Pinocchio 3000 (2004)

You won't be disappointed!

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I love this movie. It has flying hovercars in the city Scamboville in the sky. There are Hoverboards Mayor Scamboli, Cabby and Rodo, and Marline ride on. This movie has flying car chase scenes and flying car crashes. Best of all it has 3D hologram projectors and advanced robots.I enjoyed the music to Pinocchio 3000. Songs like "What's the difference?" and "Welcome to Scamboland" dance. I enjoyed the instrumental music to the movie. I also liked how funny the 2 sidekick robots were and the plot to the futuristic movie of Pinocchio. It even has a message for environment people about how we shouldn't tear down, trees, plants and grass. (similar to "The Lorax" movie remake or Wall-e) It's the year 2013 and we don't have hover technology or 3D hologram technology yet curse it. I want those hoverboards, flying hovercars and 3D hologram projectors they have in "Pinocchio 3000" and become a reality. Because I'm ready for it now. Meantime this movie "Pinocchio 3000" will inspire me to build a real hoverboard.

normally i don't find CGI animated toons all that interesting. they seem common and factory made. usually i prefer the old technique of hand drawing in animation. it seems more honest and spontaneous to me. i liked this movie though. Disney's 'Pinocchio' is my favorite cartoon and one of my all time favorite movies. so i was pretty interested in this concept and had really wanted to see this. i wasn't disappointed. it was trippy entertainment and a definite amusement.i guess i'm attracted to the Pinocchio story. i read Collodi's book a couple of times (once as a adult), and i can't say i was impressed by anything whimsical or even appealing. it's a pretty weird book with a lot of nagging moralizing. the original illustrations aren't even cute like Disney, they're actually kind of creepy. even though the literary merits of this story don't appeal to me, the character, when modified aesthetically, seems to interest me and his quest of right and wrong seems eternal and timeless.this whole thing, however, didn't have much to do with the original story or Collodi. it didn't seem very Disney inspired either. good enough. nothing wrong with a fresh start. especially when dealing with a stodgy quagmire like Collodi's preachy kiddie book.although having little or nothing to do with the original 'Pinocchio' storyline, there was a nice working of the Monstro the Whale character into the plot as sinister amusement park ride that turns thrill seeking little children into naughty little bots.even though i don't respond much to CGI animated toons, i watch em just like any other animation fan. i was surprised at how elaborate the CGI effects were here and how well it competed with Disney and other major competitors on a artistic level if not commercial. it is also very accomplished for a CGI animated film made so early at the outset of the genre. i believe this film was made around 2001 or 003. it's pretty impressive for the time and still holds up when compared with recent CGI productions.speaking of 2001, i thought it was amusing to note the similarities at times in this film to pay weird sci-fi homages like to Jordan Belson's light effects in '2001' and to the sci-fi imagery seen in Luc Besson's 'Fifth Element'. done remarkably well here too.all in all this movie was a lot of fun and very amusing. it is also one of those rare kid flicks that deserves more attention and notoriety. it's sci-fi gimmick is effectively carried off and compliments the original character quite well. after all, Pinoky was always a automaton of sorts. man-made like a ASIMO.

Pinocchio 3000 is not a bad movie as such, in fact I found the concept quite interesting. It does look beautiful for instance, the colours are plentiful and not too flat, the character designs are not too blocky and the backgrounds are quite detailed. The music is also pleasant, and the voice acting from Whoopi Goldberg and particularly Malcolm MacDowell is excellent. The rest of the film though is rather dull, the story is too thin and very predictable sometimes, and the writing doesn't fare much better sadly either. The physical humour gets tired fairly quickly and the dialogue is rather banal and simplistic. The moral is played in a rather heavy-handed way and while the characters are well designed and voiced the writing disallows them to have any depth to them. All in all, not bad but in a sense a missed opportunity. 5/10 Bethany Cox

I thought Pinocchio 3000 was an excellent movie, Based on the Disney Movie Pinocchio, as this time this one is set in the future, for Pinocchio to be a robot instead of a wooden doll, i liked what was put into the movie as it was just like what the future would be like, cars, vans, etc: floating in the sky, everything that is set well into the future. In the year 3000, the 31st Century. Whoopi Goldburg is an excellent actress in my opinion, she has been for many decades. I never thought she would star in a movie that is animated and based on the same thing that's been made before. Overall i give this movie 10 out of 10 because i think it is fantastic. If i were you, go ahead and see this movie. You will be surprised with the difference.
