[Film] Public warning - don’t take your kids to see Pinocchio

marcos3263 · Aug 17, 2020

Took my 6 year old to see the live action remake of that lovely 1940s cartoon Pinocchio.

It was genuinely disturbing.

Spoilers but he burnt his feet off, got hung, drowned as a donkey, elated by a sharped toothed whale but mainly the characters where scary as hell.

The wheezing tuna, nightmare inducing.

Worse than any saw film

You should try taking him/her to a West Ham match. Far far more disturbing.

Thought this was another Boris Johnson thread.

Have you read the book? It's ****ing horrifying.

Not as disturbing as me being taken to see 'The Land That Time Forgot' aged 5.

Still remember the nightmares.

I did the 0-6 away defeat there and was sat in the away end. I couldn't agree more.

BBC film review said it was disturbing for a PG

The original was pretty disturbing too....

I was scarred for life when my mum took me to see " A Walt Disney film " at the age of six... it was Fantasia, absolute crock of shite, even Mickey Mouse abandoned the production before the end...

As an aside, Do you have to wear a mask in the cinema? That wouldn't help with the 'Kill the big nosed bell cheese" atmosphere

Took my 3 year old to see the original film. He got bored and we left. Not before we saw Pinocchio drinking beer and getting wasted. He was just a boy FFS!

I saw that too, this is very much a dark version.

With a family-friendly Disney remake out in 2021.

Mines starting life in the north stand next season as a benchmark!

We took our then 4 year old to see the highly regarded kids animation Coraline.

It was like a toned down horror, more at the Amityville end of the movies spectrum, than the Bambi end.

She still remembers it 11 years on.

I ran out of the Plaza cinema in Worthing when One Million B.C. first aired in about 1966. I didn’t get to see Rachel Welshs tits but caught up with them again a few years later.

You're right. You can't see the pitch!

My mum thought it was a good idea to let me watch Threads when I was about 9 years old (at the height of the cold war).

The only positive being that I've never been scared by any film since.

The original blue lagoon, skeletons in the cave scene, warped my tiny mind :ohmy:

Kids need to see disturbing stuff so that they can cope with our disturbing reality.
