Just what I was thinking. He's not intimidating enough:

Yeah, just LOOKING at the animated version is frightening enough... :|

You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!

You know...seriously, the amount of times I use the phrase "You've had your fun...now PAY FOR IT!", especially this past year in relation to stupid people who keep doing things through a freakin' pandemic...!

When he can even cause Honest John to think he's gotten in over his head:

Tons of casting news: Cynthia Erivo as the Blue Fairy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Jiminy Cricket,
Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Pinocchio, Keegan-Michael Key as Honest John and Lorraine Bracco as Sofia the Seagull.

(Yes, the Seagull. I'm hoping it's the one from the book that drops a message, and not something Disney thought would be "funny" for the whale/ocean scenes.)

Bit of a shame they didn’t get a blue person to play the Blue Fairy.

Or an actual cricket to play Jiminy. :(

Luke Evans on the Coachman:
D23 wrote:Thankfully, he [live-action Coachman] looks nothing like the character in the animation. In the mind of Bob Zemeckis [Pinocchio], you can imagine, the things are not going to be the same as they were in the animation. They’re very good. The storyline is very, very similar. But there were certain characters that Bob was able to, you know, dramatically enhance and the coachman is one of those. I get to use all my musical theater, experience and skills in this character. I can’t tell you too much because I want it to be a surprise. But there are some really wonderful gifts that he gave me as an actor with the character. You see a coachman in many different ways. I don’t want to give any more than that. But he isn’t just the average human being if that means anything to you. He’s a very unusual creature is rather terrifying. I mean, if you think Gaston is scary, wait 'til you meet Coachman.

Weirdly looks a little unbalanced.

After check: yep, it is. Needs to turn a degree or two clockwise so as to not be so left drooping. Curse my eye for detail!
