The Pinnocchio anime means a lot to me. After the Islamic revolution in my country( Iran) there weren't a lot of children shows available. So the dubbed version of Pinnocchio anime along with a few other lesser known anime shows were all that we could watch. Just the theme song fills my heart with joy. It was the little bit of light that we needed in those times of war and oppression.
its crazy the sorts of, not quite meaningless, but irrelevant media that becomes important to people purely due to circumstance. i also grew up on a very limited fare of cartoons after the soviet collapse, so there are things i love that just...arent good xD but they were what i had as a kid and what warms my heart with nostalgia
Bc Pinocchio is flawless in the remake, it ends up feeling kind of…sadistic? We’re watching a sweet little kid be repeatedly tormented and punished for doing nothing wrong, instead of learning the lesson of changing your behaviour and learning from your mistakes. The message goes from “don’t be an asshole, make good choices” to “life is abject suffering full of people who only wish you ill because why not?”.
The original movie has this message too, however. In both versions of the film, Pinnocchio is literally born yesterday. The film's antagonists repeatedly take advantage of his naievete, the fact that he cannot sense malintent and his desire for fun, and use this to try to manipulate Pinnocchio to fill their own needs. There's a very good reason that you don't see adults working for Stromboli or turning into donkeys on Pleasure Island. Don't get me wrong, I hate the remake, but OG Pinnocchio doesn't have as much agency as people think he does.
Good reasoning, but I didn't see it that way: I saw the remake's Pinocchio as a good kid who just lets peer pressure get the best of him: several kids suffer from this in real life, so it's still a good mesage for kids nowadays.
Of all the Pinocchio movies you had to endure, A.I., Palme, and Del Toro are the ones that felt truly emotional in execution. A. I personally, is the saddest film I've ever watched, and like Del Toro's, challenges the message of becoming physically human when you feel, think, and act human. Palme does it too, though its a convoluted plot and amazing visuals, its ending is what felt the most emotional of all.
Yeah movies doesn’t usually get me emotional but Encanto and the Del Toro Pinocchio were two movies that did. The part where Geppetto’s son was killed and the ending where Pinocchio was watching every one he cared about pass away one by one. That definitely got me 🥺
Ai SHOCKED me and my family with it's truly heartfelt interest in the subjugation of puppets and robots. The scene of him sitting at the bottom of the pool.
Del Toro’s Pinnocchio, even if it’s not perfect, is the best Pinocchio film I’ve seen except MAYBE the original Disney one (and the Pinnocchio A True Story one for meme reasons). It just has so much SOUL, like you can feel the humanity of its creators behind it. It’s just so beautiful.
@@genyakozlov1316Disney made a few different versions of the story, by “original” they just mean the first one Disney made, not that Disney originally made Pinocchio
I think the one thing to say about Del Toro's Pinocchio is that it is definitely not the same character as in the book. Book Pinocchio did bad things and had to become good to be a real boy. Del Toro's Pinocchio was already good, the people around him had to accept that before he became a real boy. In that sense Disney's original Pinocchio adaptation and Del Toro's are enjoyable in their own ways.
Finally someone made this video lol I can confirm that most people in Italy love Pinocchio Realism 1972 as the "real" Pinocchio, people still love Disney's, but they make it clear that "this isn't Pinocchio" The 1972 live action version means a lot to me because my mom used to sing me Geppetto's Theme by Nino Manfredi (who also plays Geppetto) when I was very little
Interesting, I thought it was a really well crafted movie, the music especially was beautiful. Thank you for sharing, I must've listened to Gepetto's theme a hundred times while making the video, thank you for the new context.
2013's Pinocchio is so funny to me because of how his motivation to become human is... to be able to bleed. No, I'm not kidding. There's a scene where Pinocchio looks at a boy who falls down and gets a wound on his knee, and Pinocchio just stares at it with the most creepy look you'll ever imagine. And in subsequent scenes he always reminds the other characters that once he becomes a real boy, he will be able to bleed. I'm shocked that nobody seems to mention that when talking about that film. Was it cut in the English dub or something?
