Pinocchio

Adapted from the classic children's story by Carlo Collodi, here, Pinocchio (Gabriel) decides to skip school with his friend Lampwick so they can attend a magic carnival run by Madame Flambeau, who tricks Pinocchio into buying a magic potion that purports to cure any illness. The purchase of the potion forces Pinocchio into a contract with the carnival from which he cannot escape, resulting in an exciting and unforgettable escapade for the magical puppet-boy!

"Gabriel Thomson does well in this quirky and rather under rated movie."

"Gabriel Thomson steals the show, as the now-real son of a wooden Gipetto. He does a cute song and dance routine while dressed as a girl in one scene, too."

"he British actor Gabriel Thomson as Pinocchio. Gabriel Thomson is one of very few young actors who have natural skills and the ability to project their characters' sensibility with very subtle and decent acting. I was stunned by his genuine performance and the way he is able to express so much with so little endeavor. He shines here as he does in his most notable appearance in 'Enemy at the Gates'. He manages to vitalize Pinocchio in a way that makes the audience relate to him as a character - something that is not always the case in movies featuring a preposterous edge as 'Pinocchio' does. Gabriel's performance is very intriguing and much better than everything else this movie has to offer."
