It’s incredibly convenient he was brought back to life as a little boy who doesn’t remember anything. This is probably the best digital effect we’ve seen on the series. Everything held up even when viewing just a side profile of his face. His movements were fluid you can tell they put a lot of thought into how he would move. The character was more lifelike than you would imagine – even his eyes were expressive (and a little creepy). Jokes about wood not withstanding, the effects on August were surprisingly good. His return to the show was brief but pivotal to the story he was the connection who showed us Neal’s fiancée's true colors. He sent the postcard to Neal when the curse broke but then he disappeared. Last night’s Once finally revealed what happened to August/Pinocchio.
