pi 0 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Why did he include it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 It's a theme that is played out from the begining when Neary asks his family if they want to go see Pinocchio or play goofy golf.It probably is a play on the child inside of Neary, his goal to realize why he is having his visions after the UFO encounter. The film ends with his dreams coming true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 And its Spielberg favotire cartoon movie (or not?) that's why it has a relation to the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I believe it was mentioned that listening to the song was one of Spielberg's possible inspirations for the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Takis 206 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 One cut of the film (the Special Edition, I think) has Roy trying to convince his kids to go see Disney's Pinocchio. Another (the Theatrical, I think) has him staring wistfully at a Pinocchio toy that plays "When You Wish Upon A Star". The whole "dreamers staring out into space" theme is kind of obvious, I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 75 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I always thought it was to tie-in with Roy realizing his dream, and of course the connection between stars and the aliens/space.A.I. is enough evidence that Spielberg likes Pinocchio.
