So this a third Pinnochio project?
The shitty Netflix animated one, Del Toro's stop motion one, and now this?
I'm pretty sure GDT's one is with Netflix. The movie with Pauly Shore was some Russian thing.

Everyone who keeps watching Disney remakes either in theaters or the D+ originals movie remakes.
There's the Italian movie from 2019 too, which somehow is also the second live action Pinocchio movie to have Roberto Benigni in it.
Lies in P but yeah what gives with all the Pinocchio adaptations, did it go public domain?
WTF I'm choking here lol
Eh pointless when the newest animated version gave us the "recently iconic" line:
"Father, when can I leave to be on my own? I've got the whole world to see."
"Father, when can I leave to be on my own? I've got the whole world to see."
IMO, Jungle Book actually blows the animated version out of the water and Cinderella was ok. Not a fan of the rest. And what's the animated Beauty and Beast doing in the pile? Someone used the wrong graphic.dat bubble
I know these remakes are popular. I'm practically a Disney adult. I'm aware. Those were good movies though (the originals at least). Who cares about Pinocchio in current year though.dat bubble
Yeah, that's definitely the box office number for the remake but Google uses the animated poster.

To be fair, a few years ago, people were saying who cares about Top Gun 2 in the current year. And now that movie made $150 million in the US.
Honestly just depends on execution more than gap between the original work.
I've read the original book so one simple question:
Will this version have Geppetto going to jail, Pinocchio murdering Jiminy Cricket with a hammer, and Pinocchio then getting hung from the neck until dead while a zombie girl watches from her house of the dead?

Just because you don't want it doesn't mean other people wouldn't watch it.
Original book's wild as hell. Pinocchio accidentally burns his own feet off in one chapter.
I'm hoping Del Toros version goes into the more darker stuff of the original story. There's also a Souls like game that's being worked on.
Now that I think about it, there's like 3-4 Pinocchio projects happening.

Yeah, you're getting jumped on for this and all, but that gotcha list lacks Dumbo and Pete's Dragon, two remake that were considered disappointments relative to their budgets. So obviously there are some Disney 'classics' that a lot of people aren't asking for, or at least asking for as much. But if this is just something they're going to shit out on Big D then it probably doesn't matter much.
yeah even if it's a mid movie it's D+ content that will keep some people subscribed so whatever. I think Mulan and Lady and Tramp were also underperformers. LATT was an early D+ only movie though. Lower budget.
I can't say I asked for Chip and Dale but I loved that movie
No way you expect a princess and the frog to do better than Pinochio. They should do both tho but I don't blame them for throwimg out Pinocchio. There is a reason why there are three projects in the works.
Whoawhoawhoa; Burying the lede.
PINOCCHIO SOULS!?
What the fuuuuuu--!?
Eh, I don't have a problem with this being remade considering all the Karma Houdinis of the original film.
Like, that movie is somewhat unsatisfying to me since not a single villain gets their comeuppance, even if just a slight one. I know that's kinda on-brand for old-timey Disney but that doesn't really give them any more points in that regard.

I mean one could make the interpretation that sometimes you can't get rid of every problem in the world, but that one must do their best to avoid being involved. I.e. taking a stranger's word at face value. Essentially taking caution for yourself.
But still, it did feel bitter that Pinocchio could have at least pointed out what happened. I mean Geppetto, was wondering himself before deciding to just forget about and being glad he is reunited with his son.
Surprised it's D+ and not in theater.
Also, I wonder if Pinocchio is like one of the most adapted story ever. I remember clearly seeing a live-action version in the 90s at the drive-in, and a quick search on IMDb shows hundreds of results.

While most of the live action remakes have done big box office, the ones of lower tier that are from less beloved classics haven't been nearly as successful (specifically Dumbo and Pete's Dragon). So it makes sense they aren't going to bother with a theater run since it'll probably be moderately successful at best since this definitely isn't in the kind of tier as an Aladdin or something
