What is your favorite (written) fairy tale of all time?

[@tinahastie]

Enid Blyton's The Magic Faraway Tree & The Folk of the Faraway Tree. I have so many happy childhood memories of my Mom reading it to my brother, sister and I before bedtime. Nearly every night we were transported to this exciting, enchanting, funny and magical world! Those books have a special place in my heart. I now read them to the children in my class. It's one of the few stories where they are sitting still and completely absorbed in the story. 🥰🌳🧚

[@lizan2678]

The Six Swans

[@willlyon7129]

Some of the unsung stories that a lot are not well known.

[@morcellemorcelle618]

HC Andersens The little mermaid

[@oliviarogers2808]

I don't have a favorite fairytale, but a Kiss in Time is a fairytale adaptation I really like. If I HAD to pick a favorite fairytale, probably Rapunzel.

[@DanGamingFan2846]

It's weird how we got three Pinocchio movies in the same year. However, there's no doubt that this is the best, most creative, and best animated one.

[@pinkishhaven5158]

yeah lol 2022 will be memorable fr that one😆

[@aliaj98]

It being stop motion alone puts it up there for me

[@ivanelugo]

And then, in the same year, it was Pinocchio who makes Jack Horner becomes a magic collector Kingpin

[@emilykearns3155]

Makes me wonder if they’ll make a steampunk Cinderella

[@Varies16]

​​​@@emilykearns3155What's funny is that it esists recently a steampunk videogame of Pinocchio. It's called "Lies of P". It will come out this September, and it looks very interesting.

[@roo1014]

*Fun Fact:* This movie's musical producer, Alexandre Desplat, made sure that the soundtrack consisted only of wooden instruments to stay true to the Pinocchio theme.

[@AM59342]

Desplat is one of the greatest, he always comes through to shine above the rest in movies 😭 him and Howard shore and very close though, at least to me 🤍

[@Cr1ticA]

That's so cool.

[@nicolasbaron4506]

To say Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio is a masterpiece is a huge understatement. A perfect example as to why animation is a medium, and not just a genre.

[@EChacon]

Couldn't agree more, Guillermo himself said it perfectly regarding Animation following the film's win at the Golden Globes, BAFTA, and Oscars respectively: Animation is *NOT* a Genre, it is a Medium, an Artform, and especially Cinema. So I applaud Mr. Del Toro for saying it out loud during the presentation following the film's win especially at the 2023 Oscars after Halle Bailey (Ariel), Lilly James (Cinderella) and Naomi Scott (Jasmine) who were the presenters for last year’s Best Animated feature called Animation a "Genre for Children".

[@georgeeastwood6930]

I definately agree with you! It’s a medium, NOT a genre!

[@d3thl0cke64]

A dream that he had wanted to bring to reality for almost 15 years. I would LOVE to see another claymation film from Del Toro, but I don't know what he could do next...

[@birdbeep1s947]

without fail, the final line always hits me the hardest. "What happens, happens. And then, we die." all we can do is make the most of life while we live in it. it sounds so cliche, but i think that's because it's so raw and true.

[@EditorHarlequin]

I'm Mexican and Guillermo del Toro is a jewel for our country. Like Tim Burton for the US and the rest of the world.

[@morcellemorcelle618]

Cate Blanchette was like "You have to give me a part in the new Pinocchio! I'll play anything! Del toro: "well the only role that hasnt been cast yet is a non speaking monkey....." CB: 🐒🐵

[@EChacon]

You brought up an interesting point at 39:27-39:35 James while mentioning _Pan's Labyrinth_ and Guillermo del Toro's thoughts on war because, in an interview from del Toro, he considers his stop-motion version of _Pinocchio_ to be a companion piece and belonging to the same trilogy of his previous films: _The Devil's Backbone_ and _Pan's Labyrinth._ Now although _Devil's Backbone_ and _Pan's Labyrinth_ were both set in Spain during the Spanish Civil War and Post-Spanish Civil War respectively and _Pinocchio_ was set in Italy during Mussolini's reign, what all three films have in common is that all three deal with childhood and war and the loss of innocence, along with each movie having a child as the protagonist (Carlos, Ophelia, and Pinocchio). Also, as an easter egg, the Faun and the Pale Man from _Pan's Labyrinth_ appear on the stained glass windows of the church.

