If “Pinocchio” achieved international fame and is still remembered today, it is thanks to Disney, which showed an innocent and naive boy living all kinds of adventures, and who finally achieves his dream of being a “real” boy. .
Guillermo del Toro put a whole new spin on this classic story, to the point that he was nominated for the 2023 Oscars in the Best Animated Feature category.
The many “Pinocchio”
Countless versions of Pinocchio have been made over the years, many based on the idea put forward by Disney, but the reality is that the original story of Pinocchio is far from being a children’s fable, and many believe that it should be more of a tale. story for adults
The creator of “Pinocchio” is Carlo Collodi, who created his character at the end of the 19th century, and showed it in installment format.
In the original story, rather than being innocent, Pinocchio is a wooden boy with a certain internal evil, prone to lies, and who gets into all kinds of trouble. Geppeto is a man who suffers from poverty and struggles to get food, as a reflection of the Italian crises of the time. In one of the parts of the story, Pinocchio is so cold that he goes to a fire to warm his feet, but falls asleep. When he wakes up, he has his legs burned.
In the original story, Pinocchio ends up getting fed up with “Jimmy Cricket”, and accidentally kills him by throwing a hammer at him. The Fairy Godmother is more of a figure that torments and frightens the wooden child. After endless mischief and misdeeds, the Fox and the Cat end up hanging Pinocchio after stealing his gold, but the fans of the puppet were not satisfied with the end of the story, so Collodi lengthened it.
Actually, the only thing Disney kept from Pinocchio was that his nose grew when he told lies.
