- This is a movie that covers a span of 200 years in which nothing very interesting happens, although the time does provide scope for one of Williams's more simpering performances.

  There is not a bad thing that I can say about this movie! The cast is excellent, the plotline is though provoking, humorous but at the same time moving.

  A re-working of Pinocchio or the tin man from the Wizard of Oz. Charming film. Delightful performance from Robin Williams.