[@roo1014]

There are so many references to the original book from 1883. - Gepetto's son being named Carlo is a reference to the original author/creator Carlo Collodi. - Sebastain getting smushed by a hammer is a reference to the original book where Pinocchio killed the talking cricket with a hammer. - Pinocchio setting his feet on fire. - The Black Rabbits - The Giant Dogfish

[@michaelfitzgerald38]

Guillermo Del Toro’s version of _Pinocchio_ is no doubt another Stop-Motion masterpiece and one of Del Toro's best films in the past 5-10 years, so I see this rivaling or being on par to the Disney 1940 Animated film. According to del Toro he mentioned in previous interviews that this film was a passion project he wanted to work on for more than a decade (2008) and the project languished in Development hell due to the lack of funding and almost was canceled. Fortunately, Netflix picked the film rights and Del Toro got to create this Stop-Motion masterpiece, in addition, he also go on to say despite the film's PG Rating and being animated, Guillermo says and brings up an excellent point that Animation isn't a "Genre for Children" but a medium and an artform that can be for any age. Thanks for the incredible reaction you guys and big congrats on gaining 197k subscribers on the channel and looking forward to your reaction to Chicken Run tomorrow. In addition hope you guys get to react to Del Toro’s other films such as _The Devil's Backbone, Cronos, Crimson Peak, Nightmare Alley, Mimic_ and _The Shape of Water._

[@amandawade7803]

I love how instead of a quest to become a real boy, Pinocchio learns what it means to be alive and how precious it is. While at the same time Geppetto learns to live again by letting go of the past and letting go of expectations. He taught Carlos that he needed to perfect pine cone, which was the reason why he died, then he expected Pinocchio to be the perfect replica of Carlos which only pushes him away. It isn't until he accepts Pinocchio for who he is that he finally finds joy again. Which is why (in my opinion) they didn't have Pinocchio turn into a "real" boy, because there was no reason for him to change who he is to please his papa or society. Also it's really funny when Mussolini, the fascist dictator, says he likes puppets.

[@EChacon]

Besides Sebastian J. Cricket, Gepetto, and Candlewick, my favorite character development from the film is Spazzatura the Monkey cause he suffered abuse from his owner Count Volpe and although he showed jealousy towards Pinocchio, he eventually earned Pinocchio’s trust when he protected him from Volpe and returned the favor to help Pinocchio embarrass Volpe in front of el dulce (Mussolini) and rescuing Pinocchio from being burned alive, in addition, he was the last individual to be by Pinocchio after Gepetto and Sebastian passed away until he passed away as well.🐒🐒 Also, both you and Nobu might be surprised but that’s Cate Blanchett who provided the voice of the monkey Spazzatura, and an interesting story is that while she was working with del Toro on _Nightmare Alley_ (another del Toro film I highly recommend you guys watch for a future group reaction) Blanchett had begged him to have a role in the stop motion version of _Pinocchio_ and goes on to say that she was willing to even "play a pencil" in that film and for his later movies. And although many of the roles including the Wood Sprite and Death were given to Tilda Swinton, the only role del Toro offered her was Spazzatura the Monkey to which Cate Blanchett was very interested in playing and goes on to consider Spazzatura her spirit animal.🐒

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

When I first watched the movie, I was shocked at how much care, passion and heart was poured into it. Thank you, Mr. Del Toro, for actually giving a damn. I have always had a thing for stop-motion.

[@roo1014]

This film is incredible . . . it's been Guillermo del Toro's heart and soul passion project since 2008

[@simonsonian8977]

I love how they utterly turned the Pleasure Island scene on it's head. The little boys are still stripped of their faces. They still sell themselves off to experience what they think will make them a man. They still lose their humanity. But the message of the scene has been entirely flipped. Just like how the message of the story as a whole has changed from "in order to receive respect and love you must obey" to "every child inherently deserves love and respect and the chance to make mistakes and learn from them", the message of the Pleasure Island scene has been changed from "children will get hurt if they disobey" to "children will get hurt if you force them to obey".

[@MrTbk1701]

I love how Geppetto‘s voice is the ground keeper from The Harry Potter films.

[@EChacon]

Yup David Bradley.

