Watch Pinocchio For Free

I love this movie so much

Just perfect...

Good movie but grossly overrated

Absolutely Fantastic

All the top film critics have obviously never read the book. This is literally how Carlo Collodi would have wanted it to be in its material; the bizarreness and abnormality of it all and how I feel with this adaptation is the same way I felt with it in the book.The story tells the tale of a log that falls out of a wagon and into the hands of a kind-hearted woodcutter named Geppetto who decides to carve the log into a beautiful marionette. The marionette comes to life causes assorts of damage in town. After his father is released from prison for his antics, the marionette which he names Pinocchio decides to change his ways and become a better behaved boy. However his mishaps lead into some mysterious adventures which also lead him to befriend the beautiful, loving Blue Fairy who teaches him more than just good behaviour but the rewards for it, which gives him an ambition to become a real boy.There are so many things I love about this film and the first one to mention is the material to the actual novel; it holds the same feel to the story which Carlo Collodi must have felt when he first wrote it and there are very few changes such as the character of Lampwick. In Collodi's Italian translation he is names "Lucignolo" (which is also in the film) and in the English dub he is renamed "Leonardo". Then there is the sea goblin and the bulldog that rescues Pinocchio from it, which is cut from the film. Then there is the Land of Toy renamed to "Fun Forever Land" which I see no complaint with as it has been renamed so many time: Pleasure Island, Playland, Terra Magico,. The designs for each background bring the story to life such as the Blue Fairy's beautiful house, Fun Forever Land in its manipulating colours of the rainbow, enticing naughty, lazy boys to become jackasses from their antics but my most favourite design would have the be the shark that swallows Pinocchio and Geppetto as it really captures the design from the original sketches when the book was first published.The actors were very conceiving to their characters. Especially Roberto Benigni's performance as the dancing, skipping Pinocchio. He obviously knew the character well form the book with his happiness, his naughtiness, his tantrums and finally his kind, loving heart. Many people criticise him for being a boy but there is no issue at all. You are never old for anything. Carol Marsh was twenty years old when she played the titular character in the 1949 Alice in Wonderland. Benigni looked the part himself with his pale face and curly black hair and his costume was very convincing to the character, all in which and in red checks with a cute pointed hat. Nicoletta Braschi did the role of the Blue Fairy justice, portraying the sweet, forgiving personality she carries as if she was actually an angel, due to the fact that she is never angry at Pinocchio for his lies or his broken promises. Even Glenn Close in the English dub convened us in her warm, soothing voice as she did with Tarzan's loving ape mother Kala. Other credits include Carlo Giuffre as the kindly old Geppetto, Peppe Barra as the wise Talking Cricket and Kim Rossi Stuart as Pinocchio's trouble-making best friend Lucignolo which suit their characters to a fault.The music is probably the best thing about the movie. Nicola Piovani is a very talented composer next to John Williams. The music really warmed my heart up to the top which fitted with the heart- feeling story perfectly well. It's only a shame that I cannot find it on any music website - even iTunes proves fruitless.Overall, this the most faithful adaptation to the classic Italian fairy tale. If anyone out there is a bookworm and would love to watch a film that relates well to whatever they read, this Pinocchio adaptation is an example.

First thing I did was to erase from my head the version of the puppet that was created by the Disney factory. Then I had to struggle to admit old Roberto as a kid, and his wife as a fairy, but now I am old enough to admit both licenses, especially from someone who did something as silly as "La vita è bella". But most of all, I had to have a bigger, harder struggle to take off those stupid glasses we wear more often than not, to see everything through Hollywood eyes. And there I was: watching an Italian film about an Italian puppet, based on an Italian book, with an old Italian clown in the main role, done with a lot of affection, with great cinematography by Spinetti, and great art work by Donati, to whom the film is dedicated... I enjoyed it very much, and even if it is hated by almost anybody that saw it, I still would recommend it to my dearest friends.

It stays much closer to the book than the Disney movie, but it doesn't capture the magic of either. The Disney movie's story was different from the book, but it stood as its own version of the story. That version was classic. This film fails to capture any of the charm of the book or movie. All charm and magic is replaced by annoyance, and stupidity. The dubbing is the worst I have ever seen, and the voice actors of the dubbing do a horrendous job. The children are played by adults, and it feels so strange and awkward. I like strange things, but this the kind of strange that makes you scratch your head. The feel is all wrong. If your a big fan of the Disney film like me you will feel hurt watching this movie.0 stars out of 4

Most of the public did not like the "Pinocchio" by Roberto Benigni is perfectly understandable: the new paradigm are the special effects film. The bulk of people love the movies where a machine, a car, a robot... are the protagonists. They left in second to put the feelings in the first instance to objects. It is the reason why the majority is willing to give, instead of becoming loving, being. But there are still some weirdos that we are recognizing the value of the simple, natural, the spiritual. And these are the ones we loved a movie like "Pinocchio," a film where tenderness is the protagonist and where actors sweeten your soul to deliver true feelings, and a message of overcoming the millions of children who roam the world without encouragement or recognition.Roberto Benigni, the great master of "Life is beautiful", wanted to be faithful to the original story that his compatriot, Carlo Collodi, published in installments in an Italian newspaper between 1882 and 1883, and as he makes his open denunciation of vice and laziness, while extolling faith, patience and understanding with a beautiful fairy (surrogate) strives to save the boy from perdition. Benigni's Pinocchio is representing charming, mischievous, funny and he welcomes without objection that the original was a child. This is a big boy, and beside the point, because many of those who are still missing. Whoever can do without the extravagances for effect, enjoy the best with this tender film. Benigni knows hearts. That no one can deny.
