About This Movie

So, 'Pinocchio: A True Story' is kind of an interesting take on the classic tale. Directed by Vasily Rovensky, it has this distinct mix of animation that feels quite different from other adaptations. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but that adds to the charm, I think. Young Pinocchio, voiced with a hint of innocence, really captures that wanderlust vibe. You can feel his desire to escape from Jepetto's shadow. And the horse Tibalt? He's got a personality that sometimes steals the show. The film dives into themes of freedom and belonging, with the circus setting giving it an adventurous flair. It’s not just another rehash, there's something quirky about it that sticks.
