is pinocchio the worst disney remake? 🪵🦗🐴 (pinocchio 2022 review) 

I swear Disney lost their guts ~

@@maybe8985 couldn't agree more

seriously, it's like they didn't even watch or pay attention to the original

i swear, kids are gonna start being afraid that if they drink root beer, they’re gonna turn into donkeys.

I didn't watch it but damn I forgot how sensitive the companies are because of society being full of "cancellers" alright alright it's for kids yes but remember when there were guns and smoking in kids cartoons? and it wasn't cancelled by society?

It's almost entirely a reflection of how how hollywood execs see the rest of the population -- not as real people who appreciate all those traits, but as mindless consumers. I'm kind of more and more offended every time one of these comes out, honestly.

I disagree with you completely I think the best remake they did was The jungle book you know why because they changed that ending from the original which I appreciate that because the ending of the original movie was completely stupid

The remakes are awful, yet they keep making money. That's what Disney wants - as do the other entities that make reboots, sequels, etc. They don't take risks with new ideas, just recycle the old ones with existing fanbases.

To appeal to social justice warriors and to make money. Why else?

Not a liked opinion but the newer generation need a dumbed down version. I was just talking with some kids at work the other day and they said they didn’t like the animated movies only the real ones:( it was so disappointing to hear..

Thank you!!!

That's the main problem with these remakes. They're perfect and can never be wrong which is highly unrealistic to the real world. Yes, there can be external factors beyond your control but you also control yourself and the way your react to things. And there’s also the fact everyone makes mistake and that no one is perfect at everything you put in front of them. We all have to learn and grow to be the best version of ourselves and telling people that they’re perfect is disingenuous at best and toxic and harmful at worst.

That was my issue with "Tangled", too. The tone of the film was so 'jokey' that at no point did I feel that Rapunzel was in any peril with her Stepmother Gothel. She just seems like a kooky, singing eccentric that I never got invested in her story. By the end, I didn't really care and when Pasquale trips Mother Gothel, I felt that tiny element wiped away any of the pathos developed for his character. She could have easily just fallen and then it would have been poetic justice. It seems ever since "Shrek" arrived, Disney hasn't really understood their strengthens for storytelling and tries to shoehorn dull jokes wherever they can.

@@americantoycoon9206you might want to watch the series (starting with tangled before ever after) it gets pretty dark for a kids show. just look up decay incantation if you want to see what I mean

The old Disney 6-minute cartoons were definitely edgy by today’s standards. They showed characters like Daisy Duck pointing guns to their own heads in suicide attempts, teetering off dangerous cliffs, and nonchalantly using dangerous tools and explosives. On top of this, every other one of these shows seemed to have a “death” scene where some character sprung back up to life, making everyone happy at the end. It was a different era back then.

That's true, probably because the source material was dark in the first place for the majority of their films. Sleeping beauty etc.

@@queerqueen098 I have heard that before. Thanks for reminding me. I've never had the chance to watch the show, however. Disney classic animation has always been my marker for storytelling (I also create animation) so I'm critical when they fall short of the mark.

@guzita Yeah, because by not serving what the original did it's apparently that these remakes are mere cash-grabs. Guess Disney execs are lucky that the casual movie-goer is ignorant enough to fall for this trap over and over again.

I know! I know! How about creating ORIGINAL STORIES?!

I'm honestly afraid what they're going to do with the little mermaid

I heard they were thinking of a Hunchback remake. That one, I'm truly afraid of- I bet they'll scrap Hellfire, give the gargoyles more songs, make Frollo just a little racist, maybe a bit creepy, and make Phoebus some Mary Sue hot shot to make Esmeralda fall for him faster.

@@ravengyal well they are still doing it. Strange World is in like two months. We also have that Elemental, Elio and Inside Out 2. The live remakes however do feel like they were abit of a cash grab and disney never truly figure out of they want a shot for shot recreation or something truly different.

exactly !! like the entire point of pinocchio is that he’s a bad kid and he learns from it. what’s the point if you just make him all good from the very beginning ??

They had him make the right decision every time which defeats the purpose.

I Don’t Think Pinocchio Is that bad i like the Movie have lot Fun Watching this Movie I think some of you are over React and too Harsh of this Remake bc I like some this Disney Remake Movie My Favorite Remake Disney is Beauty and The Beast

I’m still disturbed they let people get away with a mass child slave industry…

Ooouch. This needs to be the top comment.

