#21: Pinocchio (2022)
Director Robert Zemeckis used digital technology to recreate Pinocchio, the 1940 animated masterpiece, for a streaming release in September 2022. Tom Hanks starred as Geppetto, but the film felt completely empty due to the presence of the lifeless digital characters. The movie copied original scenes shot-for-shot but lacked the emotional weight and dark atmosphere that made the original cartoon so impactful. Audiences found the new musical numbers completely forgettable and wondered why the studio remade it at all.
