The "Pinocchio lies so his nose grows and he can escape from prison" is literally the Pinocchio joke in Shrek 2. You know. The one where he says "I am wearing ladies underwear!" and the nose doesn't grow until he denies his own claim.
Pinocchio does NOT intentionally grow his nose long enough by lying to get what he needs. When he lies to Jiminy to get himself out of trouble, his nose grows long and Jiminy says 'Quit telling those whoppers!" When he sees the key, he tells a white lie so Jiminy can get it and afterwards he admits his wrongdoings and his nose shrinks back to its normal size. There is no false/bad moral that lying gets you what you need/can help you, if Pinocchio had just admitted his wrongdoings to Jiminy in the first place instead of lying, the Blue Fairy would have appeared and unlocked the cage.
It's sad to see Disney parody and satire itself to one-up the company making fun of them. And then DreamWorks goes: "Fine, Disney. If you're not gonna try anymore, then we will. Here's _How to Train Your Dragon_ and _Kung Fu Panda_ "
The irony of the clocks and toys and not selling them defeats the reason why the Blue Fairy grants his wish for a child. The Blue Fairy brings Pinocchio to life to reward Geppetto for bringing joy to children through his toys and clocks.
No, instead of admitting his wrongdoings, Pinocchio lies to Jiminy to get himself out of trouble, which causes his nose to grow long. Then when he sees the key he tells a white lie to get it. Afterwards he admits his wrongdoings which causes his nose to shrink back to its normal size. Had he just admitted his wrongdoings instead of lying, the Blue Fairy would have unlocked the cage and his nose wouldn’t have grown very long. There is no false moral that lying gets you what you want.
@@dylansmith5206 what does Pinocchio have to do with politics? Its like saying how perfectly split a pizza is, then someone comes in with "just like the democratic and Republican party". Added nothing to the topic.
@@casbinwat Republicans revolve their entire personality around their politics, so they constantly shoehorn it into any errant discussion. It's quite sad, really.
Maybe the Disney clocks would've worked if they were, like, dolls. Because Gepetto is supposed to be a toymaker, and "my wife loved dolls" makes more sense than "my wife loved cuckoo clocks"
And also? They imply he doesn't sell his stuff?? When the whole point of his wish being granted is the fact he brought tons of children's joy with his toys
it doesnt even have to replace clocks with dolls, they could have just made it so there was this one clock that was really gorgeous and prettier than all the others, but its not for sale because he made it for his wife (or it was his wife's favorite, either works i guess)
Not to mention, making dolls seems like a way easier and more sensible method of adding those references. Just dolls of the characters, instead of clocks that incidentally have the characters pasted onto them.
"You know, my wife went cuckoo before she died. And that's why I make cuckoo clocks, they remind me of her." this would have been awesome backstory....
The live action Beauty and the Beast is NOT the same as their first one. They made the relationship between Belle and the Beast actually toxic in their attempt to make it not, because they completely misunderstood what made their original remake good.
Not just because they misunderstood, but because they were encouraging Emma Watson to shoehorn her perspective of a healthy relationship - one full of bantering and teasing - into a scenario which could easily turn abusive if handled wrong, and was only NOT seen that way originally because of an absence of bantering and teasing. Emma likes to disagree with her partners openly and get mad at them. Belle doing so makes you wish she had more freedom, and Beast doing so makes you fear he might hit her.
@@demo2823 Which, humorously, makes this one of the few cases where it is okay to blame an actor/actress for their portrayal of a character (since usually the actor/actress doesn't get creative input, that goes to writers and directors; but Watson got to have creative freedom here). But back to the main point, this is part of the problem with the live-action (quotation marks needed for Lion King) remakes. Getting people to work on them who don't respect the source material -- either the movie or the original tale -- and just use it to do whatever nonsense they want.
@@demo2823 if that's what they wanted to do, they did not portray it well... the turned beast into someone who doesn't actually show much care to Belle. Plus teasing banter normally comes after theyve grown closer, but they didn't really do that... Also what's with the changing of the library scene from him wanting to do something nice for her to just showing off? They took away key moments in seeing him improve and replaced it with more sad backstory so Belle would feel sorry for him and feel obligated to stay instead of because she saw the good in him and wanted to give him a second chance.