"2. The Blue fairy is supposed to revisit Pinocchio in Stromboli's wagon to explain how his nose works." Huh, no time for that in this skimmed rush to the end of a movie.

does this happen in the animated movie?

@@joshuanesbit yeah. That's what made the original movie so sad. Pinocchio died as a wooden boy and it was only geppetto's deepest wish that brought him back as a human.

I think it actually has more to do with today's social political messaging which woke Disney certainly is a major player in. If you just wish it so, then it of course must be true, such as with gender identity.

@@chrisb.1214 Let’s not kid ourselves, it’s both. The current Disney formula is: Laziness/remakes x sequels + Pandering to audience = ungodly success and *CHACHING*💰 Only Dis freakin ney can make that one add up..🤦🏼‍♀️

There's also a Pinocchio movie from 2019 (An Italian movie) That I've heard is good but yeh excited for Guilermo Del Toro's

I'm so glad you said that: I heard and was hyped that Del Toro was doing a version, and was afraid that THIS was it! Phew 😅

This is how Disney tricks people into going to the remix. They hire a well-known Director to make it, but they basically put so many restrictions on the Director leaving little to no creativity for them.

This is why I really like the live action Alice in Wonderland. It was different than the original and wasn't a complete remake. It also had a darker vibe to it too which Disney is too afraid to do anymore

@@graffiti.777 I don't even really count that one as a remake because it's not a retelling of the original story it's more kinda like a sequel to it following Alice as an adult RETURNING to Wonderland.

That's what pisses me off about these remakes by Disney as of late. They're so needless and often bogged down with overly complicated garbage that the story doesn't need. It was done right the first time, Disney. Just release a 'Disney vault classic" edition or something and call it a day.

Of course most the clocks are Disney IP’s (intellectual properties) now. Kinda hilarious actually. It’s so obvious the Disney company are full of themselves and trying to sell their franchises right in our face. It’s a microcosm to the Bob Chapek era. Toy Story, Dumbo, Snow White, Maleficent, Lion King… even Geppetto’s clocks got the IP treatment.

@@frug5629 Society has reached such an absurd point of cultural & artistic bankruptcy, that you end up with things like this. A beloved family-oriented company like Disney, is down to cancelling itself through the vain venture of churning out remake after remake of its most well-know classics, in a bland, soulless, corporate packaging. Just throw a bit of Woke Powder into the mix and KABOOM!! All of the magic is gone.

@@rigelb9025 cancelling? woke??? why you just thrown in meaningless buzzwords that have no relation to the actual conversation? it’s a video about fucking pinocchio and you’re speaking like a Fox News presenter

Agreed! I watched the original film about two years ago and I'd forgotten what an amazing piece of storytelling it is. I watched breathlessly like a child wondering what would happen to Pinocchio next. The scenes with Lampwick changing into a donkey were marvelously terrifying! The scenes on the sea with Monstro were breathtaking and glorious. It's almost like the current filmmakers had no new vision for the film so they just piled more CG onto it hoping to 'hide lack of inspiration'. Tragic....

I started watching the 1940 one after this and yes even the puppet physics and water splashes just a masterpiece

Those water effects, and all the others (like the sparkles on the Blue Fairy's gown), were done by Joshua ("Josh") Meador. He was so good at it that MGM borrowed him to do all the animated effects in "Forbidden Planet."

Sometimes, feel like they purposely do stuff like that. “Let’s make a remake of an older movie and people will go back and watch original and then we will get more money from them watching both. Plus, if people make posts and videos that’s even more attention!”

@@rosymaze Like making New Coke so that the older formula of Coke rebranded as Coca-Cola Classic will experience an uptick in sales as well as prevent the brand name from turning into a generic term like Xerox or aspirin.

That will be much better

And it is, it is wonderful, one of the best animated film I have ever seen

It just won an Oscar 🤩🤩

It was amazing. Especially with pleasure island being a fascist school for young men (meaning that it took place around 1930s-1940s) takes the ‘boys don’t come back as boys’ to a whole new meaning

Tell that to the Lion King

@@juliamavroidi8601 to be fair all cgi animals do work out sometimes like in legends of gahoole

they did my girl Cynthia Erivo so dirty

Ditto, the Blue Fairy is such an iconic aspect of the original story, and they really did both the character and Cynthia a major disservice.

I thought The Blue Fairy would look like herself in the original movie. Turns out I was wrong.

