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
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.
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.
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.
I understand that for Westerners everything is Slavic = Russian, but the films about Buratino are not Russian, but Soviet. The Soviet Union united many Slavic and not only peoples. For example, a film with live artists was shot in Belarus. And yes, the story about Buratino has little in common with the original fairy tale about Pinocchio, it has a different plot and idea Привет, всем русскоговорящим!
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..
The kdrama Pinocchio was one of the first dramas I have ever watched. It has some crazy moments, but it’s still good and holds a place in my heart. The main FL is one of my favorite actresses as well!
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
@@DeeperIntoTheUnknown Well... if the fairy tale is part of the book, like Aladdin's, sure. But if a book is not meant as fairy tale, I don't think it should be considered one. You can say Harry Potter is a modern Fairy Tale, because it was meant as one (in fact people are still arguing if it is or not, despite the length), but Pinocchio wasn't meant to be from the very begin. It was originally just a short story that continued as a book after its success.
11:57 This is not Blue Fairy. The character's name is Malvina. She is completely different and new character for Pinocchio book and cartoons. She was introduced in russian adaptation of the book by Alexey Tolstoy.
@@TheJillers she's not a blue fairy. She's a character based on a blue fairy, but in this version she's actually a doll/puppet just like Pierrot and Harlequin, yet she managed to escape from the abusive puppeteer.
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
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.)
Little anecdote: I was one of the animators on Pinocchio (2012), in fact it was my first job in the field. I thought you were pretty kind to the movie, lol. Perhaps it's kind of okay when compared to many other movies you had to watch for this vid (respect, and also my condolences). Trying to tell the actual story of Pinocchio just doesn't make for a very cohesive movie, it's really all over the place. 'Our' pinocchio has a rap number in it though, so you know. There's that. Anyway, thanks for complimenting the animation! :D
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.
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.
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!
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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’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 :)
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.
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.
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 :(
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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
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
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
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!
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.
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.
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
The original Disney version for me is the best adaptation of Pinocchio. Sure there was much taken out of it to fit a proper running time, but what it offered was more than enough and it did add most of the big key elements of the story. Many would consider Snow White as Disney's gold standard, but to me it felt more like a trial run. This film is a prime example of the walk vs run saying, Snow White ran so Pinocchio could run. The humor got a bit better, the voice acting seemed to have a stronger direction, the animation is gorgeous even to this day, and in it's own bizarre way, the Disney film can be just as dark if not darker than the original tale; Pleasure Island I feel helps in that regard. Though I have seen Pinocchio much later in my childhood, it stuck with me when I first saw it and when I go one of vhs tapes at a flea market one day, I watched it more and more, until it became one of my favorite films of all time.
Im Mongolian so a lot of our media used to russian back in the days. Growing up i would mainly watch russian animations such as three bogatyrs, nu pogodi and ofc buratino. Rewatching Buratino at older age actually made me cry bc this movie was my everything when i was 6. Pierro was my goth awakening and i had a big ass crush on harlequin😭😭 The ending scene where they break the 4th wall and bid us goodbye whilst the irl actors laugh and dance in the audience still remains as one of my most bittersweet childhood memories bc i never wanted it to end.
Silent Night Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker is a very very VERY loose adaptation of Pinocchio, with Mickey Rooney playing "Joe Petto" and Pinocchio (called Pino) being a robot and an attempted rapist who humps the main character while screaming "I love you mommy". It has about as much to do with the original story as "964 Pinocchio"
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 😭
È incredibile che Pinocchio da semplice fiaba italiana è diventato un fenomeno mondiale/ it’s incredibile that Pinocchio from a simple Italian fairy tale to a worldwide phenomenon
Vero, spero che molti altri media italiani saranno potere così conosciuti come pinocchio. Fun fact: il gatto con gli stivali è anche da Italia, Straparola ha scritto questa fiaba. Ma io non capisco perché lo è spagnolo in Dreamworks, è illogico. P.s perdonami per gli errori, italiano è la mia quattro lingua
The adventures of Pinocchio was actually my favorite Pinocchio movie. Idk he actually looks like he's made of wood, and idk I liked gapetto in it as well.
If I have a nickel for everytime someone reviewed every Pinocchio movie, I have two nickels. It's not much but it's weird There Will Be Fudd just lost his title of Pinocchio aficionado after a two weeks because of you If any one is curious about that video here's a link about his ranking of Pinocchio movies: m.ruclips.net/video/c6IPiyHe1XA/видео.html
16:32 Oh yeah, the first thing you do after Killing someone is to eat a brunch, of course! Throwing that hammer surely takes some energy geez. 17:24 i swear that i though the Chapulín Colorado was going to appear in that scene and say "me!!" And Pinocchio says "It's the Chapulín Colorado!! :D" 18:44 i swear that guy looks like poppy the preformer, idk, i just remembered that
id love to see you do this with something like alice in wonderland, and other just widely known stories/fables/free domain stories. I really love seeing everyone’s interpretations in bite sized bits like this
I still love disneys classic version the best. Yes it have nothing to do with the book but since the book is just sick thats a good in IMO. Other versions i like are Del toros version. And the 1996 one.
at 7:40, the subtitles generally do not write anything about what Karabas said, "... bags of gold, His accomplice says that you will become richer than the king. And Karabas says that then he will then close the theater out of necessity.
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.
You missed one of my favorite versions. The 1967 East German one. It changes a lot of things and uses real marionette puppets and stop motion special effects. Also, Pinocchio is not the only living puppet in it. I also consider myself somewhat of a pinocchio expert and the 1967 is a very fun watch.
I seem to recall a live-action "PInocchio" from the...late 70's/early 80's maybe? I want to say Jim Henson was involved, but this was way before the 1996 film. Might have been a TV movie...or episode. The key scene that sticks out to me is when Geppetto is carving Pinocchio...he has just a very basic shape of a head with a very long nose. He cuts the nose down to normal size, then turns away to do something, and when he comes back the nose is long again. This happens a few times. I've been searching for this version for years and have had zero luck. If anyone could help me out here, I'd be eternally grateful.
faerie tale theatres Pinocchio episode doesnt have this specific scene; but its the closest link i could find thats early 80s and is very very loosely connected to jim henson. if thats not it i wish you luck on your continued search!
@@mewtiny956 That's not the one, but thanks for the suggestion. I've watched so many versions trying to find it. I sometimes wonder if I imagined it...but I have such a clear memory of watching it on TV when I was little.

