Have you watched the new Disney’s live action based in their animated film “Pinocchio”?
Pinocchio is a story about an Italian fictional character that is a wooden boy/ puppet that became alive after his father/creator Geppetto wish to a star to make him a real boy, so the fairy godmother made him a wooden boy and tell him that he can be a real boy if he is a good boy and listen to his conscience, Jiminy Cricket.
The original story was written by Carlo Collodi back in 1883 and it was the second animated movie by Walt Disney after Snow White and the seven dwarfs in 1940.
The Walt Disney company has started few years ago to remake their animated classics into live actions, some of the best ones they have make are Cinderella (2015), Beauty and the Beast (2017) and Aladdin (2019)
The movie Pinocchio came out this September 8th in the Disney + platform and many people where waiting for it, but unfortunately it wasn’t as good as people were expecting, the movie has 5.2 in IMBD and only 30% Rotten tomatoes, for that reason many fans are saying that Disney should stop making live actions and just create new original content, although the company is working in many new live actions including “The little mermaid” that will come out in the summer 2023.
The movie Pinocchio follows a lot the same story than the animated movie, but one of the most disappointing things for the fans was that the song “Give me a little whistle” singed by Jiminy Cricket was not part of the movie, they also thing that they added a sad background to Geppetto’s story that was unnecessary and that the cricket in fact looked a little bit creepy.
Hopefully the upcoming Disney live actions can be better after the reviews from the fans after Pinocchio came out if they decide to keep making this kind of movies.