@@belles_library yes to most of that although I have to say that even though I initially thought they made Gaston better, my mother pointed out that what they actually did is make him closer to looking like a masking narcissist. His mask begins to crack the he gets rejected by Belle and her father, who are both very aware of his true self. The issue is that they forgot to make that clearer to the audience and so, since the Beast is so much more obviously abusive than he previously was, it ends up *looking* like Gaston is actually better than him even though what's really happening is that they now both suck.
Now, now, let's be fair here. They also used it for a brief two-second joke during Gaston's song. Clearly you're just a troll intentionally underselling how much Disney truly cares about taking advantage of underrepresented demog-I mean, "Implementing diversity in a respectful and creative way, and most definitely not doing the bare minimum necessary to receive accolades while pretending that they won't minimize or remove it when selling the product to certain foreign markets."
I understand that for the puppet, but for the boy? They could have just given him an actual glass. I only really noticed this when he actually drank the whole thing in a single sip.
@@CalebBurnsGamesDotCom thing is, its disney they do have the budget and time to get a puppet body to animate over to avoid the animation mistakes like the clipping n shit. but yeah the glass mug one made me fuckin speechless
The core flaw of this entire movie is that they removed the morality part of a story that is primarily a morality tale. You can't tell a morality tale without it having a morality element. If no one is good or bad, if no one changes through the story, then you can't have a morality tale. And if you don't change the story to accommodate this, you barely have a story. The major problem with this movie is that it's an 'and then' story. If you describe it, it's always 'and then this happens, and then this happens, and then this character does this.' There's no 'but then' or 'therefore.' There's no 'he goes to pleasure island and does bad things, but then people start becoming animals, therefore he learns that there are consequences to his actions.' Instead it's 'he goes to pleasure island, and then he has root beer, and then he turns into a donkey, and then...' Because there's no change in our characters things just happen one after the other. Nothing is because of anything else, things just happen. And that's all because you've removed the whole morality element of a morality tale and replaced it with nothing!
He learns that things which are Too good to be true are probably not true and what seems to be good at first is not the right thing in the big picture. He learns after deciding to become an actor instead of going home and having Geppetto confront the headmaster. When tempted to join Sabina and Fabiana's circus who are much nicer than Stromboli, he decides not to so he can find his father. Lastly, he learns that admitting your wrongdoings gets you out of trouble/can help you, not lying.
@@avivastudios2311 He learns that lying is wrong, he should have listened to Jiminy in not follow what Honest John and Gideon feel is best for him, quite literally A FEW MINUTES AFTER HE TOLD HIM NOT TO, and he learns not to fall under the trap of temptation when he declines Fabiana and Sabina's request to join their puppet show, though he would be treated much better, and decides to find his father which is why his donkey ears and tail fall off. For him being logical, he's weary of a complete stranger that just kidnapped him off the street, no duh, and then he suspects Pleasure Island to be more than meets the eye. These things also tell kids to be weary of strangers and to let them take you anywhere or offer you something, and things which are too good to be true/more than meets the eye are probably scams. I don't think Pinocchio being slightly less naive than in the 1940 movie makes this one bad.
22:10 considering Disney literally *owns the Muppets* they have zero excuse to make a puppet movie this awful looking, even if they just brought a couple people on to consult. Although god knows the Muppets deserve more screentime anyway.
I’m STILL waiting for The Muppet Show Seasons 4 & 5 on DVD. Disney was on a roll with releasing the first three seasons, then SMACK!!! Nothing. Back then I thought it was because of the Mark Hammil Star Wars episode gumming up the works with royalties and copyright laws. But now Disney owns Lucasfilm AND 20th Century Fox, so no more excuses! What’s the deal, Disney? Release Seasons 4 & 5! Not like you can’t afford it.
I have NEVER seen the original but I do recall the scene where Pinocchio became a real boy. It was such a genuine moment and the fact they CUT that is so tragic. It was so adorable and sweet.
In the remake, we probably never saw Pinocchio become a real boy on screen was because Pinocchio as a puppet was very cartoony. He stands out from the real humans. In the animated version, he could turn into a real boy without looking weird because everyone was stylized very cartoon-like. The filmmakers probably had to decide between casting a real actor, animating Pinocchio with realistic features, or have the audience not see Pinocchio become a real boy on screen at all.