The 2019 Pinocchio played in the theater I worked at. Almost every family walked out in the middle of it. Had one family complain the “words didn’t match the actors lips” so I had to explain to them the concept of an English dub lol
I watched it in italian with my friend. It wasn't that bad, but it was surely fucking insane. We couldn't stop laughing at those anthropomorphic critters and animals, they were simply terrifying. Nevertheless there was Benigni in it, and as an italian I can't get angry at him..
A little detail that always bothers me: In any "Shrek alike" adaptation, *Pinocchio* is considered a fairy tale, but it's a BOOK, not a 4 pages long story or a nursery rhyme. And the same goes for Alice in Wonderland, but people thinks that since Disney made a movie about them, they must be fairy tales as well.
The same kinda goes for “Peter Pan”, “The Wizard of Oz”, and “Gulliver’s Travels”. Though given the sheer number of times they’ve all been adapted and changed, perhaps ‘fairy tale’ is a more appropriate description for what the original stories have since become.
@@geoffreyrichards6079 specifically the first quarter of Gulliver's travels. The rest is increasingly political and philosophical misantropy, which is very surprisingly cut from most adaptations

tbh I really love the level of creepiness of the 1996 The Adventures of Pinocchio movie, I always felt like that's exactly what a wooden puppet come to life should look like, it's definitely my personal favorite of the life action adaptations (with AI as a close second simply because I keep forgetting that it exists or is even a Pinocchio movie; AI is great but the visuals of the 1996 movie definitely left a greater impact on me)
Yeah same! I really like the 1996 adventures of Pinocchio movie too, I also grew up with the movie and also the 2nd movie from 1999, I don't care what someone says I like these movies haha
I also used to watch that particular adaptation as well. Feels underrated to me compared to some of the more well known adaptations of "Pinocchio", because it's not often I see people on the internet discuss or bring it up that much. (Of course I love the classic Disney animated version and Del Toro's adaptation as well, and I've only ever seen the latter twice as of recently.)
Guillermo's del toro, Pinocho is hands down the greatest....I've seen at least 5 of the previous one and omg terrible haha, Guillermo truly finished the story
16:20 had me rolling. Also its nice to see someone else who enjoyed A.I. I saw it as a kid and that movie took me on an adventure that I never expected
1972 Comencini’s Pinocchio will always be - to me - the best Pinocchio ever made. I grew up watching this amazing series. I think it captures the spirit of the novel better than any other adaptation, even with some changes here and there. Perfect cast and development of the characters; very clever way to solve the “Pinocchio problem”; Fiorenzo Carpi’s wonderful score (THE Pinocchio music, can’t think of any other soundtrack that’s as iconic and that fits the story and the characters as well as this one); authentic depiction of the mid 19th century rural Italy… Plus, it’s got this bitter sweetness that makes the whole thing even more charming and moving. I rewatched the series recently, shortly after seeing the Del Toro’s movie (which I absolutely loved, and got a solid second place in my personal Pinocchio ranking), and I found it even better than I remembered. I don’t know if you watched the full version (which is approximately five hours long divided in six episodes) or the movie-length one. If you watched the shorter one, I recommend taking some time to watch the whole series, it will be totally worth it.
Actually, if you read the book, Pinocchio is quite dark and "crude" in a sense, so the 2019 movie actually feels to me exactly how it feels reading the book
"Released in the same year as Ronald Reagan" is how I'm gonna start referring to dates now. The Godfather was released in the same year as The Rock. The production of Elf began the same year mine did. The Wizard of Oz was released the same year as World War 2.
I honestly loved the 2019 Italian live-action movie. It follows the book, and it's creepy and funny and magical like it should be. For those who don't understand Italian it's also dubbed in English by the actors themselves, therefore having a real Italian accent rather than a stereotyped one. I highly recommend it!
This is one notable instance where a one hour video flies by effortlessly and doesn't feel like it's that long to begin with. The pacing and general engagement was top notch so congrats for such an excellent video.
i’ve never seen such a high quality editing style!! aside from the editing itself, the way you format clips and transitions and input the overall style is perfect!! for a literal almost hour video discussing JUST about ( mostly bad.. ) Pinocchio lore & movies, you caught my attention for the entire time. you deserve more viewership! great work man :)
The YT channel "There Will Be Fudd" made a similar video analysis on every Pinocchio film or TV adaptation and I think you both did a really good job, thanks a lot! Very interesting to see all the different movie interpretations of the story.
