Pinocchio puppet creepy and annoying

Tried watching this the other day. I had to break it up into several sessions to make it to the end.

The movie is actually very well made and written.

However, I found the puppet design to be incredibly creepy and off putting. Pinocchio's personality was very annoying and unlikeable along with his design issues.

I agree totally. VERY poor design of the puppet, it needed to have an endearing quality and the puppet was ugly and creepy, Found myself wishing for a box of matches to light that THING on fire.

I truly believe a creepy Pinocchio works better than a cutesy one.

Maybe. I think this movie would be better and more widely received if it's main character was more likeable.

Okay. Having not seen this movie, I'll defer to your opinion.

He was most definitely annoying in the beginning, but got better. I had no problem with his appearance.