This change also makes the Blue Fairy pretty irresponsible. In the original she would show up when Pinocchio was in danger to save him, actually taking responsibility for the life she created. She let him make his own choices, but when his bad decisions would go too far she would intervene. This Blue Fairy gives Pinocchio life and basically goes, "You're on your own kid."😑

She needed hair too lol

I think the expectation for Disney 'magic' has become way over hyped.

I agree. Disney used to give me that magical feeling but now when I see Disney, I don’t feel anything anymore. I’m also so tired of the remakes and superhero stuff.

My dad fell asleep through this remake, and he's a regular defender of these live-action adaptions. He found the Buzz Lightyear reference with one of the clocks to completely shatter the immersion.

It was lost in 2001, where have you people been? The Emperor's New Groove was the last true Disney masterpiece.

@@calebsanchez1988 Guess you haven't watched 'Lilo & Stitch'.

I agree except not sure where the “American dream” idea falls into this besides that it is American-made.

America made the old Disney films so America isn’t the problem obviously 😑

Spoiled, mean and a liar, if those traits have not been treated from childhood the person would grow into a rotten adult that no one would like to associate with. Am speaking from experience here, man they very salty, toxic.

@Fraction Facta This isn’t just an American problem. The problem is that it’s trying to get modernized. But yea I agree on the fact that Disney put no thought in this

@@Zamarae the way I see it, in “Pinocchio” from 1940 (and in the 2022 version even more so) Pinocchio is depicted as a good boy who wants to study hard but he’s a victim of mean spirited individuals who want to take adventage of him and stray him from the right path; in the novel, however, Pinocchio makes most bad decisions by (and because of) himself: he sells his school book to buy a ticket to Mangiafuoco’s show instead of going to school, he doesn’t want to work hard, he’s lazy and only wants to have fun. Also, in both movies, everybody is rich: the opening of the 1940 film shows Geppetto’s house with big rooms and a real fire in the fireplace, whereas in the original novel Geppetto was so poor he didn’t even have the money to buy wood for the fire and had instead painted a fire on the wall (so it’s even more significant that he decided to use the wood to build Pinocchio instead of keeping warm, and makes Pinocchio’s ungratefulness to his father’s sacrifices even more upsetting). As an outsider of American culture, it’s so blatant how their “heroes” are always kind-hearted and good from the start and are just victims of cruel people (on the other hand for example, in the novel by Collodi, Pinocchio kills the talking cricket). In both the novel and the movies Pinocchio redeems himself in the end, but whereas in the movies he does so by saving Geppetto from drowning ONCE, in the novel Geppetto falls very ill and for quite some time Pinocchio has to take care of him and work to earn enough money to support him: I think it’s much easier to “call a hero” someone who saves someone else from drowning (in a very hero-like, one of a kind, one chance in a lifetime kind of way), rather than recognize the merit of someone who for years puts the needs of a sick loved one above their own. Maybe “American dream” was not the right way to describe the “Americanization” that often seems to happen with adaptations from different cultures, but I hope you understand what I mean. For this story specifically, I believe that the contrast between Pinocchio’s selfishness, stubbornness and overall mean character, and Geppetto’s selflessness and unconditional love which eventually Pinocchio learns, is fundamental to get the message across.

Here they basically want to sell to the good modern catholic moms, who first check on their mommy Facebook groups if the cartoon is going to have evil sin and bad behavior. Someone think about the kids 🍺🔫🚬

@@ilpensatore1462 Not really. They're just not allowed to advertise guns, beer or cigarettes in a kids movie....

@@inventions178 I truly hate that society treats children like they're completely moronic. We watched the original cartoons while we were younger and they didn't turn us into chain-smoking, violent drunkards. People complain that the younger generation can't cope with anything while at the same time, seriously trying to make it so they can't cope with anything. (I'm 28 for the record if it helps.)

What SPECIALLY makes 2022 Pinocchio so bad is that the point of the character since his creation by Carlo Collodi is that Pinocchio is kind of a cunt half of the time. He's not necessarily evil, but just like an actual kid his moral compass isn't that well developed and so he gets tricked easily and also does some pretty annoying stuff from time to time.

@@inventions178 Pinocchio cartoon didn't advertise alchool and smoke Damn It the Kids turn in donkeys right After using those

But like he kinda does learn and change.

@@inventions178 and that was?

@@inventions178 Learn what? He's already a good little boy. A bit naive, but still a very good boy. (in fact, he's unrealistically good for a child). I agree with ModerGurlz, everything that happened was not because he misbehaved but because he was put by others in that situation. While in the original HE is the one putting himself in those situation by misbehaving, ignoring advice and being greedy. That is why the story in the original is much more powerful and much better than this joke of a film. I'm really disappointed with this lame money-grabbing remake.

