3/31/2023 0 Comments Pinocchio story donkeyThe character of Pinocchio is the best part of the movie, and if they would have messed that up, it would have been a complete disaster. That’s what they want to see, and that’s what they get in this movie.īenjamin Evan Ainsworth provides the voice of Pinocchio, and it’s pretty spot on. It seems like nowadays, everyone has the rights to make their own version of Pinocchio, but it’s the Disney version that most people are familiar with and relate to. Pinocchio looks pretty much exactly like the character that we have grown to know and love. I’ll start off with the good stuff first. And Pinocchio’s death? If you are interested in that, I’ll discuss that in The Spoilers. The kids are still turned into donkeys, but it’s nowhere near as bad as the original, where that one kid wants his mama. ![]() The Pleasure Island scenes are also less frightening. As far as scares go, the Stromboli part is toned down a lot. There are some changes made to the story, which were less effective than the original. For the most part, the movie remains faithful to the original Disney version. So how is this live action version of “Pinocchio?” It’s a bit of a mixed bag with some good stuff and some bad stuff, but nowhere near as good as the original. ![]() I do want to make it clear that although the original movie scared the crap out of me as a kid, I still love it and think it’s one of the best movies that Disney has ever made. With Disney putting out live action remakes of their classic animated movies every year or so, I figured it was only a matter of time before they got to “Pinocchio.” And, of course, I was curious how the horror that I experienced as a child was going to play out. But that happy ending did not erase the image of seeing a floating and dead Pinocchio, and also knowing that no one went back to rescue those boys who will forever remain donkeys. The Blue Fairy shows up at the end and brings him back from the dead, and he is now a real boy, and everyone is happy. Queue the morbid trumpets to add to the horror. It’s finally over, and it looks like we will be getting a happy ending, but no, Pinocchio is found lying face down as dead as can be. They finally escape and are pursued by this nightmare of a whale in a horrifying chase scene. Then Pinocchio and his father are stuck in the belly of a whale starving to death and waiting to be digested. ![]() Then after their hangover, they are turned into donkeys, have their clothes ripped off of them, and then are shipped off to who knows where to work as donkeys! Forever! Pinocchio goes to Pleasure Island with a bunch of juvenile delinquents, where they smoke cigars, drink beer, and act like a bunch of jerks. Stromboli locks Pinocchio in a cage and tells him that eventually, when he has no more use for him, he is going to chop him up and use him for firewood! We also saw the bodies of ex-puppets chopped up and lying in a pile! The stuff that went on in the original “Pinocchio” was a nightmare to me.