The Russian one at 18:15 was my first introduction to Pinocchio but the one at 20:47 is probably my favourite. I loved to watch it as a child. The German intro was the best
Honestly though, this video is insanely well made and I loved every second of it. The pace, the humor, the editing, it made 58 minutes feel like 10. And I just think you deserve a lot more audience and subscribers. PS: Also, wth is f*cking wrong with absolutely everything about Pinocchio 3000, is just awfull, it hurts my eyes :(
This is legit one of the funniest videos I've ever seen. One of the most interesting too. "Tree of Palme" looks like something I have to watch even if it sounds boring, that animation is incredible-can't believe i've never heard of it before
jesus, thank you for talking about A Tree of Palme. I watched it recently with a friend and ever since I've been totally dumbfounded by how I could see something made with such impeccable craft and care, and still come away just. not having liked it.
Bravo. Absolutely wonderful look back on animation history through the lens of this puppet boy. And your love of Del Toro's (one of if not the greatest) adaptation of the story was the cherry on top. Thank you for all your toil and effort (and suffering most of these films) that went into this.
Del Toro's Pinocchio was amazing it's hard to believe it took them almost 15 years to finish but the end product was obviously worth all the hard work.
This was as good as watching any Pinocchio movie, maybe better in some cases, the Pinocchio wars as you put it, gave the character more depth than I ever imagined, awesome work!
Del Toro's pinocchio is just really something else, it deals with grief, and moving on, it also shows elements of a father's lost, and also shows lots of elements of manipulation, and anger, the original animation is ok, did carried my childhood, but Del Toro is just really at the top
I remember seeing that late 70s Broadway-style TV movie in the 90s! I wasn't aware it was quite so old. The show may have been over the top, but I remember delighting in the performances from Gepetto and Pinocchio. The woman who played Pinocchio, in particular, was absolutely adorable.
Pinocchio 1972 it's the one more appreciated in Italy for sure: wonderful soundtrack that truly represets the soul of pinocchio, Manfredi and Lollobrigida and the director is COMENCINI, who made L'incompreso and also a documentary about the condition of children in Italy. He was very passionate about children and narrating their lives and for this reason he probably made the most sincere, touching and realistic version of pinocchio. The actor who played pinocchio was very energetic, like the character he played. Everyone should see that version and, of course, contestualize it. I mean, it's obvious that some things feel old of the movie, like the old star wars movies or everything that came before the digital revolution in movies. I think it's a masterpiece that truly represents Carlo's Collodi idea, of the "discolo dal cuore d'oro".
AND I know it's impossible to understand for foreigners, but two tuscanian comedians made a version on VHS that became very famous in Italy in 2000. For this reason, they someway represent Pinocchio and Lucignolo for many Italians. One of them was also casted in Garrone's version as the fox. If you want, you should check it up, even though it's not even in clear Italian but only in dialect
I gave this vid an updoot before I watched even three minutes off it because I was so charmed by the way you edited the different Nochi's together in montage. The rest of the vid did not disappoint.
MAN, your video are acttually so fucking good, no joke i had to pause from laughing so hard, its incredible that i found a small channel like this, let alone stick around, keeep going man your videos are so goood
Great job! This video about Pinocchio's experience in cinema, TV series, animation summarizes the evolution of cinema and entertainment from his birth wo our days.
i never watched Pinocchio until Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio and it was an experience. never seeing Pinocchio until this one and it was amazing, amazing art, amazing voice acting, amazing story, just overall 10/10
wow you really opened up the deepest darkest part of my memory with those filmation pinocchio scenes, i had completely forgotten how much that movie terrified me as a kid (and now as an adult, thanks for that)
This video was made so well! I really appreciate how you can see you’re passion in what you do. Thank you for making this video and giving me the chance to appreciate you’re video making skills and dedication, that I can now appreciate Pinocchio so much more!