@@ev_account I genuinely hate Pinocchio’s design in this movie. The stylized look of the original character just looks bad in 3D. The only thing I liked about his design was the detail of his little wooden donkey tail, but that just doesn’t make up for the gross flat eyes, and weirdly malleable face of the new version.
i just saw bionicpig's video on this movie, and apparently it's one of those "blink and you'll miss it" type things where he gets a vague design change where his legs slowly turn- well, not wooden at the last scene
As Italian, I feel deeply proud in hearing you praising the 2019 movie. It was made by Matteo Garrone, the same director who brought us "The Tale of Tales", and it shows. There's an undeniable charm in the way he directs fairy tales, turning them into naturalistic, surreal, visceral and artistic cinematic experiences. A new magical-realist turn on the genre. The weakest special effect is probably the one applied on the Tuna, who looks a little bit camp, but besides that it's one of the finest (visually-wise) movies Italy offered in recent years. And it's a fairly loyal, cynical yet nostalgically lovely adaptation. Plus it's one of the few adaptations who portray the Blue Fairy as she's described in the book. Edit. 500 likes?! Thanks! I didn't expect it. Maybe 500 likes means nothing for those that usually reach 1000 or 2000 or even more, but for me (a foreigner user who comments a video from this channel for the first time) it means a lot. Thank you again.
Not to mention giving Roberto Benigni one hell of a redemption arc. He was responsible for one of the worst adaptations of Pinocchio, but in my opinion was really good as Geppetto. I can't recommend the 2019 adaptation enough. A lot of love went into that one.
@@Laevateinn102 Yeah, that was the first thought I had when I saw the first trailer back then, and while Benigni as Pinocchio was cringey as f*ck, as Geppetto he gave a warm and genuine performance.
Tf is up with Disney taking responsibility/personal choice away from these remakes? First Mulan is no longer powerful because she worked for it, now Pinocchio is no longer good because he learns from his mistakes
It seems Disney no longer really tries to teach that everybody makes mistakes, and we're progressing by learning from those mistakes. No, many recent movies seem to promote the message that you're somehow born perfect as you are...which isn't really a healthy mindset to have.
It annoyed me how the Blue Fairy, the person who gave the puppet life with her magic, albeit indirectly, seemingly appeared surprised that Pinocchio was even alive. As if she hadn't intended to bring him to life in the first place. Then they were really driving the point that "Well you're not ACTUALLY a real boy..." (which was annoying), but then kept saying "but it's ok, it doesn't matter what's on the outside! It's what's in the heart!" So then why tell him he has to be unselfish, honest and brave in the first place? It's like you what him to be a real boy, but not really 😪
Del Toro's Pinocchio handled that idea much better by having Geppetto be the one who needed to learn what made Pinocchio real and a person worth valuing. Pinocchio's morality arc was still there, but was more focused on the mortality aspect and how to treat the life he was given and the people he shared it with. In that movie, both father and son acknowledging that Pinocchio is enough and doesn't need to change is genuinely heart-warming and thematically appropriate. If you're going to have it ultimately be that Pinocchio's final form doesn't make him any less human, the "real boy" conflict should absolutely be focused on other characters ignorance, or something Pinocchio decides HIMSELF doesn't prove anything, rather than a criteria Pinocchio is told he has to pass and is decided by outside forces, rather than himself. It takes away his agency.
At this point, I’ve already come to terms with Disney and what it’s become. The Disney I loved and grew up with died over a decade-and-a-half ago, and it’s never coming back. The company that exists today merely walks around in a skinsuit, *claiming* to be the same thing… but it’s not. Different Company; Same Name
This is what concerns me about The Little Mermaid remake. The conversation around it had focused so much on the race of Halle Bailey that if (or when) it turns out terrible, critics would most likely be labeled as racist rather than people accepting the fact that the movie sucked. Don't get me wrong. I think Halle Bailey would be great and I support shutting down racists. But this seems to me to be more a ploy to shrug off accountability than an actual push for diversity. Disney is not our friend.
The modern Disney way is to bait racists and sexists with their casting choices then accuse all critics of being racist and sexist when the movie inevitably turns out to be awful.
I honestly don't care in the slightest whose playing Ariel and think people should be far more worried about the script and story then anything. The track record of these movies has been so rough that no matter how good the actress is I'm not sure it'll be enough to save it. Especially since a lot of the story and script changes made in these recent movies have hurt the movies more then anything.