@@geoffreyrichards6079
Also true.
@@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
But Pinocchio's a fairy tale. Can't a fairy tale come out of a book?
@@DeeperIntoTheUnknown
Well... if the fairy tale is part of the book, like Aladdin's, sure.
But if a book is not meant as fairy tale, I don't think it should be considered one.
You can say Harry Potter is a modern Fairy Tale, because it was meant as one (in fact people are still arguing if it is or not, despite the length), but Pinocchio wasn't meant to be from the very begin.
It was originally just a short story that continued as a book after its success.
18:35 fun fact: the kid who played Buratino actually voices the villain in the original dub of Pinocchio True story (2022)

Villain story arc
the 1976 Japanese Pinocchio series was huge in Germany. My mother grew up watching it and still holds the memories with it near to her heart
same here
11:57 This is not Blue Fairy. The character's name is Malvina. She is completely different and new character for Pinocchio book and cartoons. She was introduced in russian adaptation of the book by Alexey Tolstoy.
That is that versions blue fairy though.
@@TheJillers she's not a blue fairy. She's a character based on a blue fairy, but in this version she's actually a doll/puppet just like Pierrot and Harlequin, yet she managed to escape from the abusive puppeteer.
@@smart.but.stupid Malvina is a porcelain doll, not a puppet:)

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
Pinocchio: “I the MOST film adaptations of any fairy tale character!”
Cinderella: “hold my slipper”
Not to mention that Cinderella has many, many variants from around the world.
@@SlapstickGenius23 I've heard there's like over 900 variance
Technically, around third of soap TVs are Cinderella stories.
we got more cinderella inspired stories, not so many direct 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.)
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 !
Little anecdote: I was one of the animators on Pinocchio (2012), in fact it was my first job in the field. I thought you were pretty kind to the movie, lol. Perhaps it's kind of okay when compared to many other movies you had to watch for this vid (respect, and also my condolences). Trying to tell the actual story of Pinocchio just doesn't make for a very cohesive movie, it's really all over the place. 'Our' pinocchio has a rap number in it though, so you know. There's that.
Anyway, thanks for complimenting the animation! :D
È uno dei miei film preferiti dell'infanzia, grazie per averlo animato!
bro wthfrig the intro and merging of seperate pinochio clips is so good and ngl made me emotional WHAT.
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.
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
I don’t want to know how long this took to make. The quality just keeps getting better.
"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.
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
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!
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
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
This is criminally underrated
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 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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
Bro, you deserve triple the views, this was amazing
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.
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
Media: there is over 100,000 Pinocchio movies in history.
Hollywood in 2022: we’re only getting started!
The vibe of this video is like something that would play in a Pinocchio museum... In the best way possible.
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’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 :)
and now the video game Lies of P. based off the original Pinocchio novel by Carlo Collodi. 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.
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.
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 :(
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.
I had completely forgotten that I have seen that Buratino movie from 59 as a kid!
С танца Буратино в конце меня вынесло 🤣
Привет русскоговорящим в комментах))))
Welp, thanks for unearthing the Pinocchio 3000 memories I was suppressing. My therapist needed more material for my profile.
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.
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.
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:)

