I honestly didn’t like it. I was very excited and thought the film looked beautiful. But it all seemed way too simple for me. The character development just happened without any reason. Gepetto was a grumpy guy, missing his son and treating Pinocchio badly. Then he gets kidnapped and all is a sudden he loves him.

Pinocchio is an absolute twat. Ungrateful, selfishC etc. So like any child. Suddenly, he gets a heart of gold. Oh, and he loves his father.

Cricket? Same. Hasn’t seen Pinocchio all film. Suddenly loves him and gives up his one and only wish.

The film is full of these examples where characters act a certain way because the movie’s plot requires it, but it just comes out of nowhere. The songs are also relatively meh and I really didn’t like Pinocchio’s design, which looked more like a horrifying Digimon (anybody who watched the show, knows the one).

I still think it looked beautiful and the setting was amazing, but for me it was all form and no substance. But that’s just me, and I’m happy the majority seemed to absolutely love this film.