Honestly, a lot of the "criticism" is going to be racist. So, if you're not a racist, just ignore those comments about the replies being racist. Because odds are, they're actually right. Whenever they say "The critics are racist." I roll through the critiques and a lot of it has an odd amount to do with the race thing, sometimes being a little bit more overt than just your average "Why must they do this?". I really doubt that they're referring to ALL the criticism they get, just the racist ones. So again, if they say they keep getting racist "criticism" and you're not the one constantly bringing race into this, then they aren't talking about you.
she should have been cast as an entirely separate mermaid character instead of ariel herself tbh. that way her character has some identity instead of being a "palette swap". perhaps an entirely different story where she hears of the story of ariel and tries to get her happily ever after only to find out that life isn't always as easy as a fairy tale. maybe even deconstruct the "change yourself for a man you just met" lesson of the original.
@@seventeenseventythirteen7465 this has happened in Raya before. Trolls have driven Lindsay Ellis off of the internet because of a comment she made about Raya. Claiming that she's racist when she's not. That movie was really just derivative and unoriginal. But Lindsay and many others who didn't like the film for its poor quality were called racist. So I'm not sure if what you're saying is true
When the parts in the Teacher's Pet movie that spoofs Pinocchio are more faithful to the original than this movie, that's when you know this film is in trouble and those moments in that film were supposed to parody Pinocchio
What's disgusting about this movie, is that Zemeckis decided to work on this movie. After how Disney tread his own CGI studio Imagemovers who made "Polar Express" and other movies. After how Disney mockingly referenced to his CGI in Rescue Rangers 2022 + weak attempt at being a "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" clone ending up a licensed bootleg. Either Zemeckis was contract tied or had done a paycheck job. Seems like he doesn't respect himself... I wonder if there was some other actual true context why would Zemeckis do that.
Forcing a family to remove a temporary Spider-Man gravestone for a *four year-old child* might honestly be the worst thing I’ve ever seen anyone do ever.
Literally the only thing I will give this movie is the animation of Honest John looks great, I like his design, and Keegan Micheal Key did a great job voicing him. That’s literally it.
as an Italian, I love that you suggested Pinocchio’s 2019 version: it looks stunning and is as accurate as you can get to Collodi’s original novel so thank you!! also the costumes were temporarily displayed in a museum of my city and they look out of this world in person, the film really shines on ita costume design. great review of the garbage disney pulled out!
Y'know how the modern folk dislike personal responsibility? I'm pretty sure that's the whole point of this film. It's to remove Pinocchio's personal responsibility from the equation. Even though the whole story was based on learning the virtue of personal responsibility...***instead of being someone's puppet.***
@@lysfranc8782 this is true for the European fairytales but when it comes to stuff outside what would be called Western world they don't really. For an example in the original Mulan. The matchmaker it's not accurate to the Chinese culture, it's a mixture between Chinese and Japanese. In Chinese culture the matchmaker would just be a person that would try to make the both families agree with the wedding and what would be the cost for the grooms family. And it could be anyone: a family friend or even a family members. Another thing would be the time period. There shouldn't be fighting Huns but a precursor to the mongols while Mulan should fight for another nomadic clan that took control of North China. But I don't really hate that movie since it's not as inaccurate as the remake.
Disney seriously just needs to stop with the live-action remakes; nobody is asking for them and most of them aren't that good, and yet Disney just feels the need to keep pumping them out. They aren't all bad, of course, some were actually pretty good, but I feel like most of them were just pointless or worst than the original
I'm glad Disney remakes are getting more pushback. Their very existence just spits on the face of both the effort put into the original animated films and the art of filmmaking itself.
The original feels almost sadistic in a way? We’re no longer watching our hero learn from his mistakes, instead we’re watching a little kid be essentially forced into these increasingly horrifying situations that he obviously doesn’t want to be in.
The whole point of the movie was for Pinocchio to learn lying is bad and the remake literally has him lie and get rewarded for it. That's as misdirected as you can get.
A meta discussion of modern Disney is that you don't need a conscience, you know nothing and you shouldn't trust yours because you'll get kicked from school and kidnapped. You will get pleasure from someone else's choices for you but all the consequences are yours and you may or may not get to your goal...
imagine if the movie was made as much as possible with practical effects. Then, maybe somebody would have had the idea "hey, what if we make pinocchio an actual puppet?" but of course, that would have required effort and being capable of original thoughts
I think that this iteration of Monstro may have been inspired by Cetus, a Greek mythological monster. The proposed 14th zodiac (no idea as to why people only know of the 13th, they were created by the same guy at basically the same time) is either a whale/Sea monster, as the descriptions are inconsistent. No idea as to why make it based on Cetus though
Usually with consolations that are on the same cases as the zodiac but are not officially recognized is either they only appear for setter ares or because an older one already covers it’s time in the calendar
Having seen the animation and design on the Blue Fairy's wings, all I can say is "Hey Disney, Jak 3 called, it wants the glowy tentacle fey wings back."
