How Pinocchio Could Have Been Creepier (Disney)

[@RoninCatholic]

"He starts being unfairly pinned for crimes he's not doing now that he's trying to change his ways" is in fact the most realistic part of his arc, and probably the most important part of the lessons of the story to demonstrate.

[@Feve5]

TL;DR: Pinocchio is a black man in America.

[@laurencourtice2803]

I mean for the theft one, he had to admit to his non existent crime and did and his nose didn't grow so he must've done something

[@MariuigiKhed]

It's kinda a nod to Collodi's past: he was a satiric journalist, he loved to poke fun at the higher ups of his society: this scene is basically saying "all the innocents are screwed up by a justice system controlled by ANIMALS, while the real criminals still get away scot-free" almost 150 years later... NOTHING CHANGED.

[@persephonethebookdragon9520]

That's what I've Been saying! The Live Action Remakes would be SO Much Better if they used the OG Source Material. Like, show us Cinderella's Stepsister cutting off parts of their feet so they can wear the slipper, show me at 3 of Evil Queens murder attempts on Snow White, show us Rapunzel wandering in the desert, waiting for her prince!

[@MariuigiKhed]

The more I'm listening the more I feel to understand why you non-Italians are afraid of this story: it's not well adapted in English. Poor Collodi, he's the inventor of adapting from a language to another. The "wicked eyes", for instance, is actually something on the line "naughty eyes". It's "Occhiacci" which is "eyes" + a derogatory suffix. It's nothing, really. He's just asking "Stop staring, you're distracting me". And about Pleasure Island, it's actually "Land of Toys" = "Paese dei Balocchi". "Boobie" was a very obscure translation, so much as "balocco" is a very old and obscure term for "giocattolo" (toy) in Italian

[@mistingwolf]

I would really like an updated translation, especially since English has changed a lot since the old translations were done. A good example is what you pointed out: booby is not used now as it was then (plural; boobies) as when this story was translated, booby meant "an awkward foolish person" (which could even be translated as Dummy if you want a pun). But Land of Toys still sounds much nicer than Land of Dummies.

[@cramerfloro5936]

Admittively, the way Pinocchio turns human in the book is a bit weird, but I love how the 1972 miniseries implemented it. Since it was in live-action, they had to understand how to depict a living puppet, but since in the book it's barely ever aknowledged, they came up with thus: Pinocchio starts off as real puppet, who can move a little bit, but during the first night the Fairy (who's really Geppeto's deceased wife who came back to grant him his wish to be a parent), turns him into a real boy, on the condition that he behave. Thus during the episodes Pinocchio switches between being played by a child actor and returning to his puppet form (especially in scenes where you wouldn't want a child to be involved, like the hanging). So when in the end you see Pinocchio standing next to the real puppet, you know that he's finally gonna be a real boy for good!

[@mr.duck1246]

I think his character is originally a bit of a rebellious troublemaker, that learns the consequences of his actions and becomes good. The Disney Pinocchio on the other hand is just very naive and kinda learns how the world actually works. The lesson is mostly “don’t be so gullible”

Yeah, I remember reading OG Pinocchio and it was completely insane. One interesting little bit of trivia I remember from the version I read was that ol' Fire Eater sneezed instead of crying when Pinocchio and the other puppets begged for him not to be burned.

I can't remember if the original author hated kids, viewing them as nothing more than a bunch of spoiled brats that had to be civilized, but I do know that at the ending of part one, where Pinocchio died by hanging, that was supposed to be the canonical ending. It was only after his book got famous, and after people kept encouraging him to do so, that he finally wrote a sequel to it.

Movie where Pinochio is shot and the magic liquid drips from the holes is from 1996 "Adventures of Pinocchio", where the puppet theater owner and coachman of Pleasure Island are the same person, and his dropped into the magic water, which turns him into the sea monster that eats Gepetto and Pinocchio.

the thing about his wood-body - he was already in the wood Geppetto got, and needed to be Carved-out, then was under the donkey skin and flesh AND his he real boy but his puppet body still there... it smake me think of this like this: - he was left a real boy, that let his body in astral form but got stuck inside a tree, but able to shape the inside of the branch to an vaguely human-form, and the traumatic experience cause him amnesia. - another "pseudo-sci" idea, is that he was left in an opening inside the tree, and the tree grow on him, fusing with his skin, and the "became a man by being good", its actually attempt to help him to keep the psychological link to his humanity, the one the his plant-DNA try to suppress, drive him to his "Dionysian" side of the mind.

Also, also, if anyone likes dnd, Dimension 20's newest campaign is horror themed called Neverafter and the players are fairy tale characters. I like the way Lou, who is playing Pinocchio unleashes some chaos. I think there are episodes out on youtube now.

[@autumnmccullough8187]

Gapetto might have so much anger and other negative emotions that it poured into Pinocchio as he was carving him. Thats why a many fairy helps are interested in Pinocchio.

[@Poldovico]

For context, calling someone a donkey in Italian is a common way to call them ignorant, or just plain stupid, so it may be less that the Cricket's admonishment is foreshadowing, and more that the later transformation is dramatic irony by making our donkey of a puppet into the literal equivalent. The idea of a "dunce cap" in Italy similarly involves donkey imagery, so it fits quite well with the themes of Pinocchio. I'm not certain of this, but I imagine calling someone an "ass" in English may have similar origins, rather than being a reference to hindquarters.

