now it may be a classic, but i'm afraid i was really disappointed with this film. my 5 yr old was frankly bored watching this, it was very slow to get moving. the story line was not what i was expecting. the jimmney cricket / conscience was to abstract for him to understand in the way it was presented. and there was a terrible bit later on with pinnochio getting drunk and smoking cigars. that bit raised a few tricky questions.
what i had expected the main story line to be - pinnochio's nose growing long when he lied, occured only once for about 20 seconds in the middle of the film and never again.
we will not be watching this one again
sadly not enjoyable or educational

What neither of the above reviews mentions is how incredibly funny Detour is ... it had me howling with laughter. Admittedly, a glass or two of wine helped. As for the ending? Aw, come on guys, the title's Detour and what better end-of-the-line for the end-of-the-road villainess? I'm still shopping for a copy of my own - roll on, region 2. Can't wait.
