Pinocchio is officially rated PG. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 7+.

This live-action reimagining of the classic tale follows Geppetto, a lonely woodcarver who creates a puppet named Pinocchio that magically comes to life. The film is rated PG for peril, rude material, and mild language. Families should be aware of scenes involving magical transformations, intense giant sea monster…

Contains very mild, fleeting moments of suggestive humor, including a wooden puppet briefly exposing its bottom while dancing and a character accidentally touching a wooden figure's bottom.

Features mild, slapstick-style action typical of a fairy tale adventure. There is some peril involving a giant sea monster and chase scenes, but the violence remains non-graphic and cartoonish.

Includes mild, infrequent language such as 'jackass,' 'bollocks,' 'hell,' and 'bleeding,' which are used in a non-aggressive, story-driven context.

There are brief, mild references to smoking and substance-related imagery consistent with the original story’s tone, depicted primarily through the Coachman’s behavior and the atmosphere of Pleasure Island.

The story deals with themes of abandonment, grief over a lost child, and the pressure to conform, which provide emotional weight to the narrative. There is also an undercurrent of peril regarding the exploitation of children.

Pinocchio runs 105 minutes, directed by Robert Zemeckis, released in 2022.
