i wish this had the ending that the original pinocchio story had where pinocchio burned at the stake

Those puppets were creepy as fuuuuuuuck

This Ain't Your Grandma's Pinocchio™

I am so, so glad to hear that other people had similar experiences with this film as a kid. To tell the truth, I never actually watched it, because the cover always creeped me out. It still haunts me to this day.

If you drank the water from a roller coaster ride turning into a donkey would be the least of your concerns

you think Martin Landau had nightmares often about having been in this movie

me, 6 years of age, with the vhs player : "oh boy, that was great, let's watch it again!"

me, now: "i guess i always was f*cked up."

Of all the ways this movie could have ended, I would never in a million years have guessed “Pinocchio requests Gepetto to carve him a sex doll.” Strange times, my friends.

Also, in a weird coincidence, this is the second movie I’ve watched today that includes a scene about placing insects into rockets and launching them into space. Basically, I’m saying this movie is just as good as The Apartment.

Maybe I don't need to watch all the HDTGM movies.

This is both creepy and stupid

I remember watching this movie as a child, and it both fascinated me and disturbed me.

I understand why now.

There is something slightly off about the Pinocchio puppet, I kinda expect it to turn up at my house and kill me in my sleep.

Nightmare fuel

Cute, but also freaky. Oh, and the cringe is unreal.

horrifying film. made me cum.

this movie creeped me out as a kid

Notably NOT directed by former chief strategist Steve Bannon, the film features Jonathan Taylor Thomas in “his The Love Guru,” and a Geppetto that I would be unsurprised to find in a Family Watchdog listing. Everyone who watched it as a child has mental problems now (me).

Put my brain in a microwave already.

absolute nightmare fuel

This movie messed me up as a kid

The production design of this movie is better than I remembered as a kid. It is gorgeous and wild. The thing that dings it for me is the character of Pepe. I hated the way he was animated and the modern references he threw in to keep the kids engaged. This movie belongs on a tasty sounding movies list. Plus it has Jim Henson Creature Shop animatronics, how can it be bad?

wtf x10000000

you will know man made horrors beyond your imagination

like I’ve said before, “man, some of the shit I watch for the @hdtgm podcast....”. And since I got it at the public library I’m now probably on some list. This is a weird version of the marionette who becomes a real boy. I believe this was a straight to vhs film made overseas. There’s two types of cgi going on, there’s all kinds of weird almost pedo moments, and a strange choice of actors. There’s scene changes with no explanation of how or why Pinocchio is doing what he is doing. As a marionette he walks around town, attends school, gets into trouble all without strings and no one is surprised by this. It’s as if this happens all the time. So odd, if you can....skip it. If not, watch and listen to the @hdtgm podcast coverage of it. Zooks!
