   if you honestly, seriously, loved your kid, and wanted him to be safe and not expose him to innappropriate stuff, this should not be shown to him. This DVD/VHS is chock full of useless stupid nonsense that I never liked. I think that if you wanted to watch something educational, watch some presidential speech.. or rugrats.. none of these new age cartoons or old age cartoons such as this. ” i want to be a real boy “. Well, for one you can’t talk in real life, and, nobody loves you enough for oyu to be real. This video was never one of my favorites, but instead i’ve always hated it in heart. If I could put a penny on every stupid line said in this movie, I would be richer than mr.gates. This thing has horrible acting, unbelievable bad singing, and it hurts me to watch it.. knowing that people actually encourage kids to watch this. I for one think if blood and groteskness is innappropriate for their kids, this is much much worse. This and the little mermaid.. basically really all the older disney films. If you other people can recall, on the old L.M. VHS box, there was a ..Long… golden.. figure in the background of the castle. Remember? That just shows how uncalled for this is, and how all this money thats being made is going tot he wrong people….. over at disney..

   Avoid this film, and L.M. at all costs!

   Sincerely from the heart of,
   
   Me.Alex.

   While Pinocchio may be considered one of Disney’s classics, some of the scenes/content in this older animation would not be shown or considered appropriate in today’s children’s movies. Gepetto is shown smoking in bed. Many of the characters smoke. Young boys are brought — as a treat — to a place where they can smoke, “drink” (something frothy like beer or root beer), and act very destructively as much as they want. The boys are tricked into thinking this is a fun place to go but are turned into donkeys and sold to work in mines — never again to see their families. In the end, old Gepetto does get his wish. Pinocchio is a real boy. And old Gepetto gets to share his bed with the young boy. While all such scenes could be used for discussing appropriate behavior, I wouldn’t recommend showing this movie to children. I made the mistake of showing this to my 4 and 2 yr olds. This is one those films I won’t show over and over.

   This certainly is not one of my favorite Disney movies. I just really didn’t get in to the movie I guess but then I never really cared for this Fairy Tale either.
   The voice actors are good and the scenery, and colors are great. But for some reason this one really just didn’t hit home for me.

   As a child I grew up loving Pinocchio. I loved the story and the movie. But as an adult I have had time to reevaluate this story and it’s effect on our children. This movie contains too much violence and way too much fantasy for our children to handle. With all of it’s fluff and happy themes, how can you show this to our children when there is so much suffering in the world? I think its grossly unfair to the children of other countries who are dying of starvation or war for our own children to enjoy something so blatently moralizing. I believe that there are some religious undertones in the story as well that should have been kept in check. Please, for our children’s sake and future, avoid this harmful film.