I think it’s ironic that in a movie made PURELY a for money, Disney couldn’t afford to pay just one more actor for the last 15 minutes of the movie

No he changed into a real boy as he was walking with Geppetto

This is a perfect comparison between well-organized, thoughtful storytelling and lazy storytelling! It really makes a difference

I hate your pfp

That’s fair. They totally could have built him!

It's because puppeteers are unionized and cgi vfx artists aren't. That's why so many movies are 99% greenscreen nowadays, it's to save on money at the expense of vfx workers. The cgi studios are often forced into crunch as well

The Dark Crystal series on Netflix revived the Jim Henson puppets and blended it subtly with CGI and the results were BREATHTAKING! It was a true labour of love. It got soooo many accolades, and then what happens? They cancel series 2 😢 Even if you don't watch the series it is worth watching the "Making Of" just to see the puppeteers in action. They're so talented, funny and amazing! Such an underrated craft! Pinocchio would have been brilliant as a 'real' puppet!

@@wildthornrose YOU!!!!! you get it!!!!!!!!!

I think kids these days will be fine, animation still exists as the new Pinocho movie was 3D animated, just because something is 2D doesn’t mean it will be superior. The real issue isn’t exactly animation, it’s big corporate businesses making lackluster films for the sake of money. They are getting desperate and it shows, and I think there will be some shift from big blockbuster movies to individual smaller studios, just how Disney was back in the day. Studios can’t relate to what is new and original and just simply try to remake things that worked in the past. Also the problem with “animation only being for children” and that’s why companies can’t make something original or creative. Why do you think RU-vid is so popular among younger children? People put their art onto the world and get rewarded for it especially with animation side of RU-vid. Kids will find interesting ways to be creative, my little sister who is 7 loves to draw and make things, and she watches cute little animation stories provided from streaming services. And these old Disney classics can be played anywhere so I suppose that’s the best part as well.

Kids can ways watch the original movies anyway, they're not going anywhere

@@heyitsmira17 but are they watching them?

@@fabiofuoco depends on their parents ig

Hey man, the originals are still there and they can still watch them, just remember to tell them the crows from Dumbo are racist. Or better yet, with Pinocchio specifically I would say it's much more productive to read the book to them. It is genuine high art but it's still really funny and has a lot of valuable lessons.

The way they removed all of Tinkerbell's sass and temper in her movies irritated me so much. It didn't even make sense when she kept her original personality in the books those movies were supposed to be based on (if I remember right).

a reflection of the ppl who works and supports modern disney, all they are good for is to insult the audience

Tinkerbell isn't perfect at all in her movies. She's still jealous and a bit egotistical, especially in the second movie. They did tone it down a lot though, which makes sense because in a movie where she is the protagonist, and a movie made for kids at that, she can't be a bitch. They just take those characteristics and make them her downfall in the movies, ie. She always gets in trouble for being jealous, selfish and mean.

the tinkerbell change was actually for the better since the original peter pan movie treated her (and other female characters) in a such misognistic way. they made her a likeable character with an actual fleshed out story and good friends that dont treat her like garbage like peter pan does

@@babyblue3717 honestly the tinkerbell movies are great as its own thing. I don’t see that tinkerbell as the same one in peter pan tho.

Oh my! If you are so well versed in the 'how-to' of making productions, I highly recommend you get involved and make some stories! You seem highly passionate with a flair for detail. So why not? What's the worst that could happen, a bunch of criticism? Sincerely.

They built the most expensive rides at one of their parks ($500 million) and got all the money back in a few days on park tickets alone. They just recently raised their prices for admission this year. Walt built his parks with the philosophy of making them affordable to all families no matter what income. Can you afford to go to Disney? I can’t! Disney is an evil greedy company since Walt’s death.

Agreed! She didn’t even return at the end to turn him into a real boy a-la- the 1940s version Edited: 1940, NOT 1840

Disney had no choice it was clear that the rules of the company none of their projects will feature any reference to alcohol or beer because the last thing they want is angry letter from parents. But I do agree with you about exploring more Italian art and culture I did like the movie and I am looking forward to the other version coming from Netflix this didn't remake doesn't deserve all the hate is getting

Guillermo Del Toro will ramp up the horror factor--maybe show Lampwick's fate as he dies of exhaustion from work.