The one--ONE--compliment I can give this "film" is that out of all the live action Disney remakes, this one at least gets the atmosphere right. By that I mean the world, visuals, and even the characters themselves scream Disney's Pinocchio. All the other remakes look so colorless and lack any personality that if you were to take out the characters, put shots from each movie together, and ask me to tell you what Disney world I'm in, I'd have absolutely no idea which one is which with no context. So there 2022 Pinocchio, I'll be the sad soul to give you your only win. I will now dip my eyes in acid to repent
Don't dump out that acid vat, I'll need to also dip my eyes after I also say that Pinocchio's donkey parts being wooden was a nifty addition. So that's two points in 2022 Disney Pinocchio's favor. It's still getting an "F", but it does have those two points.
As someone who absolutely loves the original Pinocchio, part of the reason of what made the original so amazing is the fact that its world is dark and HOW that changes Pinocchio's innocence and perspective. As you mentioned, Pinocchio already seemed to distinguish right from wrong, which kinda takes away his development and makes Jiminy pretty much useless. And bruh don't even get me started on Pleasure Island. The fact that they made the place seem less dark misses the whole point of Pinocchio's arc. It's where he loses his innocence, and really gets exposed to the consequences of doing bad things, which is why he must go in the right direction. IMO that contributes a major role in his character development. And the ending? Hell no
Teacher's Pet. Practically Pinocchio but with a blue dog. Just watch that instead or the 1940's Pinocchio or wait until Guillermo's. For crying out loud, wait until Guillermo's, it looks amazing!
I’m not even kidding, before watching the remake, I made a prediction Pinocchio would get bullied at school or something it just felt like that’d be the type of thing to happen that just misses the point of the story like these remakes often do. Honestly shocked I was kind of correct despite knowing how predictably bad these remakes are(apart from the jungle book i kinda like that one)
Yah know, the whole bullying thing could have worked, if Pinocchio himself decides to go back to the Fox on his own and then follow the original about him enjoying Pleasure Island, but nope.
In the 1996 version starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas, he actually did get bullied in school. However, it still handled the story better than this version.
i came into it knowing it would be bad trying to keep my expectations as low as i can and i was still really suprised which is actually very impressive.. not in a good way of course...
I thought everyone learned that making cgi fish would've been a terrible idea because of the cat in the cat remake. Apparently not. Also the movie would've been a great horror movie.
At least you could argue that the Pauly Shore version has a “so bad, it’s good” quality to it. Beneath all the bells and whistles Disney added to this remake, it still feels about as hollow as an actual marionette.
Disney has a huge track record of this kind of snubbing or tempting to snub other film companies creating films based off of public domain works that they are also making films off of Probably most notably and most egregiously is what they did to the stop motion British Alice in wonderland
I was personally shocked that Zemeckis was put on THIS remake instead of ALADDIN, which is SO much more his arena!! Crazy enough, BOTH 'The Adventures of Pinocchio' from 1996 AND Disney's own 'Geppetto' from 2000 are EXACTLY how he would do this story! One would be his dark and horrifying yet still cute where he's channeling his inner Tobe Hooper and the other a live-action Disney TV movie back when they knew how to make them fun, full of personality, and heartfelt;)
oh boy, if you only knew what happened in the book...you know the that whole thing you said about Pinocchio ignoring his conscience? yeah in the book Pinocchio smashes the cricket with a hammer in chapter 4.
@@kraftik5300 and not only turned into a full donkey but was sold to the circus and was thrown into the ocean when he couldn't perform anymore. Not to mention when he finds Lampwick again and sees him die in front of him
I believe that in the movie when Pinocchio ignores his conscience it was a reference to when he ignored The Talking Cricket in the original novel. When Pinocchio was being tricked by the cat and the fox, The Talking Cricket told him not to go with them or something like that. (The Talking Cricket came back as a ghost)
Oh man, I love that movie so much. It may look simple and the story is kinda slow, but I still love it! Probably one of the few Disney live action films that I like.
I hope Disney becomes a donkey for creating many BAD life action movies of their "original" movies. Disney only cares about their money and Mickey Mouse.
