''Pinocchio 3000'' (or ''[=P3K=], Pinocchio the Robot'') is a 2004 Canadian-French-Spanish computer-animated film by Christal Films.

It is a science fiction re-imagination of the classic story ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio''. The movie is set in Scamboville, a city with futuristic feel that is governed by Scamboli. In this version of the tale, Pinocchio is a robot who is brought to life by tapping into a city's power surge as a parallel to to original tale where he's a puppet animated by magic.

Pinocchio tries to fit among humans and wants to live with them despite having various difficulties. He's frustrated with people, but eventually he overcomes his struggles. Most of the story bits, elements and characters have been re-tooled in some other forms.

!! This movie provides examples of:
* ActorAllusion: After [[spoiler:Pinocchio becomes a real boy]], Cyberina says "Who were you expecting? The Tooth Fairy?" Just like [[WesternAnimation/ThePagemaster another fairy-type character]] voiced by Creator/WhoopiGoldberg.
* ChildHater: Scamboli quickly gains a hatred of children for not playing at his amusement park.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Scamboli starts off as a merely JerkAss but escalates [[spoiler: subjecting the kids that didn't want to go to his amusement park to UnwillingRoboticisation and trying to kill the protagonists for trying to stop him.]]

* EvilOverlooker: The poster above has Scamboli looking down on Pinocchio and everyone else with a sinister grin.
* {{Expy}}: Scamboli seems to be one for the Coachman in the [[Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio original story]]. He creates a place for amusement for children (a la PleasureIsland). [[spoiler: Similar to how the Coachman turns kids into donkeys, Scamboli turns kids into robots.]]
** Scamboli's BumblingHenchmenDuo appear to based on the Fox and the Cat since they convince Pinocchio to skip school and work for the villain they work for.