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.
Such an incredible, riveting documentary. Thank you for putting all this work in and presenting it to us.
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
It's hard to believe how little views this has, you did an amazing job
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
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
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!
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.
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.
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
Guillermo's pinocchio is so amazing I've watched it more times than i should have...but it's beautiful in so many ways
The original Disney version for me is the best adaptation of Pinocchio. Sure there was much taken out of it to fit a proper running time, but what it offered was more than enough and it did add most of the big key elements of the story. Many would consider Snow White as Disney's gold standard, but to me it felt more like a trial run. This film is a prime example of the walk vs run saying, Snow White ran so Pinocchio could run. The humor got a bit better, the voice acting seemed to have a stronger direction, the animation is gorgeous even to this day, and in it's own bizarre way, the Disney film can be just as dark if not darker than the original tale; Pleasure Island I feel helps in that regard. Though I have seen Pinocchio much later in my childhood, it stuck with me when I first saw it and when I go one of vhs tapes at a flea market one day, I watched it more and more, until it became one of my favorite films of all time.
Im Mongolian so a lot of our media used to russian back in the days.
Growing up i would mainly watch russian animations such as three bogatyrs, nu pogodi and ofc buratino.
Rewatching Buratino at older age actually made me cry bc this movie was my everything when i was 6. Pierro was my goth awakening and i had a big ass crush on harlequin😭😭 The ending scene where they break the 4th wall and bid us goodbye whilst the irl actors laugh and dance in the audience still remains as one of my most bittersweet childhood memories bc i never wanted it to end.
❤
I think this is the first time I've ever heard someone call the public domain "depraved."
It’s insane how many Pinocchio films there are 👁️👁️
The production value and editing of this video is better than like, 91% of the movies here. Incredible.
Silent Night Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker is a very very VERY loose adaptation of Pinocchio, with Mickey Rooney playing "Joe Petto" and Pinocchio (called Pino) being a robot and an attempted rapist who humps the main character while screaming "I love you mommy". It has about as much to do with the original story as "964 Pinocchio"
Im italian and let me tell you that Pinocchio by Benigni is actually ALOT better in italian so if you can watch it in original but subbed.
"Pinocchio will return"
And just like that, i had to subscribe to your channel mister.
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 😭
You know actually likes the live-action Pinocchio 2022 because the animal designs looks straight out of the original movie
È incredibile che Pinocchio da semplice fiaba italiana è diventato un fenomeno mondiale/ it’s incredibile that Pinocchio from a simple Italian fairy tale to a worldwide phenomenon
Vero, spero che molti altri media italiani saranno potere così conosciuti come pinocchio. Fun fact: il gatto con gli stivali è anche da Italia, Straparola ha scritto questa fiaba. Ma io non capisco perché lo è spagnolo in Dreamworks, è illogico.
P.s perdonami per gli errori, italiano è la mia quattro lingua

“Released in the same year as Ronald Raegan” is not a sentence I ever thought I’d hear

The adventures of Pinocchio was actually my favorite Pinocchio movie. Idk he actually looks like he's made of wood, and idk I liked gapetto in it as well.
Got this recommended to me after Del Toro’s win for his adaptation. What wonderful and perfect timing.
If I have a nickel for everytime someone reviewed every Pinocchio movie, I have two nickels. It's not much but it's weird There Will Be Fudd just lost his title of Pinocchio aficionado after a two weeks because of you

16:32 Oh yeah, the first thing you do after Killing someone is to eat a brunch, of course! Throwing that hammer surely takes some energy geez.
17:24 i swear that i though the Chapulín Colorado was going to appear in that scene and say "me!!" And Pinocchio says "It's the Chapulín Colorado!! :D"
18:44 i swear that guy looks like poppy the preformer, idk, i just remembered that
I don’t care that they’re all basically the same story, I want to watch all of these now.
"released in the same year as ronald regan" is by far one of the funniest things that has ever been said
Wow I'm impressed you put yourself through this. Great video!
id love to see you do this with something like alice in wonderland, and other just widely known stories/fables/free domain stories. I really love seeing everyone’s interpretations in bite sized bits like this
“Father, when can I live to be on my own💅✨✨?”
"I have a whole worldussy"
“Not anytime soon Pinocchio, your too, unusual”
Del Toro is a treasure, a fucking gem
I still love disneys classic version the best. Yes it have nothing to do with the book but since the book is just sick thats a good in IMO.
Other versions i like are Del toros version. And the 1996 one.
964 pinocchio honestly felt like a Psychedelic trip
I remember when I was in 4th grade my teacher once said that we were going to watch Pinocchio and instead we watched this madness 29:59
at 7:40, the subtitles generally do not write anything about what Karabas said, "... bags of gold, His accomplice says that you will become richer than the king. And Karabas says that then he will then close the theater out of necessity.
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...
You missed one of my favorite versions. The 1967 East German one. It changes a lot of things and uses real marionette puppets and stop motion special effects. Also, Pinocchio is not the only living puppet in it. I also consider myself somewhat of a pinocchio expert and the 1967 is a very fun watch.
I seem to recall a live-action "PInocchio" from the...late 70's/early 80's maybe? I want to say Jim Henson was involved, but this was way before the 1996 film. Might have been a TV movie...or episode. The key scene that sticks out to me is when Geppetto is carving Pinocchio...he has just a very basic shape of a head with a very long nose. He cuts the nose down to normal size, then turns away to do something, and when he comes back the nose is long again. This happens a few times. I've been searching for this version for years and have had zero luck. If anyone could help me out here, I'd be eternally grateful.
faerie tale theatres Pinocchio episode doesnt have this specific scene; but its the closest link i could find thats early 80s and is very very loosely connected to jim henson. if thats not it i wish you luck on your continued search!
