- This movie had an English dub all ready done but then they decided to go back and make the best casting ever with Pauly Shore as Pinocchio!
Let's take a look at both version of this weird version of Pinocchio that barely wants to do the Pinocchio story!

I like how pinocchio doesn't even remotely look like a puppet.
Yeah because this is a real story and puppets aren’t real
Gepetto made a anime boy...
@@Cheesecake_lover360 Just like Kirito?
I like how the first movie recommended to me under this video is the movie that he’s reviewing.
Everyone looks a bit like wood if you as me
I like how instead of just yelling “this is stupid” for the whole thing, you look at both English dubs and have fun with what the movie offers. This not only makes it insightful but much more entertaining than some other reviews.
Yep one of the many reasons I enjoy his reviews so much 😊
Phelous has a natural understanding of how to do comedy reviews and riffs. It's why he's always been one of my favorites.
It's a skill he's honed since the early 2000s, and it shows!
Makes the reviews timeless and rewatchable
yup, i can't watch Kurtis' video of this because every damn time i wish i were watching this instead lol
Tom Kenny was also credited for working on the Disney Pinocchio remake that same year.
So there were three flavors of Tom Kenny in 3 separate Pinocchio movies all in one year
Interestingly, Tom Kenny was going to voice Pinocchio in another Russian Pinocchio movie, but… it hadn’t been released and the only source about what I said was on IMDB, but that website removed most of the cast except for two.
I bet he will be sick of being involved in retellings of a unholy living wooden boys at this point 🙃
As you can tell, Tom's a very busy voice actor.
I’m pretty he was credited for working on the Del Toro one not the Disney one?
Pinocchio and the water of life is the fourth one.
I'll give this about Pauly Shore, he seems to have a good sense of humor about himself and also is aware of how silly casting him as Pinocchio is and is having fun with it like the rest of us.
I tend to think of the Futurama episode with him in it whenever he's mentioned.
Phelous' impression of Pauly Shore is the best thing I've ever heard and I need more of it 😂😂😂
It's bizarre that we had 3 different Pinnochio films in the same year, and the only good one turned the Blue Fairy into Death, and set the story in WWII.
I loved antifa Pinocchio!
I *really* hate to do this to you, swordhunter…… bUt AcTuAlLyyyYyy the blue fairy and death are separate entities
Well we have 5 dubs of tree of might
4 if you count the meatcanyon “wooden boy” video.
@@livelybubbs6242 And TOBEFAIR, both the Wood Sprite and Death are voiced by Tilda Swinton, so a possible confusion is understandable.
My friends are still mad at me for making them watch this with me but every single line Pauly Shore delivers is hysterical to me
I love how Pauly Shore got top billed when his career is basically dead, meanwhile Tom Kenny is LITERALLY SPONGEBOB.
to be fair, they bet on Pauly Shore being a draw, and the bet paid off
And he's also the Mayor from PPG
@@roxassora2706I’m old enough to remember him from Mr. Show. Watched some of that recently and it still holds up.
I hope you get to play a live-action Pinocchio when you're 50, Phelan.
I’ll give Pauly Shore this…. His performance isn’t wooden. It’s drunken.
I mean, that’s basically a synonym for a Pauly Shore performance
For me, Phelous’s Pauly Shore impression keeps sliding into a stoner version of Werner Herzog…and I love every part of that visual 😂.
Well now I can't stop thinking of that. Thanks. 😂
The original Pinocchio was straight sickhouse not to mention batshit-crazy.
It is great!
“If I had a nickel for every time a foreign Pinocchio film had a bizarre English dub , I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it weird that it happened twice “
Same goes for an animated movie that has a talking orange cat meeting Death.
@@0deadx21 Which one is that?
@@williammorahan4907 Puss In Boots: The Last Wish
Ah huh! So Phelous DOES watch Phineas & Ferb!
@@williammorahan4907 Seriously?
Despite being called "Pinocchio: A True Story", the characters are actually based on Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy's 1936 book "The Golden Key, or the Adventures of Buratino". It's a retelling of Carlo Collodi's "Pinocchio" with some noticeable changes that is much more familiar to the Russian-speaking community.
It's odd that for being a Russian movie it's has nothing to do with the Russian version of Pinocchio anyway
@@giulizpaviz6381 the blue-haired girl (forgot how she's called in this one) is an obvious nod to the original story. The "Pinocchio" has a striped hat that is typical for any depiction of Buratino. But that's about it...
