Title: Touching and warm family drama
Product review: Another of those films that is too long at 2-1/2 hours but which is warm and touching. It's a variation on the PINOCCHIO story with a futuristic robot yearning to become human and who succeeds in that endeavor only to see those he loves die from generation to generation. It's a treatise on what it is to be human and how love actually works and is rather a lovely little film. If it could have been edited down to even a two hour running time it might have worked better. The Academy Oscar nommed it for Make-up but it also deserved nods for Costume Design, Sound Effects and Score - all quite exceptional. A nice movie for the whole family.
