The concept of branch was never even thought about. Infantry epaulets, cavalry Stetson insignia. The same with every "soldier." 2873 rifles in 1965? Comanches and apaches in apparently a very Canadian rocky-ish Missouri? The three kids are siblings and the children of the writer/producer, so their acting was flat awful. Nobody else's was much better. Basically, describing this as a project t of passion or some such nonsense should not mean casting historical accuracy to the wind. In was really surprised a jet plane didn't fly by and get worked into the preposterous story. We did have fun making fun of the dialogue and adding our own, such as "we'll have a farm with horses, cattle, sheep... AND ORTHODONTIA FOR YOU KIDS, BECAUSE... DAYYYYUMMM!" As we all one, the army hang every Union soldier 40 acres and a mule or something... 😆😂🤣

IMDB's cast listing is incorrect for this series. Robbie Kay is listed as Pinocchio but he plays another character. Thomas Sangster plays the title role. Kay famously played an evil Peter Pan in the Once Upon a Time franchise, and his image is used on the poster, so hence the confusion, but he plays the humanized puppet's questionable "friend" in this short-lived series. Excellent actor, as is Sangster, and their chemistry is great. A couple of years earlier, Kay would have been an excellent Pinocchio because of his elf-like appearance, and Wilkow knows if he had ever donned the strings a play or two. But not this time.