@@GoatPierrot I do remember the Russian cartoon and a bit of the story about it like the fact that the fox is female and Mangiafuoco is an antagonist who enslave the puppets
How many Russian writers were there named Tolstoy?
Was just about to say this!
I got more enjoyment out of it than the Disney remake.
I really enjoyed The NetFlix version of Pinnochio. In fact The NetFlix Pinnochio is my second favorite version of The Pinnochio story. MY ALL TIME FAVORITE PINNOCHIO IS THE ORIGINAL DISNEY PINNOCHIO.
12:32 Wood can't get drunk. But it can get plastered!
Which is basically the same thing
Pauly Shore’s line delivery in this flick pretty much steams to either “I’m just doing this for a paycheck” or “I’m going to be extremely flamboyant for no particular reason” with hardly a between.
"Remember, Pinocchio, always think with your wallet first and let your money be your guide". Words to live by 😂. Omg, I couldn’t stop laughing at this review. Loved the impressions 🤣.
Pauly Shore as Pinocchio is one thing, but Pauly Shore as Pinocchio in this movie is a whole other level.
The design of Pinocchio in this movie is apparently based on Buratino, the 1936 Russian adaptation of Pinocchio by Alexey Tolstoy. Buratino's nose doesn't grow so that's actually why that part of the story is left out.
And Bella is based on Malvina from the same story, although Malvina was a puppet and not a human.
Pauly Shore's performance here is sadly an example of why celebrity voice acting tends to get a bad rep.
Which is worse in this case because Shore DOES have some experience voice acting as he voiced Bobby in "A Goofy Movie" and its sequel and he did a fine job there... though then again the character was basically designed with him in mind because he's a stoner.
Exactly. All he had to do as Bobby was his normal 90's movie schtick. Here he basically does his normal inflections, but with dialogue that doesn't work well with it. And they didn't so much as rewrite any of his dialogue to end with "Buh-UHHH-ddy."
He was much younger when he did A Goofy Movie so you can hear how energetic he was. This feels like it was just a pay check that he could phone in.
@@ditzyhere3138 It's just a weird casting decision on both counts. Jon Heder does work as the horse, though. It feels like something in his wheelhouse, being goofy voiced, dorky character and all. I don't know how this movie would have been with California surfer bum burnout dialogue coming out of Pinocchio, but it feels like we'd get something more natural from him. Also, anyone else getting oddly Invader Zim vibes when he reads the line of dialog about how he's ALIIIIIVE?
Tbf I find stoned Pinnoccio hilarious XD
@@ditzyhere3138 mmmmm😅
I've only seen clips of Pauly Shore's performance for the trailer, but man, words do not do it justice. Great review!
I kept forgetting Geppetto was even in this. There's half the central characters present, yet Pinocchio's creator feels like the biggest afterthought
That cat is always pulling out the steel.
"By dying in a fire you proved yourself worthy."
Pinocchio is the real Phoenix King of Ulthuan.
I understand now. Pinocchio is Bobby from a goofy movie 😅
Cheddar WHIZZY! AWOOOO!
Don’t worry bro, I’m a yellow belt. (He had more lines in the sequel)
MMMMM SLURPAGE
"Yo Tybalt! It's the Leaning Tower of Cheezah!"
Interesting fact for Phelous: Jordan Worsley (who supposed to voice Pinocchio) is a slightly famous UA-camr in the "Skyeng" channel (which is the biggest online course of English in Russia), where he is telling some interesting cases in English language and some aspects of the British lifestyle. He has pretty neat British accent, but he lives in Russia long enough to speak Russian fluently. Didn't know he was replaced by Pauly Shore :(
"If someone wants to be human, all they have to do is be human."
I guess Lucilda went to the same medical school as the doctor from Magic Gift Of The Snowman.
“I think if he makes it to Christmas, he’ll turn into a real boy.”
Of course it's true! We got it straight from the horse's mouth....
Yea, I'll see myself out after that bad dad joke!
🐴 😂
"What the heck are you doing? Frickin' idiot! Gosh!"
Died laughing at the Leonardo bit for whatever reason. Your reviews never disappoint, I love these dub comparisons too.
I’m always game for Phelan’s reviews.
And with that series of videos over we can appreciate that dunking on Next Mutation Leonardo.
Any chance of you reviewing the FIlmation film Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night? The backstory alone on that film involving their slate of sequels to fairy tales made famous by Disney alone could make an interesting review.