[@lsmmoore1]

Speaking of Pinocchio adaptations, the anime Magi is a good one. Specifically the story arcs of the characters Aladdin and Titus. Aladdin gets most of the OG Pinocchio's story arc, with "Geppetto" in this instance being a teenage prince, Alibaba, who starts out having a sort of "Prince and the Pauper" arc which does not give the happy ending the original Prince and the Pauper did, but instead the "pauper", Cassim, is beyond saving and Alibaba later starts a democracy in his home country, throwing himself into that work to distract himself from his inability to save the "pauper". Throughout this, though, Aladdin goes through a sort of "Blue Fairy" arc, an almost-dying arc, a Pleasure Island/Monstro the whale arc, a Pleasure Island/having to work hard to earn his way arc, and later he meets a character named Titus who is a lot like the OG Pinocchio, with his most important trait being he is literally a puppet. But not a puppet made of wood. A body puppet who can have his control over his body yanked from him at any minute by the most actually Blue-Fairy-like character in the story, the Magi Scheherazade (named after the Arabian Nights storyteller, but she's really more like a fairy/god of Rome). And this culminates in all these characters (and others whose plots are less relevant to the Pinocchio part of the story) coming together to save the world from an evil organization who uses magic to destroy all societal progress and in the process may very well end up literally destroying the world using a vaguely Cthulhu-like device they conjured.

If you haven't played American McGee's Grim, I think you should have a looksee! Because their version of Pinocchio wasn't wrong! And them making said puppet boy a killer was kinda spot on! And the scenes in that game were funny to be honest! But yes, this is all true with some of the tellings of Pinocchio, including the killing of the cricket (Who name was never Jimminy btw), being turned into a donkey and the fate of the blue fairy. It's also worth mentioning that in a couple versions of the story, Pinocchio and his dad remain in the belly of the sea creature, and Lampwick's fate is either left unknown or has him killed off in the form of "Remained as a donkey and either died of old age or from being overworked). I mean HECK, we NEVER got to know what happened to both Lampwick OR the boys/children that were turned into donkeys on Pleasure Island! Did they remain as donkeys for the rest of their lives, or did the Blue Fairy give them mercy and turned them back into human boys and sent them back home to their families? Sadly, we'll never know. And unless Disney Studios makes a sequel of the Pinocchio movie, that's a one in a million chance or just straight up never. (And we ALL know how fans of the original movies feel about some of the Disney Sequels in the 2000's). And to answer abitfrank's question: Is the story of Pinocchio all over the place? Yes, in a way. It's either a hit or miss for some movies, or a like or dislike for the fans. In my personal opinion, I've only seen a minor amount of Pinocchio movies. The ONLY ones I recall seeing are Disney's version of Pinocchio, and the Pinocchio movie with Drew Carey as Geppetto. Every other version of the movie I have either never heard, never seen or never seen due to bad reviews. (Disney's live action version being one of them sadly.) Which version do I like the best? Disney's of course. While there were some plots of the story that were left unaswered, I felt that the story itself kinda stayed true to the original versions of the book stories, but was written in a way that doesn't completely give fans any nightmares (Unfortunately, the donkey transformation scene is ONE of those nightmare fuel scenes.). At least in ONE of the movie versions of Pinocchio, Lampwick was not only turned back into a boy, but also went back to his family. If Disney ever thinks about doing another remake of Pinocchio, I honestly hope that the Lampwick in that version gets a decent redemption and a better ending than the past versions. But no matter what version of Pinocchio everybody likes, I do hope they enjoy both the original story and movie forms of Pinocchio and find out for themselves which ones they love the most.

It’s just like the new Pinocchio on Netflix but instead of fun land the soldier takes the wooden boy to a place where little boys his age learn to become soldiers and serve there country Italy. Also in the beginning Geppetto appears to have a little boy of his own named Carl but was soon killed by a nuclear bomb that was launched at the church. All though Pinocchio had a little bit a bratness in him his was kind. In the Netflix story there is no blue fairy. And the cricket gets squished numerous of times but remains alive. And while Pinocchio was being trained to fight in the Great War the soldier commanded his son to shoot the puppet and clocks the gun and hands it to his son (which is none other than candlewick) and the soldier calls Pinocchio to stand with the gun pointed to his head the soldiers son was not brave enough to pull the trigger. So the soldier starts chasing Pinocchio around the battlefield with a gun trying to aim for Pinocchio but fails and dies of being burned alive. And at the end of Pinocchio Geppetto dies along with the cricket.

I gotta be honest, I never understood how being hung by the neck could kill Pinocchio as Carlo Collodi had originally intended.

I could listen to your voice for hours on end you're so good it's almost like ASMR. I hope this comment doesn't come across as creepy, or would that be a compliment? Considering the content of your channel and all?

You should watch the movie Ink. I think it would be a great film to break down here!

"Unit of a cricket" is never something I guessed I'd here. 😂

This was so macabre and fascinating.

Everything about the original was better than the Disney version....having the main character start off unlikable is good in finding out how to decent story.

I'm not sure if you've heard this before, but have you considered trying out making ASMR videos? Your voice is so beautifully soft and gentle, you could literally talk about anything and take away the stress! I LOVE your informative videos and hope to find more! Merry Christmas! ^^

personally the Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi is one of my favourite stories
