The follow-up to 2007’s Enchanted is the kind of middling Disney sequel you often expect from the studio outside of its Pixar theatrical properties.

However, Disney (in all its wisdom) has chosen Pinocchio for the latest “live-action” adaption of one of their classic animated films (featuring multiple CGI characters, of course). The results are a longer running time, an unnecessary backstory for Geppetto (Tom Hanks) that never leads anywhere, and far less magic.