1st unoriginal comment Also, I really love Pinocchio and for me (mostlikely for the Italian author who was a freemason and was introduced to gnostic mysteries too) its a metaphor for Christianity/Gnosticism. Just like Adam was created from mud by a Creator, so was Pinocchio made from wood by its creator Geppetto in his image (a human boy). As people sin and do bad things, their soul becomes tainted, just like how Pinonnochios nose grows and he becomes a Donkey, moving away from the image of his creator. And only when he learns to be good he becomes enlightened and a "true" boy from flesh and blood.
The Nino Manfredi one, the Guillermo Del Toro one, and the Classic Disney one are my favourites, all for a different reason. The first one is the most faithful, has a great music score, great acting, and the realism is great too. Second one is a masterpiece, a nice twist on the story, great technique and cool nods to the original story. Third one is nostalgic.
AI is my favorite Spielberg film and probably the best handling of that material that isn’t directly adapting it. One of the most truly heartbreaking endings of all time. Del Toro’s recent attempt was very interesting and on a technical level pretty incredible, but there’s a few elements that hold it back a bit. The answer for me has to be the original Disney adaption as it’s hands down an animation masterpiece all around. It encapsulates everything that medium can be.
I had completely forgotten about the 1996 Pinnochio until this video! I absolutely LOVED it growing up (I was born 1993). If I wasn't so Pinnochio'd out myself I'd watch it now 😂😂 Editing to add, Pinnochio really is a national treasure of Italy. I remember when I went to Italy when I was around 12, we visited some family friends and one of the kids around my age was going to be playing Pinnochio in school. His family was SO excited.
On one of our favourite VHS Tapes my grandmother had had an trailer or an excerpt of "the adventures of Pinochhio" on it and everytime, my cousin and I (we were around 4-5 yo at the time) would hide behind the couch and press skip all the way to the ending bc it was so terrifying to watch. It just showed the creepy face and the movement. Man the nightmares of it were terrible.
Honestly, great job! I still have to watch Guillermo Del Toro's adaptation, but I'm looking forward to it. So far, my favorite one has been the second from Benigni. Being Italian and having read the original book, I actually liked how they kept faithful to the original media.
Just got this in my recommended and man what a ton of effort you've put into this! I'm loving the video so far, I subbed and can't wait to binge some of your other content

Honestly after seeing a million Pinocchio carving scenes from this movie, this makes me desire a Pinocchio Galatea crossover or something due to their similar origins.
A+ Video. Had me laughing out loud. Can't believe you actually went through all of those movies. On a side note, I love the Pinocchio 3000 film, probably cause I saw it for the first time when I was 8, although it is objectively pretty nuts.
Holy hell, my family had Animated Buratino on VHS when I was a kid. We lost it in a move and I've never been able to find it, online or otherwise. Turns out we must have had a bootleg copy, because I remember the scenes and recognize the characters, but I remember the colors being all washed out blues and greys.
I’m kinda loving how you reached the end and just lost it, become full puppet. Class! Thank you for all the research. That was genuinely fascinating. Can’t wait to watch Del Toro’s Pinnochio with my fiancé. Gonna miss out disneys I think. I hate the live action remakes. They are utterly soulless. Btw, I love your dry sense of humour. Makes for a great video. I look forward to watching more of yours x
This was a great video, but theres another video that was also made recently called "ranking every pinnochio movie" by, there will be fudd that can give you a different and maybe even a better take on most of these movies
I come back to this video every few months because it's just such an entertaining look at Pinocchio's filmography, and *every time* the MCU-style "Pinocchio will return" joke at 14:35 has me cackling 😂
As a kid, I watched the 1996 Adventures of Pinnochio live action movie dozens of times. Although it did creep me out a lot, I thought it was a beautiful movie. I'm so sad at how little of it you covered 😭
Interesting, good video. I remembered one Italian fairy tale, which, as it seemed to me, is quite popular. But in fact, I just googled and found out that this fairy tale has only 2 Soviet adaptations and also a Georgian television adaptation. This is Cipollino. In my opinion, this is a pretty good, unusual fairy tale. This is very strange for me, now it’s even hard for me to accept it somehow. Why hasn't anyone filmed it yet? And so, comparing different adaptations of popular fairy tales is quite interesting.