I’m still disturbed they let people get away with a mass child slave industry…

@@animezilla4486 which is why it is better for filmmakers to explore streaming services like Netflix. They are more open to original ideas and there is less studio interference, so they don’t have to worry about the company ruining the story.

@@devchekhov7512 right he is not scared to explore the dark themes in fairy tales.

I actually liked Mulan for those reasons 🤣 based on the comments tho, I am in the minority

@@jackyyrag So you don't like songs, find the new characters more interesting than the old, and want a power fantasy instead of an inspirational adventure. If it makes you feel better you are the minority being... focused on so there's no reason to care that most people dislike it.

@@helltaker6865 whoa idk why you felt the need to attack me for saying I liked the movie? And did not know about the concentration camps, thanks for letting me know

@@jackyyrag ....you must think you're soooo quirky

@@OReily08080 I'm too old for that nonsense, I was just sharing that I liked it 😭

Soulless is exactly the right word for these movies. The remakes, like Disney corporation itself, have a dollar sign where their hearts should be.

Quick buck has always been the thing Walts animators at the time had no choice but to draw frame by frame (thats why things were less detailed and shorter) I mean, Walt didn't even make Mickey, he stole it from the guy that invented Oswald bc they were friends. Walt was always a money/idea mooch

@@w_h_y1112 I had known about the steal, but forgot it in recent years. Disney carries the DNA of Walt in its soullessness.

The only remakes I love Is the first Alice in Wonderland. It is not a remake , but rather a sequel to the original story. I know It has it's flaws. But Tim Burton brought a more dark tone to the story. And it feels like it has a soul. Whereas these remakes are just useless. The only thing they do is that they are ruining the original fairy tale.

It’s for money but it’s also because copyright eventually expires and some of disneys work are getting old and they have to remake them to restart the clock on the copyright. Especially considering most of their works aren’t original but adaptations of works that are already public domain (fairytales etc) Somehow that makes it worse to me.

Ugh I know. What child is going to know who that actor is to find the reference funny? When movies do this, what relevance is a placement joke like that going to add 10 years later and onward?

I saw this with an 8 year old and after seeing the don’t worry darling drama so I was laughing at the “adult” joke

It was so bad and so out of the blue that it's the only joked I laughed at haha

I don’t know why I didn’t turn off the movie then. I hated that joke.

Thats it, its literally just a fucking joke lmao

Yep, rewatched the film last night, phenomenal masterpiece.

Disney is at beef with the US puppeteer unionwhich is also why they don't do much with the muppets ip anymore

A Dark Crystal styled Pinocchio would be really unique and interesting. The stuff people can do with puppetry is incredible and I wish more movies explored it.

*Muppets Pinocchio, with everyone being a muppet except for Pinocchio, played by a human, who turns into a "real boy", AKA another muppet, at the end. *Take ALL of my money.*

You should definetely check the italian version of Pinocchio made by Matteo Garrone in 2019. They made most of the caracters with makeup and very little cgi and Pinocchio seems so real. Might not meet everyones taste but there are many brilliant italian actors in it and it is quite enchanting.

I suspect it's also that there are too many with a say in the film, particularly corporate divisions. In the original, Walt Disney gave the directors the project and they ran things by him for approval, but they had the freedom to make something artistic and timeless and trusted the animators talents.

I KNEW IT LOOKED FAMILIAR WHAT THE HECKKKK

Oh yeah! I liked that part; it was funny!

So that is why I had the feeling like I saw that before

A similar scene was also used in Filmation's "Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night."

@@arnequis I've never watched that :o

You act as if the only things the kids did at Pleasure Island in the original was smoke and drink alcohol. In fact, in both the original and remake they steal things, insult each other, break things such as clocks and vandalize things. That’s misbehaving right there even without drug references.

