The Adventures of Pinocchio Review

[@RavenFoxAudio]

QUESTION OF THE REVIEW: What character, movie or TV show haunted your childhood and why? Does it still bother you now that you're older? Let us know in the replies below and your answer might be read by Bobsheaux or me at the end of the next review! Only replies to this comment will be considered. Put some thought and detail into your answer in order to make it stand out!

Disney villains (particulary Jafar, Maleficient, Ursula, Shere Khan, and live-action Cruella from 1998 and Kaa from 94) and the raptors from Jurassic Park 3 in particular. Also Voldemort from the first HP movie. I was already a teenager when the rest of the films came out.

[@homecruz7743]

I don't think there was any show that scared me as a kid but one show I saw back when that scares me as an adult is Jay Jay the Jet Plane. Those planes are terrifying!

Wow... Of course classic Muppets was precisely what I was going for, but to the point of almost tears? What a compliment, thank you so much.

[@gabopr13]

It did feel somewhat bittersweet for me, and while that word choice doesn’t make much sense for most, it does to me, with it having you feel like you’re at your lowest point before a kermit comes by to help you through the trouble and telling you that, even if you failed the first few times, you can still find a way to succeed which helps bring you to a somewhat higher point and gives you the courage to try again.

[@IUsedToBeAnAdventurerLikeYou]

I feel like I’m one of the few people who saw this movie as a kid and wasn’t traumatized. It was one of my favorite movies and made me obsessed with puppets. I made my own Pinocchio out of craft sticks, yarn, and Scotch tape (I was 7 so cut me some slack) and carried it with me absolutely everywhere. It was a tall monstrosity too. Almost as tall as me. Also fun fact: Jobathan Taylor Thomas isn’t actually singing during the puppet show. It’s Brian May from Queen with voice manipulation.

[@TothanCrawk]

Honestly the running gag of him looking horrifying in this video is really overkill and stopped being funny real quick for me.

[@jackiesliterarycorner]

I wasn't traumatized and was surprised to find people were. I love this version of the story the best.

[@Alejandroigarabide]

Fun fact: Disney's Jiminy Cricket is known as Pepe in spanish-speaking countries. How that influenced the Italian-inspired american non-Disney adaptation is beyond me.

If Raven thought Pinocchio was creepy in this movie, in the direct to video sequel (which was never released in the USA for some reason) he has a lot of competition for most creepy character. The other contestants are: *Puppet Geppeto *The aquarium filled with fish with human faces (they are just as creepy as the villain's appetite for them 😖) *Lampwick as a sea donkey *Lorenzini with his mutant sea monster parts with an addition of octopus tentacles for feet & legs (as opposed to whale tail fins) *Madame Flambeau If you've had watch the movie, let me know which one made you feel uncomfortable.

Thank you for reading my comment from "The StoryTeller" review!! And don't worry, my name often how read. Though, in the defense of the Snow White Prince, he kissed her goodbye in the Disney film and in the book, the apple lodged in Snow White's throat was removed when the Prince has her glass tomb removed. But "Labyrinth" as an 80's sitcom would probably be like "Adventures in Wonderland" for an older audience when you think about it.

5:01 - 6:04: Well, to be fair, the problem with Pinocchio being brought to life the moment he was created has been an occurrence since the original story, so you can blame Carlo Collodi for that. 16:20 - 16:43: That’s because, originally, Wallace Shawn, the voice of Rex from Toy Story, and the same guy who appeared in the Princess Bride, was suppose to play the Cricket in the Adventures of Pinocchio. Instead, they got David Doyle, who played Grandpa Lou Pickles in the Rugrats. It was his last performance before he died. 29:36 - 30:03: Nope, he won’t be killed when he’s in puppet form, not since Carlo Collodi gave in to the editors complained to him about Pinocchio being hanged as the ending. 33:52 - 34:12: Well, to be fair, the original story had the Dogfish/Shark die while Pinocchio and Gepetto were exiting out of the beast. 36:29 - 37:33: Well, God did make Adam and Eve, and they would’ve been brother and sister by default, but he labeled them as husband and wife instead.

Who says that Pinoccio is hurt by the woodpecker? His reaction is more of annoyance than pain. And "Pepe" is the cricket's name in the Disney Spanish version.

[@Mathilde_Bruhn]

I think it would have been better if Pinnocchio asked Gepetto for a little brother or sister when giving him the log at the end; it would have avoided any incest implications, and it's not uncommon for only children to ask their parents for a younger sibling

If Raven thinks this version is creepy, wait till she sees Roberto Benigni's Pinocchio.

Fun fact: Just like in The Lion King, it's not really Johnathan Taylor Thomas singing. It's actually a man named Brian May who also wrote and sang the snippet song of the puppet play "What Are We Made Of?" in its entirety on the soundtrack along with vocalist Sissel. In that version, you get his real voice and it sounds like a beautiful power ballad. You can find the performance both under the aforementioned song's title and "Il Collosso" which is referred to as the play/movie version. They just sped up Brian's voice to match Johnathan's pitch. I know....Nerd alert. Can't help it. I listened to that song on repeat since I saw the flick as a little kid. Oh, and Raven's gonna hate this, but I found this little bit of trivia hilarious: The actress playing the cat lady alongside the fox guy trying to con Pinocchio was talking and acting like that to channel Eartha Kitt's Catwoman from the 1960s Batman series.

I’m very fascinated by your knowledge of puppets bob. What’re some of the best puppet shows you’ve seen and or would recommend seeing?

[@jenneacubero1036]

Why Bob? Why? Why did you remind us of this creepy mess?! As kids, my sister had gotten the movie on VHS with the cover showing Pinocchio going from a scary puppet to a human. I had only seen parts of the movie with Pinocchio climbing out the window, to calling Gepetto "Papa" to the old man's chagrin and then to the puppet on a ship with donkeys. The movie didn't scare me in a "run out the room screaming" kind a way, but more of a "leave the room quietly and block that smelly puppet out" kind of way. Though, as I'm watching this review, I can't help but be reminded of the puppets of "LazyTown" which I was never really afraid of, oddly enough... Meanwhile, if you want a live-action "Pinnochio", I recommend the 2019 adaptation. I haven't seen it but, judging from the score on imdb, it seems like Robert Benigni has redeemed himself for that atrocity "Pinocchio" of 2002.

[@sebastianemond5313]

I find it odd in this movie how they made Udo Kier an amalgamation of the three major baddies of the Pinocchio story; the puppet show manager, the coachman and carnival promoter, and the monstrous whale.