tbh I really love the level of creepiness of the 1996 The Adventures of Pinocchio movie, I always felt like that's exactly what a wooden puppet come to life should look like, it's definitely my personal favorite of the life action adaptations
(with AI as a close second simply because I keep forgetting that it exists or is even a Pinocchio movie; AI is great but the visuals of the 1996 movie definitely left a greater impact on me)
Yeah same! I really like the 1996 adventures of Pinocchio movie too, I also grew up with the movie and also the 2nd movie from 1999, I don't care what someone says I like these movies haha
I also used to watch that particular adaptation as well. Feels underrated to me compared to some of the more well known adaptations of "Pinocchio", because it's not often I see people on the internet discuss or bring it up that much.
(Of course I love the classic Disney animated version and Del Toro's adaptation as well, and I've only ever seen the latter twice as of recently.)
i love that version too ! i wish more people would give it the credit it deserves i had that movie on dvd when i was younger !
Guillermo's del toro, Pinocho is hands down the greatest....I've seen at least 5 of the previous one and omg terrible haha, Guillermo truly finished the story
bro wthfrig the intro and merging of seperate pinochio clips is so good and ngl made me emotional WHAT.
16:20 had me rolling. Also its nice to see someone else who enjoyed A.I. I saw it as a kid and that movie took me on an adventure that I never expected
1972 Comencini’s Pinocchio will always be - to me - the best Pinocchio ever made.
I grew up watching this amazing series. I think it captures the spirit of the novel better than any other adaptation, even with some changes here and there.
Perfect cast and development of the characters; very clever way to solve the “Pinocchio problem”; Fiorenzo Carpi’s wonderful score (THE Pinocchio music, can’t think of any other soundtrack that’s as iconic and that fits the story and the characters as well as this one); authentic depiction of the mid 19th century rural Italy… Plus, it’s got this bitter sweetness that makes the whole thing even more charming and moving.
I rewatched the series recently, shortly after seeing the Del Toro’s movie (which I absolutely loved, and got a solid second place in my personal Pinocchio ranking), and I found it even better than I remembered.
I don’t know if you watched the full version (which is approximately five hours long divided in six episodes) or the movie-length one. If you watched the shorter one, I recommend taking some time to watch the whole series, it will be totally worth it.
same
36:19, Ah, yes. Let us not forget Disney's Geppeto keeping a gun under his pillow to use in self-defense. Took me a few seconds to get that joke, lol.
I don’t want to know how long this took to make. The quality just keeps getting better.
Actually, if you read the book, Pinocchio is quite dark and "crude" in a sense, so the 2019 movie actually feels to me exactly how it feels reading the book
"Released in the same year as Ronald Reagan" is how I'm gonna start referring to dates now. The Godfather was released in the same year as The Rock. The production of Elf began the same year mine did. The Wizard of Oz was released the same year as World War 2.
Bro, you deserve triple the views, this was amazing
This is criminally underrated
Media: there is over 100,000 Pinocchio movies in history.
Hollywood in 2022: we’re only getting started!
I honestly loved the 2019 Italian live-action movie. It follows the book, and it's creepy and funny and magical like it should be.
For those who don't understand Italian it's also dubbed in English by the actors themselves, therefore having a real Italian accent rather than a stereotyped one. I highly recommend it!
This is one notable instance where a one hour video flies by effortlessly and doesn't feel like it's that long to begin with. The pacing and general engagement was top notch so congrats for such an excellent video.
The Adventures of Buratino (1975) really has its own style and the costume and acting of everybody really fits the world of the movie.
It’s the best of the buratino movie series.
i’ve never seen such a high quality editing style!! aside from the editing itself, the way you format clips and transitions and input the overall style is perfect!! for a literal almost hour video discussing JUST about ( mostly bad.. ) Pinocchio lore & movies, you caught my attention for the entire time. you deserve more viewership! great work man :)
The YT channel "There Will Be Fudd" made a similar video analysis on every Pinocchio film or TV adaptation and I think you both did a really good job, thanks a lot! Very interesting to see all the different movie interpretations of the story.