They're never going to stop as long as they're making money

Maleficent didn't disrespect the original? You sure we saw the same movie? Maleficent was absolute garbage. The only fantasy film I've ever seen that completely failed to pull me in to the world. I actually saw it in theaters to boot. It's the most blatant anti-male woke BS Disney has ever made, and trashed just about every character. ... Aurora went from a character who, if a person cares to actually observe and interpret her body language, disposition, and actions, is smart, witty and playful. She had a deep sense of responsibility, and bravery to give up everything she knew and dreamed of for herself, to embrace an unknown life, for the good of others... to some idiot, aimless child. ... The Good Fairies went from selfless, loving mother figures, and true heros, to wishy washy idiots, who only undertook caring for Aurora because the King intimidated them into doing so. Will never get over how 'ground breaking' people try to say Maleficient is because 'mother love', when that is exactly what the Fairies did all along. They sacrificed their freedom to nurture and protect her. They rode the storm of her 'coming of age' moment when they had to reveal the truth to her, stood by her side through the fear of moving into a new phase of her life. Then in the finally, they risked their lives for her. Just because the kiss came from Prince Phillip doesn't change that their love was just as much what saved her. ... Maleficent went from one of the most badass villain in Disney, who was capable to long drawn out ventures of revenge just to prove she was not to be disrespected to... I mean, what did she even do? For a second she cursed a baby, and that was it. ... King Stephen and Prince Phillip were completely destroyed. The former went from a loving father in a desperate situation, to the personification of 'evil oppressive man'. The latter from a confident, battle trained Prince (as he would have been), to some clueless child. Watch Phillip in the original, absolutely suave in sing to his lady, and waltzing in the middle of the forest, and try to claim the bumbling kid, who is rendered unconscious and floated around the room does him justice. ... The movie was utter trash, and kicked off the 'have to tear down male characters to make female characters look good' trend.

@@saribeepo.o5111 I respect your opinion on the movie, and I agree that there were some flaws that could’ve been fixed. However, I personally liked the creative twist on telling her version and I thought that it kept a lot of elements similar. And in regards to it being “the most anti-men BS movie Disney has ever made”, you obviously haven’t seen the hot garbage that is the live action Mulan where it was literally bashing on men the whole time and got rid of her growth arc and basically just made her a Mary Sue. Don’t even get me started with recent Marvel cinema. But otherwise, I respect your opinion. In my eyes, I really enjoyed Maleficent. It’s personally just a movie that works for me. It’s okay if not everyone likes it. I just think that it’s intentions were far more innocent and were meant to expand the characters rather than just a cheap way to make money like recent live action adaptations are.

Maleficent? The bad Once Upon A Time ripoff that does NOT hold up to scrutiny and literally villainizes most of the original 'good' characters and makes Aurora a MORON in order to prop up Maleficent?

Cruella too. WE NEED more remakes with a different take instead of the old story being ruined with details that doesn't work

They want it to be realistic, and mature. I think it's passible to mature with your auduence, and make it realistic, but Disney remakes are doing it in the wrong way. You can be mature, and be colorfull at the same time. The two not oposits of eachother. Just look at Helluva Boss. And they don't know how to write realisum eather. In the live action remake of Mulan, they removed the songs, because they though it was unrealidlstic, when historicly speaking, it's not unrealidtic, but rather realistic. If we do reaserch we can find a lot of songs that solgers singed, when they preperd they weapens, and went to the fields to fight. This can be found in everywhere in the world up to WW2. And at least here in Europe a the people who worked in the fields, singed songs when they worked, because they were board whaile they worked, so to don't get tierd. (Sorry for the grammer, and speling mistakes English is not my first launvige)

What clock scene?

@@Alexandraadftxr7052 yes that’s right, honestly the issue with these live action remakes is that they make wrong decisions and for the wrong reasons. They change what worked and replace it to something mediocre or plain dumb.

@@Alexandraadftxr7052 Snow White movie with Lily Collins is a good example. I don't understand why colorful stuff are "inmature". It's even something I have seen these late years with musicians as well...everything colorful is "childhish". We are in 2022, in a world where pink and blue aren't seen as color assigned for a specific gender but what we are seeing in the entertainment industry is a bad message to children. For example, anime. They have a variety of color palettes depending of the scene, colorful scenes doesn't mean the story isn't mature.

Agreed. Alice was dark because they were at war and people were in danger. In the 2nd movie it was AAALLL COLOR pretty

Also the actress that played Mulan supports the police brutality happening in Hong Kong and people who live there were boycotting her and the movie

@@TC-wk8vq disney even thanked them in the credits

I kinda disagree I like the new ending the being happy with what you are not needing to change.

I was soooo MAD lol I almost threw my remote at my TV

The original is way better they didn’t even make Pinocchio a real boy in this one

Disney didn’t even make the scene where Pinocchio ‘dies’ in the live action, the scene was emotional in the original. But I really wanted to see that scene in 3D.

If you watch closely, as Jiminy is speaking the outro, Pinocchio actually does transform into a real boy (not like he isn’t animated anymore, he is, but his hinges and the wood lines are gone)

They even barged in a CHRIS PINE joke in there.