[@jrgrimm6091]

Filch

[@jeremyodwyer9232]

I really like the change to the ending that 'becoming a real boy' doesn't mean he changes from wood into flesh but that he becomes mortal and accepts that he'll die like everyone else. I grew up on the Storyteller version and I remember when he changed into a 'real boy' at the end he looks over at his former puppet body and says 'look at that....how ridiculous I must have been' and it really rubbed me the wrong way. I remember feeling like 'old Pinocchio' had been 'replaced' by some boring regular boy that I had no connection to and who was disrespecting the puppet I'd been following. I like that in this ending Pinocchio still feels like Pinocchio. He's the same guy he's always been. He's still made of wood. And he becomes a 'real boy' by accepting mortality. I think it's a better ending because a dope living puppet is way better that a boring ass regular boy.

[@pinkishhaven5158]

Learning that Cate Blanchett, THE Galadriel, voiced Spazzatura the monkey gave me such joy😆

[@BananaMike780]

Picturing Lady Galadriel screeching like an abused monkey in the audio booth is such a fantastic image

[@DI-QueenmoEMino]

OH Yes! Can't believe you guys are finally watching Del Toro iteration of Pinocchio. Seriously I got to say that this version or adaptation of Pinocchio is honestly one of my top favorites on so many levels, I truly love it a lot more then the Disney version to be honest. I love how this one has much more depth to it in terms of dealing with the meaning of being a " Real Boy" and the tie-in with Death and also I how it adds more to the father and son relationship Gepetto had with his son and how close they were. And it adding so much more to Gepetto grief of him wanting his son back. Like everything about this movie is so good.

[@ParsureArts]

I watched the behind the scenes! (A whiiiile ago) pretty sure the faces for Pinocchio were 3D printed. Andddd there were larger versions of Sebastian and Pinocchio made for close ups/when they interacted, so there was enough detail-

[@ParsureArts]

Alsoooo the war plot/time period is different between this movie and the original book- that was more of a … medieval fantasy world? And speaking of villains, it was originally going to be the circus worker that was lifting a barbell, but he changed it to Volpe.

[@benarts2271]

My personal favorite animated movie of last year cos I’m obsessed with stop motion and seeing this film just made me kept going, no matter how hard life can get 🙃😂

[@filipvadas7602]

This movie is a *masterpiece* through and through. In a year where we got , somehow, 3 different Pinocchio movies this one is not only the best, but most in line with the spirit of the original fairy tale. Even keeping details a lot of adaptations cut, like the rabbits.

[@KERRYPIKE]

I really love the animation of Pinocchio, the style of the characters is very incredible.

[@BurningQuestion]

I adore the song from the end credits and sing it regularly. Such a great message.

[@mrsiraldo2544]

From what ive heard, that Miltary camp was meant to be this versions of Pleasure Island. And Candlewick is meant to be Lampwick

[@SilverSkyCloud]

considering the time that the movie seems to be set in, you'd think that as soon as pinocchio stepped out of that house both him AND gepeto wouldve been tied to a pyre and burned to death for witchcraft

[@sawanna508]

The movie takes place between the World Wars not in the 19th century. No one was that supersitisous anymore not even in Italy.

[@jimmyl324]

A magnificent achievement. Ciao Papa always makes me cry.

[@malytheson]

Disney should be ashamed of them self with their pinochio remake

[@Andrea-ye6ix]

Pinocchio is, for me, another way to explain what right and wrong is through different topics such as war, religion, mortality, relations, temptations...all seem by the eyes of a child. The movie is about the journey of pinocchio and his development. How he learns to be a good person at the point he ends up giving his life for his father.

[@0l._.l0895]

This is my favorite adaptation of Pinocchio. It is beautiful from the character design, to the writing, to the beautiful stop motion that I missed seeing on screens.

[@RedBlitzen]

In response to the post-movie discussion of rule breaking vs rule following. "All rules have exceptions. Including this one."

[@lort8334]

Also, think about the setting, the time period. About what blindly following rules means.

[@speedracer2008]

So glad you guys are reacting to this film! Its animation is breathtaking and you can tell it was made with love by Guillermo del Toro.

[@allisonfisher9304]

This is such a great film. Just phenomenal💖 Another overlooked stop motion film is The Boxtrolls, which I have recently discovered, much to my delight🌟

[@commissarcardsharp]

47:20 Yeah Fascist Italy had their own version of the Hitler Youth/child soldiers called the Opera Nazionale Balilla which was later renamed to Gioventù Italiana del Littorio (in english: Italian Youth of the Lictor) in fact it'd be more accurate to say that the Hitler Youth were based on the ONB/GIL than the other way around.

[@schmittenanimations179]

I don't know what it is about this movie but whenever I hear the songs from it and see the stop motion I feel really nostalgic in a similar way that I feel looking at old Rankin Bass movies.

