You brought up very good points why this movie fails. Pinocchio in this movie isn’t a bad kid at all. He just goes through the motions and what’s even more messed up and dark is that he gets punished for doing the right thing like going to school and not participating with the other kids on Pleasure Island. It’s like the filmmakers didn’t want the protagonist to do bad things while forgetting that Pinocchio is supposed to do bad things. I do like the inclusion of Geppetto finding out Pinocchio was at Pleasure Island which explains why he went out to sea to look for him instead of him just being randomly out at sea in the original.
38:39 Playing pool was pretty much the same as gambling back in the 40s when this movie was made. You could only play it at bars which wasn't a place for kids and most Americans considered it a game for delinquents so it made sense why it was in the original movie. Of course it's out of place in the remake because we don't view pool the same way we did back then. In fact the whole Pleasure Island sequence is just wrong in the remake because it's modelled so much like Disneyland that one could think that the movie tells the audience that kids visiting Disneyland is bad.
They can’t make a movie about morals when Disney does not have morals. It’s like me making a movie about geology. No matter how much money you give me to make the movie it’ll be horrible because I have no interest or knowledge about geology
Just watch Teacher's Pet. Somehow that one works. Also, I can't believe they used a gag from Shrek 2 sincerely in this movie. Also, as a rowdy girl when I was a kid (though my mischief involved breaking pencils and chucking erasers) they executed the girls being taken to the island *VERY* badly. It's, like, an extra layer of creepy.
Yeah, my mom says Teacher's Pet is stupid, but it's nowhere near as stupid as this movie, and at least it actually teaches good lessons. I like to think she just can't get past the Gary Baseman-esque character designs.
Best analysis of why this pointless remake of Pinocchio (although 22:03, those puppets actually were French, not Latina), which I consider my all favorite classic Disney/animated movie of all time (to me, the original Pinocchio is absolutely perfect), fails miserably and a microcosm of everything wrong with modern Disney and their remakes. Even though I do appreciate the idea of including some other things, like Pinocchio spending time with Geppetto a few days before he goes to school, Geppetto having a backstory and him finding out about Pleasure Island (which could have worked if it were the Blue Fairy as the dove delivering it) the whole thing about peer pressure, but the execution was just sloppy and completely mess with the themes of the film. Even the remake's ending also seemed they were trying to also use an alternate ending that Disney considered originally using for the original movie, but they also managed to screw that idea up as well here, and Jiminy doesn't even get that badge! Fabiana and Sabina sounds more like they would have been in a _Pinocchio II_ if Disney had made a sequel during the 2000s, which probably also would have been just as awful. James 2:26 applies perfectly as well. 👍
Honestly, as an Italian, watching this movie I felt disrespected, outraged and cursed at. It seems like the kinda movie that someone that hates Italy would make. The original seemed like a love letter to Italy and it is still hailed as national treasure (kinda). Also, I know quite a bit about Pinocchio and how Italian culture influenced it (like how Mangiafuoco in the 40's adaptation is at most a caricature of southern Italians, as to why they changed him is beyond me) so feel free to ask
Jiminy in the original; Gives good advices to Pinocchio, is his friend and always there for him. Jiminy in the remake: Say horrible jokes and gives awful advices. He was a charming character with a big heart and here the cricket is really annoying and unfunny. Thank's for ruining him Disney 🙄
The scene where Pinocchio lies so that Jiminy can grab the key actually reminds me of the jailbreak scene from Shrek 2. There, Pinocchio gets tangled in his strings so Gingy uses his ever-extending nose to reach the locks.
At 17:01, the mallet looks fairly new and it has a drop of blood at the top. At 17:03, the mallet looks old and weathered, the blood is gone, and initials inside of a heart are carved into it. "C+H", it looks like.
They casted a black actress to play the blue fairy ( for the sake of representation ) ,cuted down her screen time significantly ... In the original film she had more screen time as well as purpose 😂😂😂 ... The whole " Stromboli got to prison " bit asides from being completely unnecessary dulls down a detail that actually makes the Disney version darker than the original tale. Near the end of Collodi's story human Pinocchio comes upon a deaf cat and blind fox , they're punished for scamming people by pretending to be disabled and actually become what they pretended to be ( the cat went deaf and the fox blind. ) Collodi's story ends with " Punishment and Reward shall befall you according to your actions,a path of dishonesty and trickery leads to misery whilst the path of hard work and honesty rewards you in due time ", Disney's 1940 Version by contrast has NON of the Villains getting punished subconsciously communicating to the audience ( especially little children ) that they're still out there ... Waiting for you in the darkest corner of the street,so be very careful unless you end up like the children on Pleasure Island
Great video. Also, thanks for the nod to your Christian faith as well, it's great to here someone just opennly talk about it as part of their over all character and morals.
14:09 Wow, I recognised it! That's Piazza dei Martiri in Naples. I use to go there rather often. It felt so familiar at first glance... (Yes I'm Italian). 20:35 Maybe someone has already told you this, but the lady in this scene is speaking Italian and says "Geppetto! Come stai?" which means "Geppetto! How are you?" Anyway, just another poorly conceived, poorly executed and poorly presented Disney live-action remake. As an Italian, I can assure you that all those 2022 Pinocchio movies were largely discussed here (wether in the good or in the bad). The least known one was "Pinocchio A True Story", which was talked about only by those who were already into the fruity Pinocchio meme and foreign animation in general.
Am I the only one who thinks Honest John's CGI design is the worst design ever especially coming from Disney? He looks like he's staring into my soul and I have to squint/close my eyes whenever I look at him and I actually like foxes.
I like the part of that Pinocchio goes into school by himself and Jiminy gives the closing speech to end the movie stuff. that make s good hishe. just avoid that honest john and Gideon bush stuff and headmaster stuff and that makes a perfectly good RUclips Pinocchio 2022 hishe
What effort? The ugly 3D for Jiminy is a good effort? Or the lame jokes the fox made? Or Pinocchio smelling horse poop? Are you sure you appreciate all this?
@@ladypool1404 yes I do appreciate I’ve always loved Pinocchio ever since they made movies of it I even read the books I don’t care on what they had to do for the styles and designs they still look very cool to me not everyone agreed what the other thinks that’s now how it works
I’ve seen the original many times before, and I love every single bit of it, including Geppetto’s collection of clocks, it’s just wonderful and I want all the clocks in the original, not the remake! 😂⏱️⏱️😂❤

