Gepetto (2000)
Directed by Tom Moore
Music by Stephen Schwartz
Starring Drew Carey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Brent Spiner, Rene Auberjonois, Seth Adkins & Usher
This is basically what happened when i sat my friend down and she watched the Whitney Houston of Cinderella. The one thing she walked away with? "Victor garber can really pull off the color fuchsia!"
The Disney Pinocchio movie and in extension Gepetto is inspired by South Tyrol, a region which politically belongs to Italy, but has a large population which is of German descent, which explains the German architecture. It's not 100% accuarate (just like, says, Arendelle isn't 100% accurate to Norwegian culture), but that seems to be the inspiration
Strumboli's not a type of pasta, it's a type of stuffed pizza
Well, I'm knockin' it out of the park with this one!
+Musical Theatre Mash ... Stromboli is actually a volcano island. ^^
+galahad87 yes, that too
True
Well, Pinocchio's author is from Tuscany,Italy,so I'm pretty sure the story takes place in Tuscany
One of these days imma invest in a globe.
Fun Fact: "Professor Buonragazzo" translates literally to "Professor Good Boy"
interesting because that was like Pinocchio's whole moral dilemma
Guardgenie M "Professor Good Boy" would've been much easier to pronounce.
4:00 Schwartz has gone on record saying that he is very proud of this score.
I don't blame him, I think it's an excellent score and the whole musical has been very under-rated.
Dude... You know what you need to do now? The remake of Annie!!
Daniel Vanden Bosch Annie's an new adaptation not a remake
hey so im gonna need a broadway production of this with Dave Malloy playing Geppetto right about now please? thank you.
I love every song in this musical.
Seth Adkins, the child actor playing Pinochio, also played Pinocchio on an episode of The Drew Carey Show around the same time AND voiced the character for Kingdom Hearts. He was clearly typecast; perhaps it was his wooden acting. *rimshot*
I was actually in a production of Geppetto & Son in a youth theater and it was honestly one of the strangest experiences I've ever had. I played an "automaton" and a delinquent on Pleasure Island. I never knew this movie existed! I'm glad to know that this musical exists in some other form and I didn't just imagine it. Some of the music truly is beautiful, but it seems to largely be forgotten (like you mentioned).
I wish you were my theatre teacher , BIG TIME
I haven't laughed so hard in a LONG time as when I saw your facial expression as you were listing the cast, and you got to... "... and Drew Carey!" Priceless. Miscasting happens when someone who's popular or "hot" at the moment in something ELSE gets used in an inappropriate way - sadly! Thanks for your review. Yes, they're supposed to be in Tyrolean Italy! (It's the mountainous Alpine area in northern Italy near the Swiss border! Beautiful). Kids singing scares you? (Ha!) How about "Annie" or "Oliver!"
Hey Mr. Mash have you watched the Disney Once upon a mattress? I just watched it and would like to see you react to it.
Brent Spiner was the part that Diva gave a "Saving Grace."
I was laughing a mile a minute almost the entire time, your reactions KILLED ME! And yes that's Data/Brent Spiner! He's a super underused talent...UGH, he needs to be in more things. And fun fact , the professor is Rene Aberjonois ;) So basically it's a Drew Carey Show/Whose Line/Star Trek reunion everywhere!
I won't lie, I have an unabashed, guilty pleasure love for this movie, I always found it super charming. It's one of the better original works that Wonderful World of Disney and Schwartz did. Prince of Egypt is my favorite Schwartz work and would say, Geppetto follows very closely at number two. They're his most well written material I think, at least when you compare it to everything else he's written ;P I know Carey gets flack for doing this and heck, he even makes fun of himself for doing it, but I never understood the lack of appreciation for this movie. It's actually pretty damn good once one gets past the initial reaction that it may be silly. It's just a sweet charmer that gets it's point across and the parent/child relationship is the one that Schwartz writes for the best and it shows in much of his work. I'm now inspired to do that concert you mentioned! The truly forgotten stuff that no-one remembers but once they hear it, they go AAWWWWHHH!!
"MEOW!" - Colin Mochrie
i remember watching this as a kid; thanks to you it became so much more enjoyable
Too bad Usher hadn't participated in the soundtrack version of "Pleasure Island."
Even if this aged bad, I still think it has the heart it did when I was a kid. They where the kind of movies my family sat down to enjoy together as much as a Mary Poppins or Mrs. Doubtfire. ABC still should bring these back.
I remember watching this when it first aired and thinking it was okay, but I definitely liked the other WW of Disney musicals that came out during that era. You should do a comparison video of the three Annie movies!
"Buonragazzo" not blsrasfasa... You know what. From a guy that states that Stromboli is a type of pasta I can expect something like knowing that his name is "Good-boy" in Italian
3:52 Because Disney didn't get that in Pinocchio's universe all the Marionettes live, not only Pinocchio. That's why no one tries to take profit on this "magic"
at 3:40 ish you just explained the plot to Lars and the real girl. Its basically Ryan Gosling wiht
-with a blow up doll
7:34 Stomboli is not a Pasta, and is not even Pinocchio's true villain (whose are the Cat and the Fox): is am italian volcano.