The Russian one at 18:15 was my first introduction to Pinocchio but the one at 20:47 is probably my favourite. I loved to watch it as a child. The German intro was the best
Honestly though, this video is insanely well made and I loved every second of it. The pace, the humor, the editing, it made 58 minutes feel like 10. And I just think you deserve a lot more audience and subscribers.
PS: Also, wth is f*cking wrong with absolutely everything about Pinocchio 3000, is just awfull, it hurts my eyes :(
This is legit one of the funniest videos I've ever seen. One of the most interesting too. "Tree of Palme" looks like something I have to watch even if it sounds boring, that animation is incredible-can't believe i've never heard of it before
Tree of Palme is a beautiful looking movie! If your attention span is longer than a few seconds you might like it.
jesus, thank you for talking about A Tree of Palme. I watched it recently with a friend and ever since I've been totally dumbfounded by how I could see something made with such impeccable craft and care, and still come away just. not having liked it.
Bravo. Absolutely wonderful look back on animation history through the lens of this puppet boy. And your love of Del Toro's (one of if not the greatest) adaptation of the story was the cherry on top. Thank you for all your toil and effort (and suffering most of these films) that went into this.
Del Toro's Pinocchio was amazing it's hard to believe it took them almost 15 years to finish but the end product was obviously worth all the hard work.
This was as good as watching any Pinocchio movie, maybe better in some cases, the Pinocchio wars as you put it, gave the character more depth than I ever imagined, awesome work!
Del Toro's pinocchio is just really something else, it deals with grief, and moving on, it also shows elements of a father's lost, and also shows lots of elements of manipulation, and anger, the original animation is ok, did carried my childhood, but Del Toro is just really at the top
It's hard to believe how little views this has, you did an amazing job
Such an incredible, riveting documentary. Thank you for putting all this work in and presenting it to us.
2019 was the most memorable for me. For a whole month me and friends kept saying Babo to each other after seeing it in theaters
I remember seeing that late 70s Broadway-style TV movie in the 90s! I wasn't aware it was quite so old. The show may have been over the top, but I remember delighting in the performances from Gepetto and Pinocchio. The woman who played Pinocchio, in particular, was absolutely adorable.
The vibe of this video is like something that would play in a Pinocchio museum... In the best way possible.
Pinocchio 1972 it's the one more appreciated in Italy for sure: wonderful soundtrack that truly represets the soul of pinocchio, Manfredi and Lollobrigida and the director is COMENCINI, who made L'incompreso and also a documentary about the condition of children in Italy. He was very passionate about children and narrating their lives and for this reason he probably made the most sincere, touching and realistic version of pinocchio. The actor who played pinocchio was very energetic, like the character he played. Everyone should see that version and, of course, contestualize it. I mean, it's obvious that some things feel old of the movie, like the old star wars movies or everything that came before the digital revolution in movies. I think it's a masterpiece that truly represents Carlo's Collodi idea, of the "discolo dal cuore d'oro".
AND I know it's impossible to understand for foreigners, but two tuscanian comedians made a version on VHS that became very famous in Italy in 2000. For this reason, they someway represent Pinocchio and Lucignolo for many Italians. One of them was also casted in Garrone's version as the fox. If you want, you should check it up, even though it's not even in clear Italian but only in dialect
Welp, thanks for unearthing the Pinocchio 3000 memories I was suppressing. My therapist needed more material for my profile.
The Adventures of Pinocchio has always been a huge part of my childhood. Despite how nightmarish it can get, I've always loved it.
I gave this vid an updoot before I watched even three minutes off it because I was so charmed by the way you edited the different Nochi's together in montage.
The rest of the vid did not disappoint.
MAN, your video are acttually so fucking good, no joke i had to pause from laughing so hard, its incredible that i found a small channel like this, let alone stick around, keeep going man your videos are so goood
Im so glad you blew up and appeared on my homepage, your videos are great!! Better than some movie reviewers with a million subscribers
The production value and editing of this video is better than like, 91% of the movies here. Incredible.
Great job! This video about Pinocchio's experience in cinema, TV series, animation summarizes the evolution of cinema and entertainment from his birth wo our days.
