Of course it pales in comparison to the Disney animated masterpiece, but there is much to recommend in this live-action adaptation of Carlo Collodi's tale of the little wooden puppet who yearns to be a real boy. Martin Landau gives a heartfelt performance as Gepetto and Pinocchio, brought to life by Jim Henson's Creature Shop and voiced by Home Improvement's Jonathan Taylor Thomas, is an animatronic marvel. A strong optional purchase. (K. Lee Benson)
