Editorial Reviews

The New Adventures of Pinocchio is the charming sequel to the 1996 live-action movie. Though the cast is largely new, Martin Landau returns as Geppetto; his role is pared down, however, by a neat twist in the tale. Udo Kier also returns, this time in the new bad guy/girl role of Madame Flambeau, whose carnival sets itself up in Pinocchio's town and offers everyone a miracle elixir to change their lives. Pinocchio (now played as a real boy by Gabriel Thomson) hopes the elixir will make his papa recover from a nasty cold, but it turns out that Flambeau has tricked him with puppet-making juice. So now it's Geppetto who's the wooden star of the show! Lots of surprises keep the story happily moving along, with secret identities waiting to spring from the likes of Warwick Davis as the ringleader Dwarf. The Jim Henson Studio puppets are first-class as always, with some flawless computer graphics coming to the rescue every so often. There's a beautiful backdrop of the Luxembourg countryside for this pantomime, and everyone looks as if they're having great fun putting the film together. --Paul Tonks

5.0 out of 5 stars The New Adventures of Pinocchio, March 12, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The New Adventures of Pinocchio (DVD)

I had to watch this on HBO with my 5 year old brother. I thought it was gonna be just for little kids but it wasn't. It's kind of wierd and even scary sometimes and the bad guy is totally spooky. My dad even liked it and he never likes kid movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gabriel Thomson is perfect!, February 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The New Adventures of Pinocchio [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I being the first one to ever to review this tape am honored to do such. I first saw this on HBO Family I thought hey I'll stay here for a little while and the more I watched the more I more I wanted to stay right where I was. Gabriel Thomson is so cute he was made for his role! I want to tell you all something else but my sister is here so I can't look forward to my second review about the big secret, the storyline, the cast and so forth.
