Pinocchio 3000 is real, and beyond that, a spectacular ride through a beloved fairy tale, so on-point and crisp in retelling that it ascends both narrative and visual form. To say that the film is enlightening is foolish - it IS enlightenment. Watching this film, I understood the perils of the Buddha, the trials of Heracles, and the mighty blow that Zeus dealt against the titans. I saw through the robot penguin eyes of Uncle Spencer (Howie Mandel) and saw myself, my dreams and all I would be. Atonement is here, in the smug smile of Scamboli and the singing voice of Pinocchio. What's the difference between a robot and a man, indeed.

I'm not saying we should all watch this film - it is not for the weak of will, as looking into the holy void can lead to an endless madness should you delve too deep into Cyberina's grin. Pinocchio 3000 is a dangerous magic, but holy deliverance nonetheless.