It definitely influences me to want to stab someone

@@darwincity the Chris pine joke was corny but effective. Get your nose out of the air

@@cafeAmericano I mean, it still makes no sense...Chris Pine? Why? It would have been funnier if they said a name associated with another Disney character, like Robin Williams or, wow, Toy Story reference AND pun, "Woody"

Haha my husband and I were joking that the behind the scenes for this movie is just Tom Hanks naked in a green screen room mumbling incoherently to himself. Everything, even the clothes are CGI 😂

Thank you so very much for raising the profile of this version. A great adaptation, and Roberto Benigni successfully gaining the forgiveness of the public through his touching portrayal of Geppetto, leagues ahead of Tom Hanks.

Dunno. People change. Feelings change. Life moves on. I honestly don't feel disney 'used' to be better. It's that we people have grown in our views, our tastes, or sight. And that we love our childhood memories :)

Watch The Adventures of Pinocchio

@@RozWBrazel I am so hyped for that movie. There's also that Lionsgate movie but I'm just going to watch it for the memes.

Beautifully summarized, thank you for sharing that!

amazing take on this. you should post this on its own!

It means to become a human with agency and self-determination who is capable of making informed an rational decisions and not being brainwashed or led along like an animal to slaughter. I see this happening with everybody that got Trump’s mRNA shot. They didn’t research it, they don’t understand a priori how dangerous the virus-like cell-invading technology is, they don’t know how little is known about it, and essentially they have bestialized themselves by submitting to it. It’s terrifying and in December 2020 I had a nightmare about being chased around a doctor’s office threatened with force to get it. It’s hard to explain... I felt like one of the rats of NIMH in a sea of regular lab rats.

For the people who've only seen parts of the Pinocchio film (the newest remake), I advise everyone to watch it. Everyone should watch it to form their own opinions about the movie because every part you mentioned was shown in the movie. Before watching this review and any other videos about it on youtube, I decided to watch the full movie because I didn't want anything to ruin my experience when watching the movie for the first time. After watching the movie, I read most of the comments under this video and realized that majority of the people are agreeing that it was the worst thing they've ever seen, but in my opinion, this movie was not as horrible as everyone is saying. The Pinocchio movie was an adorable and fun live-action using new directing choices that fit our time. I don't see it necessary to show the children in the movie smoking and drinking because the message was easily understandable without those scenes being included. The 1940 Pinocchio film, the 2022 remake, and the book were all made at different times and don't need to be exactly the same for them to be good. They are good pieces of work in their own ways. Different versions of the same stories and movies have been done over and over again for many years now with every version being written with tiny differences without removing the overall message. I believe that the actors chosen for this movie were great and personally, it reminded me of the 2015 Cinderella film because the visuals and music made the movie seem magical. This movie was very heartwarming, sweet, and visually striking. In all honesty, it does a pretty good job of conveying the messages of the original Pinocchio. I think this film does an amazing job and can stand alone without using any of the previous versions of the story as a reference. The movie was done well.

@@sashawhite2675 I would generally agree with you about avoiding reviews before watching something myself; I don't even typically watch trailers because I want to know as little as possible about a film before seeing it. I prefer to form my own opinions by watching a film myself in its entirety and in one sitting. But in this case I made an exception because I planned never to watch Pinocchio 2022 anyway. I've tried watching other Disney remakes and have recognized that I am simply and clearly not their target audience. All that said, whether or not any of us watched the movie, what Nym shared brings really great food for thought about the origins of this story and relevance to its contemporary audience. Regardless of whether or not a person has watched any Pinocchio movie or other, it is valuable to consider the why behind written stories and the context in which they were created. In my view, to acknowledge the beauty and pain of why we tell stories to begin with is a far more precious thing than critiquing how well or how poorly a cinematic interpretation was carried out :)

Disney has been capitalizing on poc and racism for a decade now. They think if they put poc (especially women) in their movies, it will distract people from their racist past to which they only took attention to when someone actually pointed it out.

Like she’s a fairy, she doesn’t go by human standards, so I agree. If it’s a fantasy character than idc what color they are

I think the issue is that there's been a repeated pattern of the cooperations using POC, female leads and queer characters as a response to any criticism that has nothing to do with the diversity in the film. It's sorta like this mix of gaslighting, bigoted machiavelian scapegoating. Bigoted in the sense that these cooperations use the suffering of marginalised characters for their own gain. Also, many of these characters aren't getting the same trestment as straight white characters do in terms of writing. So when ppl see diverse characters in the marketing they have low expectations, unfortunately. This can be fixed by writing good characters, and having stories that are so strong they don't warrant a fan backlash. There are bigot fans but they are in the minority. Most people are reasonable and just want good entertainment.