[@neontyler6663]

MASTERPIECE!❤ A TIMELESS CLASSIC ALREADY!

[@XperimentorEES]

This was a work of passion and it shows, such love and desperation throughout. Been years since I read the original book though, but I like the twisted mythology inter-played with the darker historical significance here.

[@sujhaylavargas8053]

i love the angel or manticore when pinoccio died its just so beatifull representation of the live with the sand clocks i love your reaction ;3

[@SolemnSomber]

the appearance of Death (the angel) reminded me of a sphinx.

[@lillianbarbieri7771]

This movie is beautiful and so emotional. I loved the way they adapted the story in this.

[@sawanna508]

The approach that Pinocchio and Gepetto manage to escape from the whale's belly by lieing has been done before. There was a live action movie in the later 90s that used that solution.

[@morcellemorcelle618]

Pinocchios nose growing when he's lying is not a change, it's the most important part about Pinocchio....

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

This was such a beautiful film! Was in awe the entire time watching. I don't understand how all this is done so perfectly. During this reaction, I couldn't stop thinking about Ewan McGregor in Big Fish because of the cricket lol

[@tylerhackner9731]

Love this one the best out of the three we got

[@arianaink100]

What’s Pinocchio about? As the father is holding the doll in his hands on the beaches he cries for his son ‘I made you.’ What did he make him with? Ultimately Love. It may have been a violent process to make pinochio but it was done out of utter desperation and anger for loosing a loved one. And love for his son pushed every thought and action when making Pinocchio. It’s so sad to watch Geppetto loose his kids because we see that they’re good kids that they’re children learning to be people and themselves and that he’s trying his best to get the time to spend with them to teach them things and that he loves spending time together enjoying the day. His whole character becomes a look at how love/hate are the razors edge. That for one reason you can love something so much and in the next moment you can hate something so much (because it goes against or threatens what you love, what you remember loving, or what you loved and consider as everyday. You can hate the war or you can love the war or as pinochio says: ‘I love war’ multiple times with only half the time his nose growing. The context of why he liked the war changed, his response was truthful or to the point his nose didn’t grow because of varying situations and contexts. (When he’s arguing with candlewick saying ‘I love war no I love war’ neither one of them loves war they’re both lying they’re both saying I love war and meaning ‘I love it more then you no I love it more then you’ to which they both feel they are honest and superior that they love more then the other person the subject they’re discussing could be anything ‘I love frenchfries more then you no I do!’ It’s not about the fries it’s how you feel about the fries and if you feel like you just generally have more love and appreciation for things then the other person. That time that Geppetto spends is seemingly always disrupted by outside forces ie. War/Circus/Animals/Death but the biggest factor being personal decisions and accountability. Every person has their own actions and feelings independent to what they learn, and sometimes that what they were taught was wrong, or that it’s okay to break rules, it’s okay to lie or be honest depending upon situation: ULTIMATELY it’s how you are as a person and as a man. The whole point of the elders acting in this movie is that they react off of emotion. Whatever choices the adults make is a decision they make based off of their personal feeling as they try to adultly move through situations. They may have contracts of societal/political obligations or have a facade as to hide their interest but it all boils down to them being emotionally invested for one reason or another that’s Personal. For Geppetto his relationship with Pinochio is different then all the other adults. It was his own hands and his work to carve and the time to grow the tree and all time with his son to find the pine ones and to tell songs and stories. And all the time for the war to start and to take his son and for his burial and for the mourning and for the ax and breakdown. all the time for those trees to bear fruit and seeds to lead to them finding pine cones and to every carving he’s ever made in his life to get him to the skill level to where he can make Pinochio The other adults had their own lives and Wanted pinochio but Geppetto spent every second of his life to make pinochio and to spend time with him and without him and love him. That’s the difference. He made him with his hands and with love and care and time and patience and all of the knowledge and understanding and feeling in his life just to create Pinochio for a second. A puppet should only be brought to life when the strings are pulled, Geppetto was a carver he was NOT a puppeteer. His job was to mold and shape things to fit with peoples lives that’s why he makes his son shoes and makes pinochio legs to run on and in. He gives his time, experience, wisdom and blood/sweet/tears to others to bring them joy in daily life. That’s what he feels it means to be a father and a craftsman who raises the trees then works with the wood infront of him to make a good decent life. It took everything and loosing so much in Geppettos life to get him to the point to make Pinocchio.

