My aunt said the same thing when we saw this movie. Had it been about mental illness, and this is a grown man who had gone through something very traumatic as a child, and this is how he disassociates from reality, it could have been something different and creative. This was just creepy.

[@daliborjovanovic510]

Pinocchio trying to kill the Cricket here is actually worse. Sure, he doesn’t succeed, but in the original, he just threw a mallet at the Cricket without much thought, hoping to scare him off, but his aim proved more accurate than he thought. Here though, he’s actively trying to kill him.

[@BugsyFoga]

Before there was a bizarre Pinocchio dub with Pauly Shore, there was one with freaking Breckin Meyer.

[@ElaMongrella]

The book originally ended with Pinocchio hung on that tree and dying. It was supposed to be one of those "lessons" for kids to behave, or they would end up like him. But people didn't like this ending, so the author went back and had the blue fairy save him, and continued the story.

[@cakedUraniumMuffin]

I know I can search Google, but didn’t the author dislike children (specifically boys due to their horrid behavior)?

[@daliborjovanovic510]

Roberto Benigni was clearly very passionate about Pinocchio and you can see the seeds of a good adaption here. But good movies are usually a collaborative effort, and unfortunately, much like with Mike Myers’ Love Guru and similar ill-conceived vanity projects, Benigni was surrounded by yes-men who went along with and enabled whatever radical, counterintuitive idea he had, like deciding that he should play Pinocchio himself while pushing 50 XD I'd say Benigni should have played Geppetto instead but he wound up doing that nearly 20 years later in Matteo Garrone's Pinocchio, which did receive better reviews from what I hear, so good for him.

[@GhostofGomezDawkins]

The comparison of the Love Guru and this movie is spot on, good call lol.

[@Kylopod]

I haven't seen the film, but I did read the original novel as an adult some years ago, and let me tell you, it is a truly baffling work. I recognized some of the things they mentioned in this video: I remember the gorilla judge, I remember Pinocchio getting lynched, I remember him killing the talking cricket then it coming back to haunt him as a ghost. Beyond all that, the story isn't even coherent on its own terms. For example, the book describes Gepetto creating Pinocchio and how he comes to life and starts talking. His being able to walk and talk from literally his first moments of existence is weird enough. But then it has him get up and instantly run out of the house, and he spends the first chunk of the novel as a runaway wandering the outside world. Then he starts to become homesick and it says he misses Gepetto--this despite the fact that the novel indicated he'd had absolutely no relationship with him, they were effectively strangers! I know it's a kid's book, I know it's from the 19th century, I know it's from a different country. There must be some cultural context that was just lost. And it makes you better appreciate what Disney was able to do in making this very strange story accessible to American audiences, including generations of kids.

[@Da1Dez]

Not sure which is worst but I'd say in terms of the best: Disney's 1940 version is the best overall in terms of adaptation to the screen. However, if you want to know which is the best version that's close to the book storyline check out the 1978 version. It's animated and rarely gets mentioned and many don't know it even exists. The full movie is here on KZbin in English.

In Italy Roberto Benigni is a very well known comedian. Back in the '80 and the '90 he has acted and directed some very funny movies ("There is nothing left but crying" is one of his best). And yes, he has always been totally crazy on italian TV, I would say in a "surrealistic" way. And people loved it. "Life is beautiful" was his first "serious" movie, with a serious subject. From than on he became less of a comedian/director and more of a lecturer. He is more known for reciting and explaining Dante's Divine Comedy now. In Italy people consider "Le avventure di Pinocchio", a TV series by director Comencini, the best adaptation ever of the story.

I remember seeing this movie once in elementary school (it was the subbed version) and recalled the Fox and the Cat being presented as regular human hobos who just call themselves “Fox” and “Cat”. That’s some Mandela effect right there, because I was shocked to see that they actually looked like rejects from 1996’s The Island of Dr. Moreau XD It was even more shocking to learn that in the English dub, Fox is played by Cheech Marin, who oddly enough, offers one of the better performances in this, along with Kevin James as Mangiafuoco.

[@StoicVeR]

I remember seeing the trailer for this Pinocchio and wondering... wtf? Just a grown ass man pretending to be a child. That's it. Not even a puppet. Just an adult man. This can't compete with the 1996 version. Not even the new Disney shameless reprint and recolor can't hold a candle to the 1996 'nightmare' fuel, people refer to it as.

[@JeonardShadby505]

I don't even mean it as a joke when I say the new Pinocchio movie made me appreciate the Benigni version. As tedious and silly as it is, the 2002 version was clearly made for love of the material, while the 2022 version is only made for love of money.

It is interesting that as bad as this film is, it did try to be more accurate to the source material. Also, this is just a nitpick of mine but with all the dozens of Pinocchio films out there you would think they would use a different title in order to stand out. The same thing goes for Cinderella, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and many others.

Yeah. Spider-Man can have many reboots and they all aren't just called "Spider-Man," they have a subtitle or something to add into it like "The Amazing Spider-Man" or "Spider-Man: Homecoming" or "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" the 2014 TMNT movie was originally intended to be called just "Ninja Turtles" but fans complained they weren't gonna be teenagers and thought they were still aliens, leading to the title to be so unimaginative.

[@orionhan2431]

i think i heard someone say this is actually the most accurate to the original book [minus the crazy person playing a child]

[@Obsidian451]

I've never seen it, but apparently the original Italian version of this film is considerably better than the English recut and dub--still not particularly good, but way more bearable, and as Martin and Korey mention in this video, it's still a closer adaptation of the source material. Also, as disastrous as this movie was, I'd still recommend some of Benigni's other comedies, especially "Johnny Stecchino" and "The Monster," if you're looking for a good slapstick/mistaken identity movie that's a little bit different. Benigni's output may be inconsistent, but he really did hit on a solid formula in the 80s and 90s.

[@daliborjovanovic510]

I've watched the original version with subs. It's pretty much the same thing minus a lackluster dub that doesn't match the lipflaps, most of the issues people take with the story, comedy, acting, and casting are still there.

[@michelerusso9745]

I never actually understood the fuss about pinocchio being played by an adult. This movie clearly adopts a more theater like approach, as in if the movie tells you that something is a certain thing, you have to believe it. So if, according to the reality of the movie, he is a wooden boy, you have to pretend you're indeed watching a wooden boy, the same way the fox and the cat are simple human beings and every other kid is played by an adult

[@daliborjovanovic510]

I didn't know theater plays had giant CGI sharks or men placed against greenscreens so they can look as tiny as a Cricket. This movie doesn't present itself like a theater play, that's the problem. If they had fully committed to that aesthetic and framed the cinematography and set designs as such, then more power to them, but that's not the case here, or if it was, they didn't fully commit to it.

[@michelerusso9745]

@@daliborjovanovic510 i feel like they committed to it as far as they could, the set itself is very fake and it never feels like a real town, and I think it was on purpose seing how much the movie cost.