@@Mariathinking That’s also correct

And it's usually the same kind of POC racelift too, which is a whole nother conversation but just goes to show they're really halfing it and doing it to go "here happy?" When no one was even complaining in the first place

At least Cats and Dogs movie characters felt like they have emotions even though they're cgi. But the Lion King 2019 is an absolute snooze fest 😴

At least clay robots have charm

And they don't even care.

Is that the one with JTT?!

@@KatieLHall-fy1hw yup!

Or, if you can wait, there is the 2019 Italian adaptation by the director of Gomorra and with Roberto Benigni killing it as Gepetto.

That's the version I've been waiting for. ☺️

You lost me when you started your sentence with y'all

That was what ruined the entire thing for me. I always thought the story was learning to be a good human and him becoming real. Now that is thrown out? For what? He is still unique, why did they have to make that change?

I was only aware since I got ads for it

Beauty and the Beast is also my personal #1 Disney film and the live action version was infuriating. I only made it through the first song, turned it off and never went back. It was just too painful.

@@pamelalansbury94 It was really tragic. I made it about halfway through and turned the channel.

Honestly it doesn’t look that bad, and Halle has the voice of an angel

At least with Little Mermaid, Halle Bailey will deliver the vocals with the songs

Snow White is already scheduled for 2024 with gal gadot playing the evil queen

it won't, they have announced snow white, peter and wendy, and more

It won’t, but fortunately the next few remakes seem to be doing things differently. I really hope they remake Hunchback, because a live action musical adaptation would be INCREDIBLE.

Oh, you mean the one that has almost nothing in common with the animated version except for the most basic plot point and therefore shouldn't even be considered a remake, but rather an entirely separate adaptation? That one?

@@stevenhiggins3055 Right. It's an almost completely new adaptation of the same story, but really not a remake of the previous film. I think that's a big part of why it holds up so much better than the other remakes.

i honestly like that one more than the original, though both are great obviously

I really liked Maleficent and how it subverted the genre expectations. I have to say I do prefer the first Maleficent movie to the original Sleeping Beauty film mainly because it takes such a well-known story and gives it a new, more modern twist. Most people who said negative things about it stated that it is way too different from the original… isn’t that the point of a remake though? Why would you rewatch a scene by scene remake of a movie you’ve already watched. The second Maleficent movie was beautiful, although way more predictable, so I didn’t like it as much.

@@stevenhiggins3055 Yes.

RIGHT

EXACTLY

I wish we lived in that timeline 😕

Agreed

Nah Beauty and The Beast is only due to the fact they kept all the original songs (par one which they replaced) and added more songs to it. I love Cinderella but there are literally no songs in it.

People that worlednon these movies are still alive, and the y make 2D tests before 3D movie ( wreck it ralph, moana)

They were actually going to jumpstart a traditional 2D training program earlier this year, where older Disney animators would train apprentices, but it got cancelled 🙃

@@Chiwowza what?? i heard about it but i can't believe they canceled it...it feels like we're slowly losing a genre of movie nowadays and that would've helped A LOT 😩

tbh Atlantis would be a cool one to turn into live action

Not men, boys.

From the footage shown, some of the characters look okay but others probably needed changes in the design

@The Dark Overlord yup, but she is correct in saying other characters aren't well designed and animated, and that's basically objective the fact the cgi artstyle is not consistent. Pinocchio has actually not a bad artstyle, I wish it was the one used for the lion king for example, but it definitely doesn't look great paired with the fox for example. (Jiminy is atrocious tho)

Agreed, his movements were exaggerated and fit his character perfectly, shame the rest of the characters looked kinda meh in comparison

Am I right in remembering that Disney are remaking Robin Hood? Could be why so much effort was put into the fox, so the character could be re-used for that.

He looked great , Jiminy looked bad though

They didn’t do that bc people wouldn’t like him and he’d be considered unlikable for having flaws..stupid Americans

Wow, I never saw it that way.

I want to read that…

@@Killer_Doll415 Seconded

Thank you for the rec 👏

Top things that wasn't expecting to learn today: 1. This

Yes! I read the first volume and it was great. Also more heartbreaking at the end than I would’ve expected from the title.

They DO look like Heartless. Maybe this is in indication that we will be giving him his comeuppance in Kingdom Hearts IV? (Not to mention Jiminy Cricket meeting Jiminy Cricket!)
