[@gaminggoof1542]

Eh, I didn't mind the little romance. A little abrupt though

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

I think to her spoilet personality

[@johnalogue9832]

Easy way to write Pinocchio into sci-fi: A scientist spends his whole life building robots for a large corporation, to the point he's sacrificed his personal life and has no family. Too late in his life he realized he truly wants to have a son, so he makes an AI robot that can learn and act like a person. Unfortunately, his superiors notice his project and question the ethics and dangers of creating an artificial life, but they let him continue on the condition the robot behaves, otherwise it will not be allowed to use its full ability to adapt and learn so that it couldn't go Skynet on everyone...see? It wasn't so hard. Don't just copy-paste the Pinocchio story and change a few words, ADAPT it.

[@skootergirl22]

I do not know, but it kind of reminded me of the Astro boy movie a bit. That is what he was based on I think

[@NATE-op9tq]

Actually, the astro boy movie was pretty good, though the ending was a bit of a cop out.

[@MrKlausbaudelaire]

or... A tinkerer/scientist realized he was so entangled with his passion for mechanics that he never had a son until advance age, so he decided to build one. At the same time, a massive company is developing a new way to create synthetic bodyparts, eveyrthing that makes a body, project "blue fairy". But to test it well, they decide to make an AI to serve as a functional body "tester". Geppeto's is well renowed for his work, so when he is building Pinnochio, the company calls him to offer the chance of his pinnochio testing the synthetic body program. But to make it compatible, he needs to fully developt his "brain", so Geppeto makes a software that simplifies the development by simple emotional conections, and the hardest for Pinoccio to learn is honesty (maybe because it was the last to be programed and got less space on the drive). To help him, the company build a small robot called "cricket" to comunicate with Pinoccio at any distance and keep an eye on him. Strombolli could be a failed enginneer, the island where the kids are sent could maybe be a black market for organs as the synthetic organs were ruining the regular organ market and the huge whale could be a huge rogue AI that collects all trash as some kind of moving junkyard. And oh, maybe his nose could have been made of a spare part because Gepetto ran out of parts or such so he used a telescopic dookickey.

[@johnalogue9832]

...Why aren't we the ones making this stuff? Oh right. Money and resources.

[@GrandCorsair]

I've only watched anime series. I saw like the first few minutes of the CGI movie and lost interest. I'm pretty sure the original counts as scifi.

[@johnalogue9832]

I feel it's worth mentioning the CG in this movie isn't bad, but a lot of the character designs just make it look...awful. The colors just don't work, the faces get really uncanny...but I really feel like a lot of the visual discomfort this movie gives me is down to bad design and not technical limitations....

If that was the actual reason it would still be stupid, but for different reasons.

[@JoeyCannoli]

Does anyone else think Scamboli is basically a discount Eggman? They're both more or less egg-shaped, they're both geniuses, they both have an affinity for robotics, they both want to mechanize their homelands, they both had an evil scheme that involved an amusement park, and they both have two dimwitted robot minions.

[@FrenkTheJoy]

"What's the difference between a robot and a man?" makes more sense than what I thought it said - "What's the difference between a robot and a PLANT?"

[@alexjewett7455]

Either way, the answer is still "a lot".

[@clarabellem4097]

My theory on why the kids couldn't keep their free will: Adults are more secure in their personal identities, they know who they are and what they stand for, so it makes sense that a stronger mind would keep its free will when placed in a robot body. Kids don't know who they are yet, they're easier to control and convince of things, and they don't really know who they are yet. Their minds are weaker, less familiar with the world, and less intelligent.

[@johnalogue9832]

Golden lotus Dragons aren't very creative but they would definitely take up more RAM

[@goldenlotus3598]

[@SlapstickGenius23]

Isaac 1990 I’m sure that the Trollface might have infiltrated into kids films by the time P3000 got released.

[@TheNumnutRandomness]

I'm curious, did Scamboli ever actually scam anyone? He was giving out free tickets to kids and didn't try to turn them into robots until Pinocchio suggested it. Did he overcharge for popcorn, have a shoes fee, destroy trees to become the only producer of oxygen, what?

Personally I would have used Cyberman quotes, seeing how the kids were pretty much cyber-converted (upgraded). In fact, if they'd gone the Doctor Who route and have Scamboli become a bigger threat as a robot like John Lumic in Age of Steel, they could've had something relatively cool in this. "This is the Age of Steel and I am its creator."

