Which Pinocchio Wins? - Pinocchio Review & Comparison, 1940 vs 2022

[@MiorPhoenix]

Good review. But another thing that bothered me about the live-action Pinocchio is that he uses his lying to get out of a situation. Sure, being smart and resourceful is good, because he knew to use his long nose to get the key that was across the room. But what was Disney trying to tell kids with the whole message of lying? He’s supposed to apologize for lying, not use it to his advantage.

[@cursedpyrogaming5176]

Finally a person who gets it

[@EpicJoshua314]

The lies Pinocchio tells are him trying not to admit any of his wrongdoings -- it just so happened his nose grew almost long enough for Jiminy to reach the key -- and the lie he tells which enables Jiminy to get the key is a White Lie. Even if he told all those lies to get the key, there still is one issue: just because Jiminy got the key doesn't mean that Pinocchio is automatically free as even with the door unlocked, his freakishly long nose traps him in the cage. How he gets free is Pinocchio admitting his wrongdoings (what he should have done instead of lying) until his nose shrinks back to normal. It makes 0 sense for him to intentionally tell all those lies so his nose can grow long enough to get the key and then admit wrongdoings and boom his nose is back to its normal size. The message that you shouldn't lie is in this movie... just like in the original.

Yes, I watched a couple other reviews that pointed out the same thing about the lying scene. I very much agree. I guess that kind of goes back to the whole changing of Pinocchio’s character thing, where he’s not as committed to doing bad things, as he is in the animation. Thanks so much for watching!

[@MiorPhoenix]

@@EpicJoshua314 Yeah, only after he finds use for his lying.

[@ultramariogod]

Basically, what makes Pinocchio 1940 significant to many is that a wooden puppet acts like an actual troublesome boy and gets punished for it, he has an arc and becomes good, asks for forgiveness and saves his father and is rewarded by becoming a real boy. If the moral of Pinocchio 2022 was you're great just the way you are, they should never have transformed Pinocchio into a real boy at the end.

[@CheeseTree43]

I very much agree. I guess they felt obligated to show some kind of transformation, even just a subtle one, at the very end of the live action. Thanks for watching!

[@sirseedott4436]

Wow, that was a pretty professional and thorough review!

[@CheeseTree43]

Thanks so much! I did my best! 🙂

[@danmiy12]

The fact he already is the best he can be and is already a good boy who tends to do the right thing if he's not peer pressured into it makes me question why he is still a puppet as that was the goal of pinocchio. And since pinocchio makes much better choices makes me question why jimmy cricket is there, if somehow pinocchio already has some moral compass already other then being the narrator.

[@CheeseTree43]

I highly agree! Thanks so much for watching!

6:42 Got nostalgic af for Wreck it Ralph. 6:45 The reason I gave the live action remake a chance.

[@CheeseTree43]

Yes, I like to give movies a chance. You can find something good in almost any movie, I think. Thanks for watching!

[@Polar-f2h]

Both are great, but the 1940 animated film is the best! I still love the remake, though. Pinocchio is my favorite Disney animated film of all-time, and the remake is my favorite Disney remake of all-time! I also remember seeing Pinocchio appear in The Polar Express and Who Framed Roger Rabbit (two of my favorite movies, which are both directed by Robert Zemeckis), so that's pretty neat.

[@CheeseTree43]

I suppose Zemeckis must be a Pinocchio fan! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

[@eliassmeke3991]

Will I don’t love ❤️ the remake of Pinocchio like 👍 you did @Legomovie970 I just prefer the original animated version of Pinocchio (1940)

[@eliassmeke3991]

Question 🙋‍♀️ please 🙏, is Disney’s 1940 animated version of Pinocchio better then the 2022 live action remake on Disney+?

[@CheeseTree43]

Personally, I think so, yes. 🙂👍

[@eliassmeke3991]

So it is then ok 👍?

[@CheeseTree43]

@@eliassmeke3991 The 1940s one is a superb masterpiece if that’s what you’re asking. 👍

[@eliassmeke3991]

Then how about I’m just gonna say that the 1940 animated classic of Pinocchio is better then the live action remake, is that ok 👍 with you CheeseTree43?

They turned Pinocchio into a Gary Stu. EDIT: I love your ending parody of "When You Wish Upon a Star" (which is one of the BEST Disney songs EVER!) But what kind of pie and ice cream? I gotta know that first before I decide to subscribe.

[@CheeseTree43]

Thanks so much! Unfortunately, it may be the same ice cream and pie that Pinocchio was eating at the 3:26 mark... Ironic, ain’t it? I completely understand if that causes me to lose your sub. 😂

Not gonna lie, was a solid review, but it was the singing in the outro that had me. When's the album dropping?

@@CheeseTree43 thanks man, appreciate it

[@eliassmeke3991]

Question 🙋‍♀️, how come you thought 💭 the ending in the live action version was good 👍 where Geppetto dies?

[@CheeseTree43]

Thanks for the question! Although I prefer the animated version, I think it was an interesting twist to see Pinocchio be the one to be sorrowful for the loss of a loved one. However, I think it would have been far more effective if the things that Pinocchio had done in the live action version were actually his fault. Because then Pinocchio’s sorrow would have been much deeper and personal, as his missteps would have been more so the reason that Geppetto came to his demise. A bit dark, perhaps, but I think it would have been much more meaningful and also making it feel more like a story of redemption for Pinocchio. I hope that makes sense. Thanks again!

[@eliassmeke3991]

But you prefer the original ending where Pinocchio dies but is brought back to life by The Blue Fairy and is changed to a real boy 👦 right?

[@CheeseTree43]

@@eliassmeke3991 Of course! It’s a classic and magical and happy moment! haha 🙂👍

[@eliassmeke3991]

I prefer the original ending too in Disney’s 1940 animated classic where the title character gets turned into a real boy 👦

I just prefer the 1940 animated classic, my brother 👦 Jonah prefers the animated classic too

[@CheeseTree43]

Agreed!

[@timmyreyes1993]

Pinocchio 1940 wins by a longshot. The remake sucks! 😔

[@TF2Fan101]

I think a big part of the problem is that the CGI for Pinocchio (The character) is just… Uncanny. Despite him showing emotion, it just lacks the… liveliness of the original animated movie.

[@CheeseTree43]

@@TF2Fan101 Personally, I thought it was at least okay, but I know what you mean and can agree. In hand drawn animation, I’m sure there’s a lot more freedom of emotional expression. I suppose a similar issue also occurred with the “live action” Lion King. Thanks for watching! 🙂