I think they forced the Woody clock in because of course Tom Hanks voices Woody - it’s dumb and I would think it would confuse kids that Woody’s voice is now coming out of the clock maker but something Disney has mastered is doing the dumbest surface level things and pretending it’s clever and deep
The fact we've reached the point where even Disney diehards are starting to have a hard time defending the Mouse House really goes to show how far they've fallen from grace
I didn't mind Cinderella. However, I've been really put off with the live-action remakes. What I saw of the Pinocchio remake was gross. 😞 It was all watered down to make it completely for babies. Thank you for discussing that. 😞 The Pleasure Island sequence also lost the point when they had girls joining the boys. The reason why it was all boys in the book and the original film was it was based on an Italian myth that lazy boys would become jackasses/donkeys in their next life and be made to work their asses (pun intended) off for all their life.
This remake mad me realize something: Since Pinocchio is a puppet, with no bones, flesh, or organs and is not a living organism in a traditional sense, then how was he able to turn into a donkey in the first place.
You know, I'd be fine with Pinocchio not becoming a real boy at the end if it was part of a point. Like maybe if it was to say that his actions and the conscience he devlopped along his journey that make him a real boy, not matter how he looked or how he was made. If we go with the hypothesis that Zemeckis wanted to make a real movie before disney went ahead and meddled, maybe that WAS going to be a message. But in the context of this movie, it just feels like they ran out of money before filming the final scene.
Actually this version of Pinocchio teaches perfect lessons. Nothing is your fault, lying is good, don't go to school and work, ignore your conscience, bad behaviour doesn't exist, and in the end, if you want a reward, just cry a lot! sounds like the perfect lesson for today to me.
Pinocchio’s lack of flaws is an insult to the original story. The entire point of Pinocchio is that he learns to avoid temptation and think about the good and bad of the things he does. These people making these remakes need to actually watch the movies they’re “remaking”.
i wouldn't mind remakes of the original source material instead of the Disney movies. like if they remade the Pinocchio novels from the 1900s where the wooden boy was a brat and straight up KILLS Jiminy Cricket
i actually had the idea of a version of pinokio where he is both adorable and intentionally creepy, starting as almost a robotic sociopath and learning to care, for example starting the coming to life scene with the puppet starting to move a limb slightly like the arm, confused and curious, out of opening and closing the hand learning that he can move the fingers separately, in awe over something so simple, you get the idea, with an endearing curiosity and a creepy self centeredness, like a sociopath, and learning, oh right, people has feelings too and your own curiosity should not hurt others, like a wood terminator lol
The most distracting part is pinnochio's eyes, they just look flat, like 2d animation on a 3d model, and move very unnaturally, and to make it worse Disney is capable of animating eyes very well
To be honest, making Pleasure Island Disney Parks, the cuckoo clocks scene and the fact this remake came out on Disney+ Day, September 8th really felt like some horrific reflection of the Mouse House because of their constant self-promotion throughout the 2010s. It was very problematic and I doubt Disney could scratch the whole mess off of their skin. On the contrary, I hope The Little Mermaid remake does something different than the 1989 original, by having Ariel(Halle Berry) get to fall in love with Eric after losing her voice within 3 days or else she'd turn into sea-foam after making a deal with Ursula, akin to the story which the OG film was based on.
I think what this movie along with the live action little mermaid should have done is been more faitful adaptations of the original version of the fairytales.