[@MetaLatias5]

1:15:45 You mean like The Lego Movie, where people wondered whether or not it was stop motion bc the CG models were just that good? XD btw, Carlo died in WW1 and the majority of the movie takes place in WW2, I believe, the time inbetween is the time the tree took to grow (and Geppetto was a suffering drunk that whole time) I really like how this movie spins the message of the original Pinocchio ("obey and listen to your parents or you'll suffer and die alone") into more something like "Don't obey blindly (like the fascists, they're the actual puppets and cowards!), be yourself, live your life and be there for your loved ones, for you don't know how much time you have with them" Oh, also, there has been at least one Pinocchio movie before that I know of which uses Pinocchio's nose growing from lying as a way to escape the fish/whale, I believe it was the 1995 life action version (oddly enough, Pinocchio also gets shot in that one, pff) I've seen quite a few people say online that that movie gave them nightmares or something because of how they did life action Pinocchio, CGI Jimminy Cricket, the donkey transformation sequence and Monstro the whale, which, fair I guess, but honestly that's part of why I loved that movie as a kid, like those things are supposed to be horrifying in life action it's definitely still my favorite version of a life action Pinocchio, he actually does look like a puppet come to life in it, rather than an actor in costume or a CG cartoon puppet

[@willlyon7129]

Fun fact; Carlo is named after the original author of Pinocchio

[@borntogazeintonightskies]

8:55 For anyone who doesn't know, the man in the picture is 19th century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer.

[@olli-lfe]

These are the reactions I like. I like the artistic and film analysis as well as you guys take on the message of the film. I wish you guys would react to more art focused films like student films/animation, experimental animation, or independent films. Some fine art can get so "deep" to where it loses all usefulness but if anything the craft and visuals will be remarkable enough to elicit a discussion.

[@kampinak]

this is a top tier animated movie, such a pleasant surprise when it came out :) the best Pinocchio version to date :)

[@johnmartin4119]

As much as I love the Disney version I do think Del Toro’s version of the character of Pinocchio is definitely the more book accurate version of the title character. The film does a great job making Pinocchio a impulsive selfish kid more closer to the book, and yet Del Toro still does a great job getting us to still like Pinocchio. Disney made their version more naive and innocent because they couldn’t make Pinocchio likable yet selfish. But Del Toro definitely made it so that even in Pinocchio’s bratty moments you the viewer still understand that he’s just a kid and that kids are often bratty, selfish and impulsive because they don’t know better. And like in the original book, Del Toro captures how even though Pinocchio is a flawed kid he still wants love and to do right by his father and loved ones and still tries to be better and think selflessly about others. So Bravo to Del Toro

So this is probably my second favorite Pinocchio movies. This movie demonstrates that you don’t need to literally become a human flesh boy, to become a boy.. this depiction demonstrates how your actions can be very mature. I like how in this version it’s a little more realistic in terms of death, situation’s, realistic, family, unfortunate events.

This movie 100% deserves to win best animated movie at the Oscars. It is truly fantastic.

This is a totally original retelling of pinnochio, with a few thing similar to the book

You guys asked if there was a message from the movie. I think it’s something that I always say. Life is a message you learn on the way.

The name of the monkey in italian literally means "trash".

On the subject of what medium stop-motion falls under, I hold the notion that stop-motion is, in a sense, "animated" live-action. My reasoning is to think of it in the sense of "tangible objects vs. produced images". And following this logic, stop-motion is both. It utilises real-world objects, and is limited by their various physical properties like weight, colour, and proportions, throughout the filmmaking process(live-action). However, it uses them to _act_ as humans, animals, even other vastly different objects like planes or machines, when the actual creatures or objects themselves could have worked just fine(animation). Also, instead of recording real motion e.g. throwing a punch or running down a street, mostly you'll see several composed shots of, well, "stopped" motion. By this, I mean the motion doesn't happen in real-time; rather, they're staged to produce an illusion of the movement (animation). However, rather than drawings on a cel, paper, or digital canvas, the exact models, sets, and positions they were in existed in the real world and were filmed as such(live-action). Style also comes into play here, too. You could use various objects to "portray" themselves in the film. And just as easily, live-action can make use of fabricated sets or chroma key. The difference in this case tends to be the style: often live-action seeks to be congruent to the real world as possible, while stop-motion tends to take a more artistic than realistic approach in its visual style. I can apply this logic to other forms of media too. Puppetry, for example, I find to be the inverse of stop-motion: "live-acted" animation. To sum it up: live performance using real people/objects/materials and actual moving around(live-action), but usually not seen in their "normal" state, instead portraying different creatures or sets(animation). Moving pictures, but you physically move them instead of "pretending" they move on their own. Ultimately, though, this is a bigger debate than for a single comment. There are tonnes of other vastly different media like games, which throw interactivity into this whole mess. And furthermore, this is simply my opinion, but one that I feel I've adequately argued for.

