Welcome Back Pinocchio (original title Bentornato Pinocchio) is a 2007 animated movie made by Mondo TV as a sort of sequel to The Adventures of Pinocchio.Pinocchio, now a real child, gets stuck in a large mess when he's tricked to steal money from the school he frequents and ends up returning to his old puppet form. He starts a journey to search the Blue Fairy (who earlier came to Geppetto to tell him she's going away for a while, but he forgot to inform Pinocchio) and ultimately ends up Saving Christmas.See also Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night, an earlier animated film that also serves as a sequel to the original story.

 Welcome Back Pinocchio / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: Happens twice in the movie: Early on, the Blue Fairy visits Geppetto to tell him that she's going away for a while and that Pinocchio may turn back into a puppet if he misbehaves. He then forgets to tell Pinocchio anything of that. When Pinocchio arrives to a carnival, he tries to get help from a clairvoyer to discover where the Blue Fairy is. She initially refuses to help him since he can't pay for her service, but then she sees the Coachman's face in her Crystal Ball and tries to call Pinocchio back to alert him of her vision... but he's too distant and can't hear her.

Anachronism Stew
 Welcome Back Pinocchio / int_259d5879
comment
Anachronism Stew: One of the new characters introduced in the movie is a robot, which is very out of place in a (supposedly) late 1800s setting. Subverted in that intelligent androids did already appear in fiction made around this time, with The Future Eve being released only three years after the original Pinocchio novel. The word "robot" still counts however, as it was only introduced in 1921.

Voodoo Shark: The explanation about how Pinocchio is destined to turn back into a puppet and later a donkey when misbehaving states that the Coachman cursed him when he went to the Land of Toys for the first time, a detail that was never stated in the original story or in any other adaptation of it.

Saving Christmas: The Coachman, alongside the Cat, the Fox and his two new henchmen Robot and Harlequin, decide to kidnap Santa Claus in order to use his sleigh and costume to commit frauds and turn his elves into their servants. Why? To show that they're evil. Pinocchio gets caught into one of the aforemented frauds, turns back into a puppet and later on decides to go to the North Pole to save Santa after discovering the whole truth.

Too Dumb to Live
 Welcome Back Pinocchio / int_b58b4e3c
comment
Too Dumb to Live: You'd think Pinocchio would've learned that the Land of Toys is an Amusement Park of Doom after what he went through in the original story. You'd think he'd recognize the very same Coachman that lured him there the first time. You'd think some red flags would be raised when the Coachman goes on a rant about how much the Blue Fairy annoys him for getting in the way, but no, Pinocchio happily hops aboard after the villain claims that he'll find the Blue Fairy there.

Aesop Amnesia: Despite the Transformation Trauma both he and Lampwick suffered the first time they visited The Land of Toys in the book, and even witnessing Lampwick dying as an overworked donkey, in this sequel Pinocchio is easily lured into returning there and gets transformed again. He apparently doesn't even recognize the Coachman and blindly trusts him.

Unexplained Recovery: In the original story, the Fox and the Cat ended up getting the handicaps they pretended to have in Pinocchio's presence to deceive him, and the Fox also had to cut off and sell his own tail for food money due to them becoming extremely poor. In this sequel, they're both healthy and the Fox still has his tail.

Lost in Imitation: The look of the Talking Cricket in this film is clearly designed after Disney's Jiminy Cricket. The Blue Fairy is also depicted being blonde and using a magic wand. Pinocchio's design is a mishmash of his two anime adaptations: the body proportions and the circled eyes are taken from Mokku of the Oak Tree, but the mop hair and hat are based on the Piccolino no Bouken design.
