regions version of this film to own since I heard about it and saw it the first time.

OK
