Pinocchio

About This Movie

So, Pinocchio from '67 is this quirky take on the classic tale. You've got Turli, the wooden puppet, who’s more mischief than virtue. The film has a light-hearted tone, but there’s a chaotic energy that really drives it forward. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, contribute to its charm, reminding you of a simpler time in family filmmaking. Most might not know, but the pacing feels a bit erratic, which kind of adds to the whimsical atmosphere. It's a unique spin, and honestly, Turli's antics can either enchant or frustrate, depending on your mood. It's that blend of chaos and innocence that sets it apart from other adaptations.

This 1967 version of Pinocchio is less common in collector circles, as many tend to gravitate towards the more famous 1940 Disney version. Its scarcity in various formats adds a layer of intrigue, though not much has been released since its original airing. Collectors often appreciate its unique animation style and the distinct interpretation of the Pinocchio story that diverges from mainstream portrayals.
