Synopsis
The Adventures of Pinocchio (1996) is a live-action family fantasy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Steve Barron. Martin Landau plays Geppetto, the ageing woodcarver whose most ambitious puppet — voiced and played by Jonathan Taylor Thomas — one day steps off the workbench and into the world.
All Pinocchio wants is to be a real boy. That single wish sends him through street markets and cons, into the clutches of a scheming showman and back again, with his nose doing the job of a conscience at every turn. The production blended practical animatronics with live performance rather than animation, giving the story a textured, almost storybook physicality that sets it apart from glossier retellings. Shot across multiple European countries, the film leans closer to the darker, stranger corners of Carlo Collodi's original tale than many family viewers might expect.
It is the right pick for families who want something a touch more grounded — and a touch more eccentric — than the standard animated version. Watch The Adventures of Pinocchio (1996) online on iFILM.
