Overview
If you hadn’t noticed, Disney has been on an absolute rampage of re-making their animated classics in “live-action” over the past few years. From Aladdin to The Lion King to Beauty and the Beast to Dumbo, they’re… y’know they’re doing it… for sure. Now, as they slowly run out of classics to remake, they’ve finally landed on one of their very first animated films ever… Pinocchio! As you might imagine from a 2022 remake of a movie from 80 years ago, 2022’s Pinocchio does raise some questions. Like To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to the Pinocchio remake! Like what’s up with the iconic Blue Fairy showing up for one scene and then disappearing forever? Why is there an extended scene involving horse poop? Does Pinocchio learn anything at all, or is he already perfect from the beginning? And if he already fully gets the difference between right and wrong, what’s the point of Jiminy Cricket?