[@moonkingdomify]

What the difference between a robot and a man? Well, we've created a robot that can feel both negative and positive emotions and will confront you if it feels like you've emotionally hurt it. It's name is Pepper. She may not look extremely human but it's the first step into free and critically thinking Artificial Intelligence. Originally designed with the idea of helping people with physical disabilities and the elderly function as a part of society she was more recently released to the public as a sort of robotic companion. We can only hope that this ends up like Chobits and not Fallout 4.

[@Bobsheaux]

+Ditto, Master of Disguise Yeah, that's.... kinda scary.... O_o

[@moonkingdomify]

Bobsheaux I know. It doesn't look too human yet but this is the first step. To either something like Chobits, which is good as it helps humanity. Or the matrix.

[@littleworldgames6569]

I want a real life codsworth

[@moonkingdomify]

LittleWorld Games I mean't synths, not Mr. Handy Units. As much as it seems like Codsworth has his own mind he's probably just programmed to not do anything illegal, even if ordered to by his master. So if you get to his lowest relationship rating I would be inclined to say that it's just what his programming is telling him to do. A synth on the other hand is a synthetic human, they think they are the human they once were with Nick being one of the first free thinking synths in existence. So they could turn out like Nick, or they could turn out like McDonoug.

[@SlapstickGenius23]

But then the future isn’t going to be anthropomorphic in anytime soon. So instead the computers and chatbots have largely replaced human robots as artificial companions now.

A bit late, but honestly, I think Pinocchio could work as a sci-fi story by making one detail clear: Pinocchio himself is still a wooden puppet. Think about it; a world dominated by corporations mass producing everything with no creative flair, while Gepetto is an independent artist who never had the means to start a family of his own. Give the story themes of how children don't have much room to be children anymore (things like very few child-centered spaces, marketing pushing kids to grow up quicker, etc.) It can be done; just.... not with Pinocchio 3000

I imagine cyberina as a scientist friends with gepetto, and offers to help making Pinocchio "human" by using futuristic biology science stuff; but she needs to be sure that Pinocchio knows about things like morals and right and wrong so nobody is going after her or gepetto if Pinocchio does something wrong. But what do I know? I'm just a random comment

Even though Disney already MADE a Treasure Island movie. Then a Muppet version.

I'm talking about the Treasure Planet part.

I remember seeing this years ago, and already back then I thought it was crap. The sentient house remained in my long-term memory.

Wanna know what's weird? I've seen this concept done right before. It was called something like "Adventures of Androcchio" (sorry couldn't find footage). It was a short italian comic made into a sort of motion comic that was incorporated into a morning kids program that aired on tv in the 90s here. It wasn't so much in the future as this but was about an inventor who finds an alien device he uses as a power source to build a robot boy and the rest of the story is much closer to the original (the book, it had stuff like the money tree and other stuff missing from the disney version). This is a prime example that something doesn't need a better company attached to it, it just needs better people.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Kikaider. Specifically, the anime, Android Kikaider: The Animation. There are references to the original tale everywhere without adding unnecessary characters (For example, Jiro's conscience chip is called the "Gemini circuit", a pun on Jiminy's name.) The animation is beautiful, the story is tragic, and several parts of it make sense. See, most robots in this universe have a single objective, and will do it regardless of right and wrong. Not to mention they're all monsters. Jiro, however, has a morality chip that helps him distinguish right from wrong, but it's incomplete so the villain can pretty much paralyze him by playing his badass flute. Also, Jiro can change between a human form and the titular Kikaider, which helps reflect the fact that he really, really wants to be a human, but he ultimately can't despite looking like one. This... Tends to be a theme in Shotaro Ishinomori's works and works directly based off of them (Robot or cyborg looks human, but fears being ostracized if their peers find out.) Finally, Kikaider's name makes sense (As the word "Kikai" is Japanese for "machine.") tl;dr, Android Kikaider: The Animation did this sort of thing (Albeit in a more modern setting) and it did it *right.* Just bring tissues when you watch the 4-episode OVA sequel. Also, in the Japanese version, Jiro is voiced by Domon, and in the English version he's voiced by Kakashi.