That one crying scene reminded me.of Tangled where Rapunzel cried a golden tear onto who's that guy? Eugene's face? Cause it's Disney and that was the connection I made lol
This remake is awful. It completely misses the point of the original. I made a list of everything I hated about the Pinocchio live action remake: 1. Pinocchio has the soul of Geppetto’s dead son. This makes Geppetto look even worse than in the animated movie. In the original I can forgive him his mistakes because I know he’s new at being a father and therefore doesn’t know yet how to be perfect at it but if he had a son before like in this remake, he should know that you have to take your child to school yourself! Also, this change makes Pinocchio look like a replacement which I hate. In the original he made him because he wished for a child so badly because he was lonely and never had one. In this version he basically wishes for a replacement son! 2. Geppetto still doesn’t take Pinocchio to school himself! Why don’t they finally fix that? This is one of the few things of the animated version that actually should be fixed! So why don’t they finally fix that? They should learn from the 2019 Italian version! 3. Pinocchio goes to school and is kicked out because he is a puppet. What????? Why?????? He should ditch school and go to the theater instead because he should be naughty at the beginning and make mistakes because this is a story about redemption!!!! Seriously, this destroys the entire moral of the story if he is completely innocent at the beginning! In this version it’s completely justified that he goes to the theater instead of taking the easy road to success! The entire moral of the story that you shouldn’t misbehave and should go to school instead of taking the easy road is lost! 4. He only reluctantly agrees to go to the theater, very reluctantly. Come on! He should be enthusiastic about being an actor and about taking the easy road to success! Here, he only agrees to be an actor because he had no other choice! The teacher even said puppets belong in the puppet show! So, he really had no other choice than to go there instead of going there to take the easy road to success like in the original! Ugh!!!! 5. The ballerina in the theater seems like his love interest! He is far too young to have a girlfriend and Pinocchio is a story about the love between father and son not romantic love!!!! And it should stay that way! This love interest only distracts from that and adds nothing to the story! It’s completely unnecessary!!! 6. He escapes the cage by lying! That’s a very bad moral! In the original he learns that lying is bad and that it doesn’t help him! Here, they make it seem like lying helps you out! How can you convey such a bad moral???? 7. He is captured to got to Pleasure Island and he only very reluctantly agrees to go with them! Once again, the entire moral of the story is lost!!!! He should at least agree to go with them himself and not say that he doesn’t wanna go there on the coach! like that he seems even more innocent! The whole moral is lost! He should change from a bad boy to a good boy!!! That’s the entire point of the story! Here, the development is nonexistent! 8. On the Island he disagrees with everything the children do wrong, and he refuses to misbehave! Like that he really doesn’t deserve to be turned into a donkey! And once again the entire moral of the story about misbehaving is lost because he doesn’t even misbehave! He is perfect at the beginning and perfect at the end! There is no development! 9. Stromboli is sent to prison and the ballerina takes over the theater. But I don’t understand for what Stromboli is send to prison because he didn’t really commit a crime! It’s not illegal to imprison a puppet so for what did they put him in prison? 10. He loses the ears and tail when he decides not to go the theater again but to search his father. Seriously? That’s all it takes to break the curse? In the original he breaks the curse by sacrificing his life for his father! Here, he breaks it by deciding to do something that he should do anyway and which he was already doing! 11. They find Geppetto before he is swallowed by the whale and he and Pinocchio are swallowed at the same time. Like that the reunion scene is not as emotional as in the animated movie or the book! Especially since they were only separated for a day not over a year like in the book or at least a few weeks as in the animated movie (because spider webs can’t grow overnight, he had to have been away for at least a few weeks). Like that the touching reunion scene is missing which is my favorite scene in most versions! (It’s especially touching in the 2019 version) Everything that is tragic is taken away especially if Geppetto was only in the whale for two minutes instead of over a year or at least weeks! 12. The story takes place on only two days! That’s too much story for such a short time! And besides they have no idea what’s the difference between narrated time and reading time! 13. And now the worst part: the ending! They messed up absolutely everything! Pinocchio doesn’t sacrifice himself for his father and doesn’t prove himself doing so! Instead Geppetto is the one who dies and is brought back without a proper explanation just by Pinocchio’s magical tears! Ok, first off, that’s stolen from tangled! And secondly, Pinocchio should die by sacrificing his life for his father to prove himself, become a real boy and break the curse! There is absolutely no reason for Geppetto to die and especially not to be brought back completely without a proper explanation!!! In the original the revival is justified because Pinocchio is transformed into a real boy because he sacrificed himself! Here, there is no real explanation how Geppetto was even brought back except through the tears which are now magical without an explanation! They messed up everything about the ending!!!! Everything!!!! You can’t even say it’s from the book, there it was completely different: In the book, Geppetto was only very ill, he never died, and Pinocchio has to go working to help him! Here, Pinocchio does nothing for his father! He doesn’t even save him from the whale because Geppetto dies, and Pinocchio doesn’t sacrifice himself! Ugh, this should be the great moment: this is where he changes and puts someone else’s needs before his for the first time after all he did! Here, this great moment is completely missing!!!!! This ruins the entire story! There is absolutely no development from a bad boy to a good one! 14. And he doesn’t even turn into a real boy at the end!!! Are you kidding me?????? That’s what the entire story of Pinocchio is about! It’s about a puppet who transforms in to a real boy because of his love for his father!!! How can you miss that??? How can you change something important as that??? At first I thought I could forgive some mistakes but not with that ending!!! After that ending I knew I hated that movie!!! It’s the worst live action remake ever!!! Edit: A couple more Things I hated that I forgot to add: 15. I also hated that They Cut the Song little wooden head because it's such a cute Song that Shows how much Geppetto loves Pinocchio and how much He wishes to have a son. The New Songs aren't good in my opinion and don't Show the Love of a father that well. 16. I also hated that The Scene where Pinocchio Burns His Finger was so short and was almost completely Cut. Because this Scene is actually symbolic: At First in the Story Geppetto saves Pinocchio by stopping the fire and later their roles are reversed because later Pinocchio saves Geppetto from drowning at the end. The book equivalent of this Scene is the Scene where Pinocchio Burns His feet Off and Geppetto Takes Care of him and makes him New feet. Then at the end of the book their roles are reversed and then Pinocchio Takes Care of His father. Disney changed the Part of taking Care of each other to saving each other's lives. So the Scene where He Burns His Finger is actually a pretty important Scene that is symbolic and it shouldn't have been Cut down so much. But then again the Remake also completely ruined the ending so the role reversal is completely non existent. Another reason to hate this Remake. It ruined absolutely everything!!!