36:30 omg… i almost forgot this masterpiece film existed! They made a good job making this a Pinocchio movie but also making an original movie
Thanks for the dance montage at the end, it was truly harrowing 10/10
i never watched Pinocchio until Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio and it was an experience. never seeing Pinocchio until this one and it was amazing, amazing art, amazing voice acting, amazing story, just overall 10/10
Same
wow you really opened up the deepest darkest part of my memory with those filmation pinocchio scenes, i had completely forgotten how much that movie terrified me as a kid (and now as an adult, thanks for that)
"Pinocchio will return"
And just like that, i had to subscribe to your channel mister.
Great video.
geez homie you NEED more recognition for this
This video was made so well! I really appreciate how you can see you’re passion in what you do. Thank you for making this video and giving me the chance to appreciate you’re video making skills and dedication, that I can now appreciate Pinocchio so much more!
1st unoriginal comment
Also, I really love Pinocchio and for me (mostlikely for the Italian author who was a freemason and was introduced to gnostic mysteries too) its a metaphor for Christianity/Gnosticism. Just like Adam was created from mud by a Creator, so was Pinocchio made from wood by its creator Geppetto in his image (a human boy). As people sin and do bad things, their soul becomes tainted, just like how Pinonnochios nose grows and he becomes a Donkey, moving away from the image of his creator. And only when he learns to be good he becomes enlightened and a "true" boy from flesh and blood.
Damn thats a great observation
@@AlexBoucher thank you, and thanks for the reply, I really like your videos
I totally forgot about the Claymation! I am so I am so glad you reminded me of it. This is an excellent production.
С танца Буратино в конце меня вынесло 🤣
Привет русскоговорящим в комментах))))
Damn only 9000 subs, but probably one of the best video essays on movies i've ever seen. Thank you!
Wow I'm impressed you put yourself through this. Great video!
The Nino Manfredi one, the Guillermo Del Toro one, and the Classic Disney one are my favourites, all for a different reason. The first one is the most faithful, has a great music score, great acting, and the realism is great too. Second one is a masterpiece, a nice twist on the story, great technique and cool nods to the original story. Third one is nostalgic.
AI is my favorite Spielberg film and probably the best handling of that material that isn’t directly adapting it. One of the most truly heartbreaking endings of all time. Del Toro’s recent attempt was very interesting and on a technical level pretty incredible, but there’s a few elements that hold it back a bit. The answer for me has to be the original Disney adaption as it’s hands down an animation masterpiece all around. It encapsulates everything that medium can be.
this is such a banger video
I had completely forgotten about the 1996 Pinnochio until this video! I absolutely LOVED it growing up (I was born 1993). If I wasn't so Pinnochio'd out myself I'd watch it now 😂😂
Editing to add, Pinnochio really is a national treasure of Italy. I remember when I went to Italy when I was around 12, we visited some family friends and one of the kids around my age was going to be playing Pinnochio in school. His family was SO excited.
so glad you added the kdrama in here too! Was a pretty watch when it came out! GDP's Pinocchio was king for sure!
On one of our favourite VHS Tapes my grandmother had had an trailer or an excerpt of "the adventures of Pinochhio" on it and everytime, my cousin and I (we were around 4-5 yo at the time) would hide behind the couch and press skip all the way to the ending bc it was so terrifying to watch. It just showed the creepy face and the movement. Man the nightmares of it were terrible.
Honestly, great job!
I still have to watch Guillermo Del Toro's adaptation, but I'm looking forward to it.
So far, my favorite one has been the second from Benigni. Being Italian and having read the original book, I actually liked how they kept faithful to the original media.
Just got this in my recommended and man what a ton of effort you've put into this! I'm loving the video so far, I subbed and can't wait to binge some of your other content
Ух ты! Приятно видеть что русские версии оцениваются и в других странах. Мультик 1959 есть у меня на кассете а телефильм 1975 часто крутили по тв в моём детстве, да и песни оттуда детская классика в россии. Эти версии яркий момент из детства многих людей из стран бывшего ссср, не считаю их лучшими но люблю из ностальгии, здорово что о них узнало немного больше людей.
