Courtesy of Raindance Barging through the doors of the Poohniverse nose-first, Pinocchio has officially come to the company of Winnie the Pooh, Bambi and Peter Pan with Rhys Frake-Waterfield’s “Pinocchio Unstrung.” The latest addition to the ever-growing roster of twisted takes on childhood icons, which started with 2023’s “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey,” sees Carlo Collodi’s classic puppet taking his dreams of being a boy a step too far…
The fifth entry on the expanding Poohniverse, also known as the Twisted Childhood Universe, “Pinocchio Unstrung” first finds young boy James grieving the loss of a dear childhood friend. Seeing his grandson suffer, Geppetto (Richard Brake) gifts him a new companion, the titular puppet. Soon, Pinocchio – under the influence of a sinister Cricket (Robert Englund) — goes on a killing rampage to free James from everyone evil around him, and becoming a real boy in the process — one piece at a time.