It was neat seeing the pointless clocks but they really should have had him create clocks that depicted important moments with his wife and child.. it would explain why he wouldn't want to sell them. Otherwise it could have been random stuff lol
@@CinnamonGrrlErin1 See, now that's the real casting complaint people should be mad about. Not Halle Bailey just because she's black. But Melissa McCarthy because she's genuinely terrible. Halle Bailey is not terrible, she got the job because she had a great singing voice. Now, if Disney REALLY wanted to be "woke" (because apparently casting the best person for the job is woke all of the sudden), they would have cast a drag queen to play Ursula since that's what her original design was supposed to be based off of, at least in the Disney film.
@@seventeenseventythirteen7465 exactly. I'm more mad that Harvey Fierstein wasn't cast as Ursula than anything else (so far). He's already filled Divine's shoes perfectly in Hairspray, and he's a Disney legend in his own right. I don't really like or dislike McCarthy (I actually did like her in Happytime Murders though), but her character isn't supposed to be *funny* and that's the big problem. Even in her more charming moments in the original, Ursula still comes across as strongly malevolent.
Leave it to Disney to sanitize a classic even if they're sanitizing themselves. The scene of Pinocchio being thrown out of school may have been an attempt to reference The Adventures of Pinocchio (1996) starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas as he got in trouble with his teacher in that adaptation. Given the ending, I'm expecting the sequel to "borrow" from Filmation's sequel Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night. Thanks for alerting me to Del Toro's adaptation.
I guess fairy princesses aren’t allowed to be attractive to the masses any more. I’m sure that look will be all the rage at the bibbidi bobbidi boutique.
Making Pinocchio in the remake start off as an already well behaved character, who doesn't want to do anything wrong, reminds me of what they did to Ratchet in the Ratchet & Clank remake. I guess having your main character start off as unlikeable and making mistakes, is a bad thing now.
Okay. The teacher kicked him out because “puppets don’t belong in school”. There is a human fox and black shadow people. How is he an abomination when the world already have inhuman people!?
The most despicable thing about this horrible movie is the blue fairy was reduced to one scene because it's easier to edit her out when they promote this movie in other countries that won't accept her.
14:49 actually, this was the original ending that Pinocchio was supposed to have. They scrapped it because Walt thought it wouldn’t work. Too bad Disney didn’t see the memo.
The ending is even worse because if you look closely to pinocchio you can see he turning into a real boy, so why the narration saying something else when they left this detail?
Got to say this is my fav video about pinocchio, a lot of other people are being petty with some of their hatred for it but you are actually going into it, explaining why things don’t work more so
The reason this movie ended like this is DEFINITELY them trying to make it a potential franchise. Because there isn't a bloody original idea coming through that place.
I watched the italian version a few months ago with my mom cuz she chose to play it n it was wild, sometimes I facepalmed at pinochio but he was trying his best for Jepeto. It was interesting n the judge part made me laugh a lot.
I know Disney ain't dissing on my favorite soda, Root Beer, now are they? Tfw you go too family-friendly lmao According to Disney, even when you are a good person and do nothing, you become a jackass anyways. Good message, Disney.
The Fairie Tale Theater version with Pee Wee Herman and Carl Reiner was a better live action Pinocchio. A lot weirder, but given the story, it works well.
That’s weird. I remember SPECIFICALLY having written a comment where apparently Disney had a higher quality scene of Thor: Love and Thunder exclusive to Disney+, and left the lower quality scene to movie theaters and also the Blu-Ray possibly. However I can’t find it anymore.
