The new Pinocchio is on Disney+ - but how does it measure up to the original:
From there, you know what happens; the guileless Pinocchio has got no strings to hold him down, and when Geppetto sends him off to school the next morning he’s easily led astray by a variety of sinister adults and anthropomorphic animals. There’s Honest John , who cons little Pinocchio into becoming a part of a traveling performance troupe led by the wicked Stromboli .
Pinocchio’s protector through all these misadventures is his fairy-appointed conscience, Jiminy Cricket, voiced bywith a high-pitched, vaguely Southern accent. Jiminy serves as Pinocchio’s adviser in the ways of the world since, as a former blockhead, good ol’ “Pinoke” is hopelessly naive when it comes to society’s cynical ways. But this version of the title character is so saintly he gets in trouble almost entirely by accident.
With all these artificial characters and environs swirling around Hanks, there could have been an opportunity to turn his living puppet son into a metaphor for cinema in the age of soulless visual effects. But the movie never brings any kind of meta-commentary to the story — or much of any other message or theme either.
