Pinocchio

Plot synopsis:
The story begins with an inventor named Geppetto making a robot, Pinocchio, as his son. Meanwhile, an evil mayor named Scamboli is building a technological city called "Scamboville" to get rid of nature. He also hates all children, except for his beloved daughter, Marlene. When Marlene expresses concerns to Scamboli about there being no space for children to have fun, he sets out to make a kids-only theme park called "Scamboland".
That night, Geppetto and Spencer the Penguin are preparing to make Pinocchio come to life. But Scamboli has seized control of the city mains to light up his theme park for the Grand Opening, so, Geppetto has no choice but to steal his electricity. Suddenly, Scamboland has a power outage and the children leave. After Pinocchio comes to life, much to his family's delight, Cyberina the fairy appears. She decides to grant Geppetto's wish to turn Pinocchio into a real boy if he learns about right and wrong.
The next morning, Pinocchio is walking his way to school with Spencer when he meets up with Zach, Cynthia and Marlene. Marlene challenges Pinocchio to an Imagination game, hosted by Cyberina. Marlene wins the game, but Pinocchio snatches the medal from her. As he runs away, he comes across Scamboli's robotic henchmen, Cabby and Rodo, who take Pinocchio to see Scamboli. While they talk to each other, Pinocchio says, "Life would be great if kids were more like us", sparking an idea in Scamboli's diabolical brain.
With the true opening of Scamboland, he makes Pinocchio into an attraction, but when Geppetto gets word of this, he tries to convince him to come home. While Pinocchio performs at a concert, Scamboli kidnaps Geppetto. Afterward, all the children board a roller coaster ride called "A Whale of a Change", which transforms all of them into "Scambobots". Meanwhile, Pinocchio gives Marlene her medal back and befriends her, and they spend the night together at Marlene's private garden.
As they awaken the next morning, Marlene is crestfallen to find that Scambobots have destroyed her garden. Hearing Pinocchio laughing at her dismay, she gives the medal to him and revokes her vow of friendship. But Pinocchio, realizing that he had accidentally helped Scamboli, leaves to find his Dad. He returns home, but finds that his father isn't there, but Spencer is. He tells Pinocchio that he went off to get him, so they head off to find him, only to find Scamboli turned Geppetto into a robot to kill Pinocchio. After Spencer blinds Scamboli with his camera and steals the remote that controls Geppetto and the other Scanbobots, Pinocchio and Spencer hide out in the "Tunnel of Danger" ride, where Scamboli manages to trap them. Marlene arrives and helps Pinocchio to avoid the tunnel's many dangers. However, Scamboli incapacitates Marlene, so he can kill Pinocchio with a laser gun. Pinocchio uses the medal to shield himself from the laser, causing the beam to reflect back at Scamboli and destroy his weapon. Meanwhile, Cabby accidentally gave Geppetto the remote that controls all Scambobots, getting them fired. Geppetto then commands the robots to get Scamboli.
Scamboli attempts to escape in Cabby's shuttle, but is caught by a Scambocop. It tosses Scamboli inside a shuttle and flies down to the Whale ride. Pinocchio, Geppetto, Marlene and Spencer go to turn the robots back into children. Soon it's Geppetto's turn, but Scamboli presses a button to stop the machines. Pinocchio goes inside the whale and tries to fix it. Pinocchio finds the out-of-reach button, so he begins to tell a lie about his personality . Once he reached it, Scamboli was caught on the cart. Pinocchio then realizes that everything was his fault. Cyberina appears, Pinocchio tells her that he has learned about Right and Wrong and turns Pinocchio into a real boy and Geppetto back into a human. Suddenly, Scamboli, turned into a robot, appears and Marlene was shocked. Cyberina borrows Cynthia's "Funbrella" to make sunshine and bring all the plants Scamboli has destroyed. It ends with Spencer taking a picture of Pinocchio, Geppetto and Marlene.

Review:
waste of time. As other reviewers have noted, this movie had the potential to be good, but the direction is so mind-numbing bad that it is not worth watching. In fact, the viewer ought to feel insulted at the way the director insults their intelligence. Every cliché is overplayed, as if it is assumed that the viewer is too stupid to get the joke unless they are hit over the head with it.I think the filmmakers couldn't decide whether they wanted to do a soft-core porn flick or an adult-themed comedy, so they tried to do a little of both, and ended up doing neither. In fact, it represents the worst of both genres: a soft-core porn that is not erotic and comedy that is not funny.Monica Gayle is beautiful to look at (as always), but other than that, the film has no redeeming value.. a great cast wasted. With a cast that included Dyanne Thorne, Uschi Digard, Monica Gayle, and Vincene Wallace, this film should have been far more erotic than it was. Very disappointing. The sex scenes, the few that there are in this film, are cut way too short and should have been extended a lot more than they were. Since they aren't, the film kind of falls flat on the erotic front and that's too bad considering the talent especially in front of the camera. A good and very sexy erotic cast is completely wasted. Too bad too as this film could have been an erotic masterpiece but as it stands now, it is a very disappointing erotic effort. The actresses in the cast have beautiful bodies. They go through the motions alright but the sex scenes go by way too fast. What was the rush? If the producers had let the sex scenes play out more than they did, the film would have been much much better. As an example, the sex scene with the great and beautiful Uschi Digard goes by way too fast. When a woman has a body like Uschi, guys want to see her for more than just thirty seconds in a film.. More Than His Nose Grows. Pinocchio (1971) * 1/2 (out of 4) Gepetta (Monica Gayle) is a sweet toy making but if also very lonely. So lonely that she's actually still a virgin. One day she makes a wooden boy but knows since he's made of wood there can't ever be anything between them. However, the Fairy Godmother (Dyanne Thorne) brings Pinocchio (Alex Roman) to life but he must stay out of trouble, which isn't easy.The tag-line for this film is quite good as it points out that it's not just Pinocchio's nose that grows. I'm sure you get it. This film, also known as THE EROTIC ADVENTURES OF PINOCCHIO, really isn't anything special and in fact for an "erotic" film it's rather boring, tame and not all that erotic. As I go through more of these fairy tale "adult" titles it's becoming quite clear that CINDERALLA (1977) was the best of them.This film here is just poorly made and doesn't feature a bit of energy or excitement. The direction really doesn't do much in regards to making the film entertaining as the sex scenes are all rather boring and there's not too much humor that actually works. The highlights in regards to the humor is how the magic wand from the Fairy Godmother keeps accidentally taking all of her clothes off. Who doesn't want to see a nude Thorne? She's certainly the highlight of the picture as Roman is quite bland in the title role.. Prototype of later, better erotic fairytale movies. If you've seen the Charles Band re-tooling of Cinderella, or even the less well made erotic remake of Alice in Wonderland, you may (as I did) think this film is worth seeing. Not so. This early 70's campfest can't even pull kistch off  correctly. Neither "erotic" nor an "adventure" as we watch Pinocchio deal with the gift of life by bcoming some kind of gigolo. In fact, the bulk of the movie reads like gags in a bad burlesque show. I can't say more, not to withhold spoilers so much as the fact the way the film is shot makes it difficult to know what's going on. In an effort to reduce overall nudity (of which there is little and never is it particularly moving), the camera zooms in too far or cuts away just as a scene might have gotten interesting. Highly  disappointing, since the final result is a film that is not much less moral than Disney's version, and probably just about as arousing.