I believe it's during the start or leading to the start of World War 2. Cause while Geppetto was grieving for Carlo, Sebastián mentioned that years passed.

[@memyselfandi7782]

I loved this one

[@dannybob42]

This was a lovely rendition, though I must admit I didn't like the conclusion that Pinocchio remained immortal, it just didn't sit right with me. It was a unique choice to set it during Wartime Italy, and there are some early horror aesthetics in there, like how Pinocchio's construction is similar to Frankenstein, and of course Del Toro loves his Biblically accurate angels and beasts of eyes where eyes shouldn't be. The original story is dark, in some aspects as dark as this movie; Pinocchio starts impulsive - which does not befit his lack of morality - and naive and much of the story is his journey of maturing by his experiences. As a result there are some pretty grim things in neither this nor the Disney adaptation; he killed Jiminy Cricket (on accident) by throwing a hammer at it after being scolded after Gepetto was arrested under suspicion of child abuse because he ran away the moment he learned to walk, he bit off a cat's paw (tbf the Cat and the Fox were mugging him) and gets Hanged for it - the undertaker rabbits in the movie are in the book too, he's sent to prison for 'foolishness' when the Cat and Fox trick him out of his money, he almost gets eaten by an Ogre, and he got fully transformed into a Donkey (which apparently the skin can be 'eaten off' by fish when he was suffering an attempted drowning) with Candlewick, who died from exhaustion as a donkey doing farm work despite Pinocchio's efforts, in Toyland. The scene where Pinocchio burned his feet off on the fireplace is in the book though, and Monstro is indeed a Dogfish rather than a whale like in Disney. And dammit they should've let the cricket finish his song!

[@thecomicdirector8417]

My 2nd fav stop motion animated movie

[@JoseCastro-rd3tb]

Amazing movie

[@nugget3878]

Wait because the cricket was talking with the bunnies at the end after he was dead , does that mena , if Pinocchio died , he would see his friend again and this time , they woukd be the same height

[@jessicacaleno1998]

It's the first time I've seen this version too. Bit dark and real life philosophy is applied to it, very well written, full of life lessons, It also gave off some Tim Burton vibes.🕷️

[@philia95]

I think the movie deliberately encourages breaking the rules sometimes in order to promote it's anti-fascist message by encouraging the viewer to think for themselves rather than blindly follow what they've been told. It shows that Pinocchio was right to question things when they didn't make sense or went against his better judgement.

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

Prepare to have your minds blown: Spazzatura the monkey was voiced by Cate Blanchett

[@getshwifty3101]

I love this one SO much more than Disney's. I never understood why I didn't like Disney's until I saw a Cracked video under OPCD. But this one teaches the lessons SO much better. Like.....Disney, HOW is throwing yourself off a cliff, tied to a rock, in the middle of a storm. RIGHT after your "best friend" screams for help, considered brave/selfless??? .....YEEAAA, that's a big yikes.

[@basicsimp8798]

Disney's Pinocchio was basically just a conservative wet dream. Always obey your parents. Del Toro's is literally woke a heck. Love it.

[@thatcher6923]

Yeah, this movies’s not very accurate to the original story in terms of the actual plot, but I think it’s way closer in spirit than the Disney movie ever was. The original story was serialized in a children’s magazine, and was written by a political journalist. So, the book had a lot of things to say about Italy’s current state of poverty, while stilll trying to teach more basic lessons like ‘respect your parents or they’ll get arrested’ and ‘don’t skip school or else you’ll be hung in a tree by thieves and then die’. I think that this version of Pinocchio has the same perfect balance of political commentary, heart, and wry humour.

It's WW2 and Pinocchio gets swallowed by the whale not Geppetto in the original story.

Okay this was really weird, and Not the story of Pinocchio that I have always know. at the end of the story he is turned into a real boy. and their was Never any Nazis in it. So yeah this was not only dark, but it was really out there. On a side note when I was a little boy we had a Dashhound named Pinocchio.