What's your opinion on Repo! The Genetic Opera and The Devil's Carnival
4h45best Oh man! It's been years since I've made my way through Repo!. And this is the first I've heard of The Devil's Carnival. Maybe they'll have to go onto my list...
This is one of my favorite childhood movies...haven't seen it in years I'm sure I'd react the same way
Carlo Collodi (Pinocchio's author) was Florentine and the original story (1881) is definitely set in the newly formed Italy. Even if this adaptation "claims" its Italian setting, the production seems to have travelled up north, either to the German-speaking Alps or a very standard conception of Central Europe; apart from the mispronounced Italian names, nothing else is truly Italian in this tv movie.
Also, there's a small cultural literacy mistake: Germany is, mainly, of German ethnicity; Slavs are a Eastern European group from, per instance, Russia, Poland and Ukraine.
Please don't take it as a bad comment, I really enjoy your videos - I have just binge-watched around 15 videos of yours!
Keep being so great!
“They’re in... Germany?”
Italy, but I guess you aren’t _too_ far off.
“Somewhere Slavic.”
That describes neither Italy nor Germany, off to a great start.
R.I.P., Anton Yelchin.
I’ll have you know that this was turned into a children’s show called “My Son Pinocchio Jr.” which is 1. Interesting because that means there’s a full My Son Pinocchio and 2. I was Stromboli and he gets his own song which is garbage because you should never have a 7th grader sing Bravo Stromboli in a fat suit.
Don't forget Brent Spinner (Data) was also in Sunday in the Park with George.
One of those forgotten songs would definitely be DIY World from Spiderman Turn Off the Dark. It truly is a gem!
I just watched this episode of Mash, and I was kind of excited because I really love this musical, and I don't understand what you were trying to say. Now in the Lucy/Mame episode you made some excellent points and comparisons, but this really didn't seem to have much. The score is one of Schwartz's favorites, and I wish you had gone a different route with this video, offering some info. I like your show alot but this one came across as a bunch of bad jokes. Maybe someday you will do it over with some respect to the work?
"I think we're in Italy" O really? You couldn't tell by the fact that one of the character's names is PINOCCHIO?
The original story is Italian, you most likely found that out by now. The version of Pinocchio I remember other than this one is the 1996 with Jonathan Taylor Thomas as Pinocchio and scared me with the whale scene.
If the reunion of Van Dyke and Andrews happened:
Dick Van Dyke - Geppetto
Julie Andrews - The Blue Fairy
Johnny Carson - Stromboli
Robert Preston - The Ring Leader
Disney needs to remake this with Patrick Stewart, Audra McDonald and Jacob Trembley
I love this movie. Yeah, some of it is corny and whatnot but it's better than some versions of Pinocchio.
Please please do one of these for the 90s movie version of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The one with Donny Osment. It's so cheesy but wonderful
Italy! Pinocchio is from ITALY!!!!I was five when it premiered ad the special still left a mark on me.
I'm sure Matilda can't be anybody's nightmare.I love that darker interruption of Pinocchio.
Do you seen amazon prime's jukebox musical take of cinderella?
I was so mad that "Pleasure Island" didn't make it into the Super Bowl.
10:34 made my day haha
I forgot Brent Spiner played Stromboli in this. 🤣
according to my limited knowledge of italian, "professor buon ragazzo" translates to "professor good boy"
Collodi must be rolling in his own grave after all the horrible adaptations of his book :(
"There in Germany. Somewhere Slavic" Literally 3 minutes ago there was an Italian flag...
Lol I grew up with this movie, then grew up to discover everyone hated it XD
4:22: Nothing says evil like Data from Star Trek. Well, he's evil, so I guess he must actually be Lore.
I enjoy watching these out of order so I see all the referenced jokes coming together.
The set also looks like the same one as the Hat Market from Cinderella
I made a serious error in judgement listening to this at work, snorting and giggling everywhere
11:11 😂😂😂made my day
Didn't they change the name of this a while back? From Gipetto & Sons to My Son Pinocchio. Or vice versa.
agrahamofmeth Geppetto (the movie) came out in 2000. Geppetto & Son, the stage adaptation of this movie, premiered in 2006. After the original production, the name of the stage version was changed to My Son Pinocchio.
Bro, you can't tell me you aren't at least slightly drunk when you watch these. lol
JoshTheTheatreKid ....no comment. 😁😁😁
Is that data‽
Fernando Salvador It is indeed Brent Spiner.
8:02 "I'm Chris Pratt, I'll tame the Pinocchio!"
Aren't you a drama teacher?
Who has the most toys now Data?
R.I.P Rene Auberjonois
Have to ask, do you think you'll ever do a video on Hamilton?
DwRockett Not without seeing or listening to it first. 😊
Pinocchio is an italian