Yes, I'm probably going to cover that.
Calling it the "True Story" of Pinocchio, you'd think they'd make it a bit more grounded than the original book, but this movie was really random and confusing. Half the time things just kind of happened for no reason.
Yeah cause nothing says grounded then human-sized Fox’s and Cat’s that can talk, wear clothes, and know how guns work, a talking horse that no one questioned can also talk, and a fairy with warp reality powers that can make dead plant matter come to life.
It's pretty similar to a Russia version or retelling of the story called the golden key from the 1940s this movie kind of mashes the two together in a strange way
ALIVE I’m a boy and I’m ALIVE!!
Turns out my My current ukrainian co worker worked on this movie. You can imagine my surprise when it came into conversation. His name is volodymyr Zadorozhniy, of anyone was curious.
Volodymyr the animator!?
Horse Tibalt: It's not our problem
Next Mutation Leonardo: I see I've taught you well.
“We don’t interfere with the affairs of humans, señorinas hurdling off of cliffs is a human problem!”
Sounds like we need a new way.
"I'm a boi and I'm aliiiIIIVVE!!"
If the tent canvas was treated with linseed oil to make it waterproof, it would indeed be extremely flammable but I don’t think the filmmakers know that.
Oh god this movie 😆
By the way, the cat shooting Pinocchio is the funniest thing in this movie.
16:46 I love the subtle dig here. Channel Assh*le 😂
I knew It! Good One Phelan.😂
The Disney pinocchio did the Pikachu tear thing MOSTLY because they did it in their Tangled movie, with the use of the song and everything... except Tangled gived good explanation about why it would work, seeing it's all about her magic healing powers, where the pinocchio one, there no reason to focus on the song and we never introduce that Pinocchio could done this... hell, it's actually worst than with pikachu, because the pokemon movie at least do some forshadowing to prepare to this scene.
That actually only happens in the English dub of the Pokémon movie. The original Japanese one gives no explanation for the magic Pokémon tears, but 4Kids thought that a reason was needed so they shoehorned in the line about Pokémon’s tears of life.
When has 4Kids ever been good?
@@gracestarkes2644 Eh better than nothing
It was stupid in Tangled too
@@Tareltonlives Everything was stupid in Tangled.
Out of the 3 Pinocchio remakes that came out in 2022, This version was definitely one of the weirdest. But it wasn't that bad it had moments that made me laugh.
If circus performers started singing about how the audience’s being fooled everyone would just think that’s part of the act. At most they’d be like ”huh, that was weird”
Pinocchio Has Two Dads...and one is a horse!
"Who's the real sausages for brains...?"
"It's just me! 😉"
The biggest surprise about this movie was to learn that Pauly Shore still gets work.
Ah yes. The most meme worthy pinocchio of all time.
6:22 Immediately after Tom Kenny said “pizza”, I got a pizza ad 😂
Oh, this is one of those. As if they were MADE for Phelous' show. Oh yeah. Chef's kiss.
I'm never gonna get tired of the cat shooting Pinocchio.
I laugh a little every time
I mean, for a long time they were waterproofing circus tents with gasoline and paraffin, so it's not that weird that it went up that quickly in the end. Check out the history of the 1944 circus fire.
Kind of insane that they made it waterproof by making it extra flammable.
@@mastermarkus5307 Not everything from the 19th century makes sense
I'm glad that we finally got the real story of Pinocchio.
Old Man: The red fairy welcomed me in? I must be expected!
Gasp!
Pauly Shore gets a lot of hate. He seems like a decent guy whose career imploded when the 90s ended.
I don't even think his dub is that bad. At least he brings a lot of character to the role, even if his line reads aren't always perfect. With better direction I could see him doing a good job!
He isn't that bad .. but that deep gravely I smoke a pack per day voice really doesn't fit a supposed young boy/man 😅
@@MrWereWolfGirl It fits a very stereotypical gay man. I'm bisexual and it's weird
A 40 minute video from Phelous covering a goofy animated movie? Amazing way to start my vacation!
12:55 Oh look it's why you always have a furry on your art staff, always.
Yeah, I wish I was watching A Goofy Movie right now...
Still better than Disney's remake of Pinocchio. I know that's not saying much, but at least I remember this version even if it's for the wrong reasons.
I agree it’s better than the Disney remake. I’ll stand by that.
@Bearer of Bad news 13 Agreed. At least this movie had me laughing at how bad it was. The Disney remakes? Nope.