Had a feelin it was the case

So they put this movie on Disney+ the same day Queen Elizabeth died.
I like to think this movie was so bad it killed her
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
Wait that means this movie came out the same day Sans won the Tumblr Sexyman competition!?

Wow I hope more people will see this, I didn’t expect to see so few views when I clicked 😳 great video, man!!

What you think of Stromboli?
Jiminy in the original; Gives good advices to Pinocchio, is his friend and always there for him.
Jiminy in the remake: Say horrible jokes and gives awful advices.

Here after watching your entire 6 hour GOT retrospective. Nice vid bro, great channel
You're making great content. I love your edits and commentary, keep it up!
The scene where Pinocchio lies so that Jiminy can grab the key actually reminds me of the jailbreak scene from Shrek 2. There, Pinocchio gets tangled in his strings so Gingy uses his ever-extending nose to reach the locks.
The scene with that asshole schoolmaster kicking pinocchio out, that was just straight up RACISM!!!

Hearing Kingdom Hearts ost in the background is very nice.
Glad i played it last year to appreciate it XD
Hell yeah to the shoutout to Cynthia Erivo being too good for this. Bad Times & the El Royale is wonderful.
This is probably the best review of this movie ever, it's pretty easy to agree with the fair opinions as well though that is just my opinion

Nice! Because I never finished the movie (I tried 5 times) and was really shocked when it appeared on my Disney Plus account
The Guillermo del toro version will always be much better than this.
Cool video, I hope you get more views
I see this movie as another example of "Oh no, you did nothing wrong, baby. It's this terrible system that harmed you" approach.
Great video.
Also, thanks for the nod to your Christian faith as well, it's great to here someone just opennly talk about it as part of their over all character and morals.

The least known one was "Pinocchio A True Story", which was talked about only by those who were already into the fruity Pinocchio meme and foreign animation in general.
this video is so underated it deserves more views
omg I am laughing so hard at that buff fairy🤣
The huge glass mugs of root beer look soooooooo fake. 🍻
This will definitely is be on to watch stoned off my ass list
Yeah but a flyer. Why are no police checking this out.
disney is beyond cooked
Am I the only one who thinks Honest John's CGI design is the worst design ever especially coming from Disney? He looks like he's staring into my soul and I have to squint/close my eyes whenever I look at him and I actually like foxes.
❤
Yikes 😅
Unrelated: but I cannot hear or eat Stromboli in my life because of the OG movie. 😭😊
I like the part of that Pinocchio goes into school by himself and Jiminy gives the closing speech to end the movie stuff. that make s good hishe. just avoid that honest john and Gideon bush stuff and headmaster stuff and that makes a perfectly good RUclips Pinocchio 2022 hishe
In my opinion it’s pretty amazing,sure they missed some important parts but at least appreciate the effort they tried to put in the movie it’s cool
What effort? The ugly 3D for Jiminy is a good effort? Or the lame jokes the fox made? Or Pinocchio smelling horse poop? Are you sure you appreciate all this?
@@ladypool1404 yes I do appreciate I’ve always loved Pinocchio ever since they made movies of it I even read the books I don’t care on what they had to do for the styles and designs they still look very cool to me not everyone agreed what the other thinks that’s now how it works
Genuine question, tho: what's amazing about it? It would be interesting to know a different perspective in more depth.
Why would you call that female teacher a "broad"? Sexism out of nowhere.

I’ve seen the original many times before, and I love every single bit of it, including Geppetto’s collection of clocks, it’s just wonderful and I want all the clocks in the original, not the remake! 😂⏱️⏱️😂❤
