Brokedown Cinema - A Slamdance of the Worst Movies Ever Made
There is a reason that I made the title brown.
I submit to you now dear reader the review for the first film that I ever watched specifically for inclusion on this website. Never say that I don’t suffer for you guys.
The worst thing that ever ...read the complete Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night movie review at Brokedown Cinema - A Slamdance of the Worst Movies Ever Made
Washington Post (Richard Harrington)
Filmation's "Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night" is a step above the Hanna-Barbera school of animation, but also a step below the Disney standard to which it obviously aspires. It's true that they don't make 'em like they used to -- can't afford to, ...read the complete Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night movie review at Washington Post (Richard Harrington)

One always approaches with trepidation a non-Disney animated feature, especially when it is an original sequel to a classic tale already filmed to great acclaim by the House of Mouse. Anyone who has ever suffered through Happy Ever After will know how ...read the complete Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night movie review at MJSimpson.co.uk
Doug Pratt's Laserdisc Review
The ad art claims that the 1987 animated film is a "continuation of the family classic." "Recapitulation" would be more like it.

I wasn't around at the time Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night was released into theaters, but now I have the tape my dad gave me. I watched it the very night I got it, and it is simply ...

I watched this around the same time as I first saw Unco and it still has stayed with me. I never was much for Pinocchio side kicks in it, but the Emperor himself is a truly fearsome sight and I love the fact that at the very end after the evils defeat, ...

Produced at a time when animation was in a serious slump, this rather curious feature, produced by Filmation Studios, attempts to make a sequel out of a now famous fairy tale, Carlo Collidi's PINOCCHIO. Walt Disney had made the story popular in his ...

When I first saw this when I was six, it really creeped me out. The scene with Pinocchio being transformed into a puppet again was chilling to me. However, I recently got the idea to watch it again. So I ordered it used off of Amazon. This time I noticed ...

I saw this movie when I was about 10 years old. I thought it was the greatest ever. I was dazzled by the animation, esp of the Fairy Godmother and the Emperor of the Night. I also loved the song "Love is the Light Inside Your Heart". I guess the ...