Amen on that one
It's better than the Disney remake because why?
@@0deadx21 This one is (mostly) hilariously bad. The Disney remake is just bad. (As well as uncanny and boring.)
The girl with the blue hair makes me think of Malvina from Russian version of Pinocchio called-Adventures of Buratino(Golden Key). She had blue hair too tho in the animated movie(and story) she had escaped the circus and lived in a cottage and tried to teach Buratino manners and alphabet and stuff. She was a love interest to not for him but for Pierrot. And in Buratino his nose actually DOES NOT grow when he lies. and his behaviour is actually rewarded and he becomes a non-conformist. The story cut out A LOT from it's inspiration prob bc Tolstoy's book was written in 1930's so A LOT of the...19th century moralizing and outcomes would've been seen as way too harsh.
Edit: It's got to do with terriblness of everything else but Bella's song is kinda nice. I mean it's nothing overly original...but it's ok.
Phelous? When can I leave to be on my OOwoooownnn?
I've got the whole WORLD to see!
💅
Phelous when can I leave to be on my own? I still have the world to see!
Please please cover Pinocchio 3000. It's genuinely wild and the voice acting is distractingly too good.
Somehow this Pinocchio still didn't end up being the worst one that came out last year.
Man, i can't enjoy lazy dubs that just mock the original, they feel so disrespectful to the team who made it... Idk i never found them funny
Wish they at least kept a version with Jordan Worsley
Yeah, the movie would still be bad but not every movie needs to be a master piece.
Great review as always Phelous! I always look forward for your take on movies like these
Pauly Shore as Pinocchio? Can't wait to see Yahoo Serious as the hunchback of Notre Dame!
Shame you don’t cover the Faerie Tale Theater videos since I seem to recall their version of Pinocchio was played by Paul Reubens aka Pee Wee Herman. I even recall watching their version of Aladdin as a kid which starred James Earl Jones as both the ring & the lamp Genies. It would also be a great way to expand the Beauty & The Beast reviews. Beauty is played by Susan Sarandon, Klaus Kinski is The Beast, and Stephen Elliott is The Old Man.
I’d love to see Phelous take on some Faerie Tale Theatre episodes, preferably alongside Allison. I’m actually reviewing each FTT episode right now on my blog. The post about Aladdin should be up in a few hours!
@@TheITinFIT awesome. Speaking of which, I’m surprised that 2 of their Let’s Riff videos are gone (both the Barney & Donut Repair Club videos). Not sure why or when they’ll ever be uploaded, but I wouldn’t mind seeing them both do some more Let’s Riff videos in the future as well. ^-^
@@EpicJasonX9000 I missed out on Donut Repair Club?!
I love faerie tale theater some of my favs were Sleeping Beauty with Christopher Reeves and Cinderella with Matthew Broderick.
2022 weirdly was the year of Pinocchio.
At least we got one really good one to cancel out the other absolutely crappy ones.
That “are you made of wood?” line is delivered in a way that reminds me of that “are you chocolate?” bit in Foodfight!
Phelan's Pauly Shore impression is one of the funniest things I've ever seen! So accurate!
2022 was really the year of Pinnochio, wasn't it?
It sure was a Pinnochiodemic
Yes.
Yep
Yass!!
I CAN'T BELIEVE PHELOUS REVIEWED THIS MASTERPIECE!
There’s old Russian ummm let’s call it “remake” of Pinocchio named “Buratino”. Story somewhat the same, few interesting additions, but it’s very much version for kids. Not brutal as original Pinocchio tale.
And there’s a girl puppet named Malvina who has blue hair. She had a poodle Artemon and emo simp Pierro (I honestly love him the most).
I guess Russian creator made this Bella girl have blue hair as a reference. But I don’t think she was originally Buratino love interest. She was just a elegant girl all about good manners and tried to teach him some.
P.S. after that bit of useless info I want to thank you for the review it made me laugh and I haven’t laugh in a while.
I honestly can't wait for the inevitable multi-verse crossover film: Pinocchio - Into the Pine-verse
"Well, I tried. I'll just make a new one." I legit thought that was part of the movie. Phelous's Geppetto here was spot-on. 👍
I purchased the original book after your last Pinocchio review. Loved it lol
Wait till you read the original serial.
I should probably do that too 🤔
@@EmilyGloeggler7984 I did. I made sure because I wanted to see the original illustrations. Died laughing when geppetto snatched his friends wig
I swear, we need a Paulie Shore Pinocchio VS William Catner movie.
