Pinocchio: A True Story
Pinocchio: A True Story (Russian: Пиноккио. Правдивая история, Pinokkio. Pravdivaya istoriya) is a 2021 Russian animated film directed by Vasiliy Rovenskiy and adapted from The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi. The film was released in Russia on February 17, 2022. The U.S. release of the English dub was released by Lionsgate Films and features the voices of Pauly Shore, Jon Heder, and Tom Kenny. The dub became a prominent Internet meme when a clip from the trailer with Pinocchio saying "Father, when can I leave to be on my own? I've got the whole world to see." was shared by Canadian animation critic Mat Brunet. Plot 
Pinocchio, accompanied by the horse Tybalt, runs away from his genius creator Gepetto to see the world and joins a travelling circus run by the hustler Mangiafuoco. Cast

Reception 
Common Sense Media said that "There's also just enough humor and intrigue that the adults in the room might be able to tolerate yet another Pinocchio story. Though there are lessons of following your dreams and sticking up for friends, they aren't as obvious as they might be in other children's movies. There are many bread crumbs spread throughout the film that come together in the serendipitous conclusion (so much so that it might just have viewers wanting to start it over to watch again)."
