Because if he or she had really written a review for GoodTimes' Pinocchio, he or she wouldn't have said that this film is evil or depressing because it simply isn't anything like that. This version of Pinocchio is one of the most touching animated adventures to come out of the studio. There's a lot of emotion and heart and when I was a little boy, this film used to make me cry. The last few moments are absolutely moving.

The story begins when a spark of magic scapes from the home of the Blue Fairy and lands on Gepetto the toymaker's fireplace. The spark of magic blends into one of the logs in the fire, it is this very log that Gepetto then turns into a toy all for his own. He creates a little puppet which immediatly comes alive, for it had been blessed with the Blue Fairy's magic. Gepetto sends his boy to school, but being a puppet just learning about the world, he decides to instead follow temptation and turn to see a puppet play instead. Pinocchio lives through a number of adventures like this, being trusty of unkind strangers and lying to get out of trouble, but when he becomes the scare that threatens the very Blue Fairy's life, he promises to be a good boy and is given his heart's greatest desire.

I am so sick of people comparing GoodTimes films with Disney films and even more sick of adults expecting to be pleased with a film that is meant for smaller children. Many of my friends have seen this wonderful animated tale when they were *children* and they all love it. Adults have a harder time appreciating simple beauty and are too judgemental, these films should be reviewed by children, not grown-ups. This was the review of an open-minded teen-ager.

this is a great movie for first graders. It is not as long as a regular movie. The students really liked it.

I've seen on Starz Kids and Family this morning and although the movie may look cheap, It had wonderful voice actors like Jim Cummings and Jennifer Hale and the movie less of a nightmare fuel than the Disney one

Niether the story or the animation is as good as the Disney versions. The songs, which are few, are not as good as those featured in the Disney films. However, Disney would never offer you three different stories for the price of one.

It wasn' the Pinnochio I wanted. The Disney was sold out. I tried to change my choice but couldn't.
It doesn't compare to the Disney version. Quite weak. I don't recommend it.