Whichever one wins, we'll be annoyed.
5:38 I'd like to see Phelous' take on Pinocchio 3000 too!
They made Pinocchio a twink and that makes this one of the best incarnations of the character of all time. 💅🏼
No
A what?😅
Atleast he doesnt smell shit
@@gracekim25 sort of a thin anime boy
fact
3:14 The city of Townsville! Is now a medieval setting with a talking piece of wood...
“I’m forever haunted by the evil I brought into this world” 😂😂😂 GREAT REVIEW❤
I think what's so weird about this is that Pinocchio is already a barely connected, barely coherent story when you're trying to deal with the original tale. So there's plenty you could cut out or change, because so much isn't connected to anything else. And yet, they seem to have assembled the story beats seemingly at random? Like so much comes out of nowhere and just... happens? It's so strange.
This is the best birthday surprise I could ask for right now, Phelous. Thanks! 😄
Happy birthday 😊
...fooooooooor yooooooouuuuuu
Hope you had a very Happy birthday 🎉🍰🎂
Happy Belated Birthday!
Possible theory on why they changed the horse's name for the international version: "Tybalt" is a prominent character from Romeo and Juliet, so it's possible they wanted the name to be more SEO-friendly.
Yeah, I always wondered qhy they naned the goofy animal sidekick after the villain in Romeo and Juliet
OH😂 oh course 😜
@@gracekim25 You'd be surprised how many hoops people with money will jump through because they think it will solve The Almighty Algorithm ;)
@@juliamavroidi8601 I know UA-cam comment sections are of course the appropriate place for this debate, but I will not stand for this defamation. Tybalt’s only crime was trying to shelter his naive young cousin from someone he had every reason to believe would screw her over (in every sense). I mean even aside from family feud thing, Romeo was an older guy with an infamous reputation. Would YOU trust your cousin to a guy like that?
I have no idea why a horse can be compared to a violent antagonistic Romeo and Juliet given that the movie‘s Tybalt does not kill someone for the sake of upholding family honour.
I cant believe you squeezed 40 minutes out of this. Kudos.
CA dig @16:46 while unexpected, was, well, *awesome* bahaha
A lesser man would hail the international Dub as the superior version, a chad like Phelan mocks BOTH
1:22 Too bad there's no Britannica DVD out there with purple Pat Morita asking "do you believe in wood? A man from Italy wrote a story about a wooden boy..."
Does anyone else notice that the white bird that hangs out with Lucilda looks a lot like Nigel from the Rio movies?
What baffles me is that despite being a russian movie, this does not even try to base the story on the actual russian book "knockoff" of Pinocchio, called Buratino (also called The Golden Key in western translations). That'd have been actually interesting as opposed to what we got...
*Sees stuff about Pinocchio: A True Story*
Yeah, I'm not gonna watch any footage from this.
*Sees that Phelan has uploaded a review about it*
...Dammit. *clicks vid*
Shockingly enough, this isn't the first time Jon Heder and Pauly Shore voiced together in a Russian made animated film. Something I think is called 'Sweet Monster'
And this is the story of how Pinocchio successfully manipulates the circus to commit crimes and make his boss take the fall. As the mastermind he truly is
13:52 Tibalt is a real successor for the Next Mutation Turtles.
Or the Charmed ones
It's a new way to avoid heroism
I think Pauly shore was perfect for this role! I mean he perfectly captures the wooden side of Pinocchio.
I, for one, am heartened to see that Pauly Shore didn't let his craft become blunted since his tour de force in Biodome.
2:28 A few words about Jordan Worsley - he is a popular russian youtuber english teacher, born in UK.
Pauly Shore is someone whose popularity we couldn't figure out then and we can't now. I have as good a chance explaining to my kids why he was a thing as my kids telling my why Roblox is fun.
The 90s is just hard to explain in general.
Pauly Shore's voice-acting method: If I sound like anybody else, how will they know it's meeeee?
Learned about this travesty of animation on YMS, glad you're giving it the ol' Phelous.
This is basically "Psychic Damage: The Movie".
"Pinocchio: A Psychic Damage Story"
I really love that ur reviews aren't just a recap of the film you disect it and give info we wouldn't really know
“The world’s one and only talking 420 puppet, Pinocchio.”

"he'd grow up to be a turtle."
Yup. Checks out.
Alright! Now we need at least 3 more Pinnochio reviews!
