    Why

    Pinocchio didn't look like some wooden thing that crawled out of hell to terrorize us mortals. He's just some dude who happens to be made of wood but still walks just like a normal person for some reason. I don't think magically blessed wood or whatever the hell was going on in this movie is going to work exactly like a human joint.

    What was even the point?

    Finally, the true story!

    (Explained without and spoilers) This is one of those movies i can't rate because rating it 10/10 whould be unfair and rating it anything less whould just be dumb.

    I watch this movie every day and will never stop loving it.

    This movie has everything, it has Pauly Shore as pinocchio which is the perfect man for the role. Nobody should skip this movie i highly recommend watching it with my whole heart.

    Pauly Shore deserves an Oscar!

    Father, when I can leave to be on my oooowwn? I've got the whole to seee💅💅 Everyone needs to see this cinematic masterpiece. Citizen Kane has been dethroned. From the SKEEE DEE DEDA to the "I'm ALIVE! I'm a boy and I'm ALIVE!", this movie is fun for no ages. Wouldn't recommend for your worst enemy.

    Not a creative story, even kids were either leaving in the middle of the movie or sleeping. No one was impresses.

    • Trivia
      The film's trailer went viral due to Pauly Shore's odd vocal performance as the title character - specifically, the infamous line "Father, when can I leave to be on my own? I've got the whole world to see!" Nonetheless, Shore has taken the response in good humor and even joined in by creating memes of his own.
