Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

happipuppi13 Well! Looks like I'm not alone out there in having seen this "unusual sequel" to Disney's original. I just happened to see this on my neighbors beta player away on back in 1978!(or '79). In fact this stands as the very first time I ever saw anything on home video anywhere! I was 100% amazed at the idea of watching a cartoon this way! I even asked him,"Wow,how'd you do that?! Anyway,I never forgot it and all I can recall is the plot as described here. Poor little Pinnochio has returned to wooden form and now has to risk being his own timber fire by flying to Mars! (Wouldn't he have burned up either on re-entry or on the way up??) I forget how he becomes an actual boy again but for the sheer sake of nostalgia and a great child-hood memory I'll rate it 8 stars! I know that even if I get to watch it again it wont be as it was the first time but it's really the only way (besides in your mind & photos/home movies) that one can truly revisit childhood!It's not Disney but it's okay in my book. Oh! ...and Happy 40th Anniversary,wherever you are! I can't find you on video anywhere. Edited on March 11th, 2011 : I was finally able to track down an affordable copy on VHS on Amazon.com and it's finally in my possession. HOORAY!!! Amazing how much I'd forgotten about it. If any of you are still seeking it, give that same site a look.

aneustein Buried in the annals of my childhood fears is this movie that I saw when I was too young to experience anything except sensual sensation. I don't even remember the plot except that there was a horrible space whale with a weird thruster thing instead of a blowhole and terrible martian space monsters that absolutely scared the crap out of me. The whole film is extremely frightening and disturbing.I like it :)

TonyReynolds ...despite the fact that they made him a blonde... It's true that while this film is a visual departure from the Disney version (as it should be, IMO), it does have some elements that make it enjoyable nonetheless. The songs ("In the Little Toy Shop", "Goody Good Morning" and "Doin' the Impossible") are very decent and fun to listen to. Then there's the combination of a classic fairy tale and the space age (Pinocchio saves the Earth from Astro the flying whale). Throw in Arnold Stang (Nertle the Turtle), some scary intergalactic mutants, an atomic blast, and you've got...well, a decent 60's animated movie about a puppet saving the world.

jandimin wow i was beginning to think i'd imagined the whole thing. i actually did see this in the 70's as a child , i was beginning to think this was some sort of shared delusion with my brother.....i'm glad it's real ;)