P.S. Девочка с синими волосами совсем не фея, у нас её зовут Мальвина она самая красивая кукла-марионетка сбежавшая из кукольного театра. Не знаю почему англоговорящее сообщество зовёт её феей, может дело в адаптации.
Мальвина не марионетка, она фарфоровая кукла:)
наше детство 🥺
ух ты
@@Nina_de_Nobili_4893 В фильме "Приключения Буратино", если помните, Артемон перерезает нити, которыми Карабас управляет куклой. Значит, скорее, марионетка. Во всяком случае, в фильме Леонида Нечаева.
@@alexandersedov9896 ну, в фильме могло быть и отступление:)
Да, конечно, я помню:) я каждый год минимум по разу пересматриваю фильм:)
"released in the same year as ronald regan" is by far one of the funniest things that has ever been said
I love videos like this, where someone puts their full self on display. It's very intimate, and it takes a lot of guts. I appreciate that.
Honestly after seeing a million Pinocchio carving scenes from this movie, this makes me desire a Pinocchio Galatea crossover or something due to their similar origins.
A+ Video. Had me laughing out loud. Can't believe you actually went through all of those movies.
On a side note, I love the Pinocchio 3000 film, probably cause I saw it for the first time when I was 8, although it is objectively pretty nuts.
Holy hell, my family had Animated Buratino on VHS when I was a kid. We lost it in a move and I've never been able to find it, online or otherwise. Turns out we must have had a bootleg copy, because I remember the scenes and recognize the characters, but I remember the colors being all washed out blues and greys.
I’m kinda loving how you reached the end and just lost it, become full puppet.
Class! Thank you for all the research. That was genuinely fascinating. Can’t wait to watch Del Toro’s Pinnochio with my fiancé. Gonna miss out disneys I think. I hate the live action remakes. They are utterly soulless.
Btw, I love your dry sense of humour. Makes for a great video. I look forward to watching more of yours x
I had completely forgotten that I have seen that Buratino movie from 59 as a kid!
i accidentally clciked on this and im not mad at it at all. this is so well made 0_0. Honestly man please keep it up.
This was a great video, but theres another video that was also made recently called "ranking every pinnochio movie" by, there will be fudd that can give you a different and maybe even a better take on most of these movies
I don’t care that they’re all basically the same story, I want to watch all of these now.
I come back to this video every few months because it's just such an entertaining look at Pinocchio's filmography, and *every time* the MCU-style "Pinocchio will return" joke at 14:35 has me cackling 😂
Such a fascinating look at all these different movies! I had no idea there were so many. Very entertaining video. It did not feel as long as it was!
i barely made it through this video i can^t imagine suffering through ALL OF THE MOVIES you only showed us snippets of. thank you for your sacrifice.
Guillermo's pinocchio is so amazing I've watched it more times than i should have...but it's beautiful in so many ways
wow man! this was so good!! i can't imagine how much time you put into this. well done!!!
i'm excited to watch your other stuff (:
Hats off to you for watching the hellscape that is Pinocchio movies, sir. At least Del Toro made if kinda worth it (?) ✊😞
Yeah, watching the Del Toro version was pretty cathartic. Worth it? I sat through Pinocchio 3000
What a lovely, humorous, whimsical video, thank you.
As a kid, I watched the 1996 Adventures of Pinnochio live action movie dozens of times. Although it did creep me out a lot, I thought it was a beautiful movie. I'm so sad at how little of it you covered 😭
man, i love your channel, hope the algorithm treats your videos well
damm you are underrated man , keep up the great work
I've Always wanted to see a video like this! Thanks for finally making it
Interesting, good video. I remembered one Italian fairy tale, which, as it seemed to me, is quite popular. But in fact, I just googled and found out that this fairy tale has only 2 Soviet adaptations and also a Georgian television adaptation. This is Cipollino. In my opinion, this is a pretty good, unusual fairy tale. This is very strange for me, now it’s even hard for me to accept it somehow. Why hasn't anyone filmed it yet?
And so, comparing different adaptations of popular fairy tales is quite interesting.
Guess there isn't many ultra-rich people eager to adapt a story that is all about criticizing them...
“Released in the same year as Ronald Raegan” is not a sentence I ever thought I’d hear
amazing video
