Scary for some
This movie tells you why you should say no to drugs, but also it includes some bad language, and it can scare few (My mom was scared), so it's pretty dark for a few minutes, then it kinda clears up.

The greatest film of all time
This is the most influencial film in the disney canon. It has lots of tough situations to conquer. It is like knowing from right to wrong. This is a very great film. I highly recommeded it.

I have to say, this is not one of Disney's best movies.
I understand this movie's considered to be a Disney classic, but I didn't like it as a child and I still don't see what's so great about it now. I found the songs to be unmemorable (and with Disney, the music can really make or break the movie), and it was not only boring but a bit dark, too. If you want to see a great movie about Pinocchio, I would reccomend the stopmotion special Pinocchio's Christmas (it's not Disney, it's Rankin-Bass).

really should be rated...
this is the most inapropreate G movie i have ever scene!!!!!! and for these ressons: there is underage drinking and smoking, some vilonce and peril, and language like "jackass". I think they should have rated it PG-13. Or atleast a PG because having it G rated with all that stuff in it is wrong!

Should have a PG-13 rating!
Where to start? Dancing girls that are scantily clad, caged up lead character, reliance on someone else to be your conscience, the clocks in the store are suggestive, excessive use of the word "jackass", not to mention drinking and smoking, spitting, and misbehaving. I'm sorry we bought it... I was hoping old school Disney would be sweet and nice for my 4 year old. Not so much!

Like most early Disney flicks; it's not for the younger crowd.
While it is nice for kids to have the message of obey your parents, and to have a hero as helpless and easily manipulated as them, it is not for them. Disney movies of this era (the 'Golden Age') were not made as kid's movies or even family films they were movies! And they were d**n good ones at that! People below me said that the use of the word jackass is inappropriate. People; please understand that, the word jackass is another word for a donkey (as is just plain "ass'). They say that underage smoking and drinking is encouraged; it is frowned upon. In fact; it's what turns Pinocchio and all of the other boys into asses! Roger Ebert himself stated "that is the reason why I have never smoked a cigar!" But I agree that it is too mature and dark for little children, but if you're older you will enjoy it, and be delightfully scared by it!

Disturbing Tale About Donkey Slavery
Pinocchio is pretty bad. Boys drink beer,play pool, and smoke. The words jackass is used.Boys turn into donkeys and are sold to circuses and salt mines. This deeply disturbed me, since I have a kind heart. In one seen, it apears that pinocchio has died. Red Lobster is shown in one seen.

Young children don't always have the attention span to get the whole message. All they see is Pinocchio smoking and drinking and are off doing something else when he suffers the consequences... It's not appropriate for any child under 5 in my oppinion and frankly was better off staying in the vault.

TEACHES A VERY GOOD LESSON!!! NOT SCARY
I saw this movie when I was a kid. I learned alot from the movie, lying was bad, getting in with the wrong crowd had consequences, drinking, smoking etc, would make me into something I didnot want to be. And that the greatest love of all, can make all things possible. Most of all, it ingrained into me that I had to have a conscience. My parents did not talk to me about the movie after it was over. WHY???? Parents today are making wimps out of todays kids. I guess that is why some of today's parents are called HELICOPTER PARENTS, THEY HOVER TOO MUCH! LET THE KID ENJOY THE MOVE, IF THEY HAVE QUESTIONS , THEY WILL ASK!

Ok for teenage and up
When I watched this again for the first time in so many years, I was very creeped out. Sure I get the idea behind the bad little boys turning into donkeys (that's the nice word for it), but the older man capturing the little boys creeped me out due to our current culture where kids can vanish never to seen again.

Not cussing?
Here is the thing. For those of you who think that they are using jackass as profanity, you are right and wrong. A jackass was a 1940's term for donkey but they way the guy said it you'd think he was swearing but the way pinnochio said it he meant it as the fact that he had a donkey head

Great, And That's No Lie
This was Disney's Second Animated Feature after Snow White , and as was once criticized as having no dwarfs, but it's so marvelous in it's one right. Other than scenes of smoking and drinking that show the consequenes, some scenes are a little scary. Children turning to donkeys, and Monstro the whale may frighten little ones, but I wasn't afraid.

Wow, I wish I had watched this again before letting my kids see it. Or I wish I had at least checked here and read the parent reviews first! Won't make that mistake again...
Use of the word "jackass," scary and mature themes like slavery, smoking, drinking - way too much for little kids. Avoid it - I'm thinking older movies may need to be reviewed periodically to see if their rating still holds. I can't imagine this would be G-rated if it was a new movie that was just being released.

Great movie, although a little scary
This is one of my favorite Disney movies. Although it IS a little dark-i loved being scared when i was little-I think, though, it shouldve been PG, since it was a little scary and it showed kids drinking and smoking (and i think i heard Jiminy Cricket say "jackass") But other than that, it was great!

Quite possibly the darkest of all Disney movies. While some may dissaprove of more adult content, I think that it is much safer for kids than The Incredibles.
