Line #6 YMMV/PinocchioATrueStory


1	* AngstWhatAngst: Pinocchio seems completely unfazed by being called an abomination and shot at, expressing little more than mild annoyance over it. Granted it didn't hurt him physically thanks to his being a puppet. But you'd think that kind of reaction would hurt at least a little bit emotionally, especially if you're supposedly a WideEyedIdealist like Pinocchio.
2	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XCA1bSm1eE Bella performs in her circus act]] manages to be quite enchanting.
3	* BileFascination: A lot of people saw the trailer, pegged the movie as a train-wreck and decided to watch it purely to witness how gloriously it would crash and burn.
4	* ClicheStorm: At its core, this is a very by-the-numbers animated flick about a young boy protagonist who wants to see the world while dealing with an [[FantasyForbiddingFather overprotective parent]], before transitioning into him [[BoyMeetsGirl trying to win a girl’s affection]], while Pinocchio’s usual goal is mainly fueled by his desire to win over his lover interest.
5	* CommonKnowledge: While many viewers do know the movie is an English dub of a Russian animated movie, they often say it’s ''the'' dub, when actually there exists two separate [=UK=] dubs that are far less ridiculous and much lighter on the ad-lib.
6	* FanNickname: This version of Pinocchio has been dubbed "fruity Pinocchio" by the internet thanks to Pauly Shore's…[[CampStraight interesting]] performance.
7	* JustHereForGodzilla: The main reason people noticed this movie was due to Pauly Shore’s…..[[CampStraight unique]] [[DullSurprise interpretation]] of Pinocchio. Most agree that Shore elevated what would otherwise have been an [[ClicheStorm incredibly generic]] [[TheMockbuster cash-grab of an animated movie]] into being SoBadItsGood.
8	* MemeticMutation: Many, and most of them stem from the US dub.
9	** Fruity Pinocchio [[labelnote: Explanation]] Many viewers noted that Creator/PaulyShore's performance as Pinocchio had shades of a stereotypical CampGay accent, leading to a running gag that Pinocchio was gay, fruity, "yassified", etc.[[/labelnote]]
10	** Pinocchio dies. [[labelnote: Explanation]] There's a bizarre scene around the beginning of the movie in which Cat, freaked out by Pinocchio being a living puppet, pulls his gun on him and shoots him square in the chest. Its meme-potential couldn't be ignored by viewers, leading to a lot of edits in which the credits roll after Pinocchio is knocked down, as if the character just actually died. [[/labelnote]]
11	** Faaathur, when can I leave to be on my o-hown? I've got the whole wooorld to see! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A quote from Pinocchio in the US dub's trailer, which immediately caught people's attention for how its delivery shifts from incredibly flat to CampGay within the span of a few seconds. As a result, it became popular to quote and parody in reference to the film.[[/labelnote]]
12	*** Alternatively, [[{{Mondegreen}} "world to see" being interpreted as "worldussy"]], due to the concurrent online popularity of combining various words with "pussy", especially in the [[CampGay more flamboyant]] side of the gay community.
13	** "Skidee, Skidee, Skidee!" [[labelnote: Explanation]] An ad-libbed line when Pinocchio runs towards Tybalt after Gepetto lets him go to see the circus.[[/labelnote]]
14	** "Imma boy and I'm aLIIIIVE!" [[labelnote: Explanation]] [[IncomingHam Pinocchio's first line in the movie]] which is done in a hilariously overdone bellow as he flops around on the floor figuring out how to walk. [[/labelnote]]
15	** "Thank you DADDY! I knew you couldn't say no!" [[labelnote:Explanation]] Another line singled out for how CampGay it sounds. Pinocchio ends up sounding less like he's thanking his father for letting him see the world and more like he's thanking his sugar daddy for buying him a new Lexus. [[/labelnote]]
16	* OlderThanTheyThink: For anyone aware that the film is effectively a modified and renamed adaptation of ''Literature/TheGoldenKeyOrTheAdventuresOfBuratino'', this isn't the only time that the film adaptation of a story better known in Russia was released in the Western world under the name of a work more familiar in the West. The 1953 Soviet ''Film/{{Sadko}}'' was released in the U.S. as ''The Magic Voyage of Sinbad'', the title under which [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E05TheMagicVoyageOfSinbad it appeared on]] ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''. The only differences here is that ''Buratino'' was already a loose retelling of the Pinocchio story, and that the Russian version already labeled it as a Pinocchio retelling too!
17	* QuestionableCasting:
18	** Most people who watch the movie agree that Pauly Shore was severely miscast as Pinocchio. It's just a special kind of creepy to hear a man in his fifties try (and fail) to voice a character who's supposed to be around 11 (physically). Not helping matters is that he makes him sound like a combination of CampGay and TheStoner.
19	** Being an [[FatBastard overweight]], [[BeardOfEvil bearded]] RepulsiveRingmaster, you would expect BigBad Mangiafuoco to have a suitably [[EvilSoundsDeep deep, booming]] voice (akin to his [[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} Disney counterpart]]), but instead, he sounds like [[VocalDissonance a regular guy working at a convenience store]].
20	* SignatureScene:
21	** "Father, when can I leave to be on my ''oooooownnnn?'' I have the whole ''woooorld'' to see..." from the first trailer is what shot the movie into the stratosphere of memes in the first place due to Pinocchio's [[CampGay "Yassified"]] voice.
22	** If the above scene somehow didn't make it clear, then the later scene where Cat shoots Pinocchio basically hammers home just how insane the movie is.
23	* SoBadItsGood: The majority of western viewers watch this film solely to laugh at the mediocre animation, the out there plot and the comically bad voice acting of Pauly Shore.
24	* UnfortunateCharacterDesign: The Cat wears a white bag over his head when trying to rob Pinocchio and Tybalt, with his pointed ears sticking up underneath it. His resemblance to an early [[UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan Klansman]] has often been ridiculed in many reviews for the film.
25	* VanillaProtagonist: There really isn't much to Pinocchio in this movie. He's a talented horse rider and acrobat, but has no discernible personality aside from a generic desire to see the world (that gets forgotten as soon as he sees a pretty girl) and he utterly lacks his mischievous nature from the book, turning him from an interesting and flawed protagonist to a rather bland NiceGuy. Pinocchio's physical abilities and movements are likewise depicted as straightforward reproductions of a biological human's, relegating his nature as a puppet (which the film's narrative otherwise heavily underlines) to more of an InformedAttribute than scarcely influences his talents and perceptions or contextualizes his eventual transformation into a "real boy" by the film's conclusion, further cementing this rendition of Pinocchio as a generic broadly-ambitious teen protagonist.
26	* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent:
27	** One of the most...jarring elements of the film is Pauly Shore's accent as Pinocchio. Many have attempted and failed to figure out what kind of accent it is other than it being 'Pauly Shore's accent'.
28	** Lyusilda, the fairy, is even ''worse'' in that regard. Her accent seems to waver from [[SouthernBelle a southern drawl]] to [[AwesomeAussie Australian]] to [[BraveScot Scottish]], all of them done [[OohMeAccentsSlipping very badly]].
