I liked the part with the cannon.

This movie was completely bonkers. It's a series of barely connected things happening, and not one of them made any sense or contributed any cohesion to the overall work.

Pinocchio spent like half the movie being a prisoner to various people, including a puppeteer that was like 6m tall. His legs were burnt off at one point, and later he was transformed into a donkey for some reason.

A guy leashed him to a kennel and made him into a guard dog, at which point he foiled a robbery by two wizards with ornamental daggers, who fucking hanged him in retaliation. Then a couple of furries scammed him for all he was worth and he somehow met his creator inside a whale off the coast of Canada.

Unsurprisingly, the Native Americans were depicted as violent cannibals, and were massacred by the Canadian army in a scene I'm sure the creators of this movie felt was absolutely vital to the plot.

The restored version I watched on youtube had a horrible musical accompaniment composed by "experimental sound project" Miclono. I had to mute it after a couple of minutes, and recommend you do too. I'd occasionally check in on whatever the hell it was up to as I watched, just to hear if it was still wildly unfitting and sonically unpleasant. It was.

Polidor's performance was very energetic and the story was, at least, never dull. The intertitles (after I fed about half the words into google translate) were good enough to give the gist of what was happening, but not why it was happening.

I knew next to nothing about the story of Pinnochio when I woke up this morning, and I'm not sure that's changed having seen this movie. I know the whale was a thing, because it was a world in Kingdom Hearts, but isn't his nose supposed to grow when he lies? Was he really hanged?

Technically decent, but practically incoherent. I enjoyed how surreal it was, but I can't say I liked it as a movie.

I totally get if you dont wanna reveal the answers but im also SO curious abt the answers to your Disney trivia (esp the 101 dalmatians book one!!!)

I thought I checked a box that said they would tell u the answers if u got it wrong but apparently that's not working so absolutely.

Quiz is HERE is you guys wanna take it before reading this! I worked very hard on it <3

Anyway, infodump time

How Many Banks Children were in the first Mary Poppins book?

A: Four. While Jane and Michael were the main characters of the book, they also had infant twin siblings. I had to edit this question to include “first book” after finding out that they get another sibling in later books; so the first book has four, and later books have five.

2. T/F: In 101 Dalmatians, Pongo's mate is named Perdita after she is found alone on the street.

A: False. Perdita is not Pongo's wife or the puppies' mother, but a nurse for some of the pups. She was indeed named Perdita (meaning "lost") after being found on the street, and was a liver-spotted dog looking for her own lost puppies. Pongo's wife is named Missis and she's a bimbo and i love her

3. Disney added multiple characters to Bambi. Who of the following was actually in the book?

A: Faline. Thumper and Flower were added to the Disney film and did not appear in the original book.

4. T/F: In the original Pinocchio book, the character who would become Stromboli was actually more sympathetic than Disney portrayed him as.

A: True. Stromboli's character, Mangiafuoco, is at first annoyed at Pinocchio for ruining his performance and threatens to burn him. However, he takes pity on the boy and later lets him go, giving him some gold coins for his journey.

5. Which of the following is NOT something that happens in the original Peter Pan that Disney cut from the ending?

A: the answer I made up is the one of Nana going to Neverland. In the original book, at the end, Captain Hook is eaten by the crocodile, the Darling children return to find that they had been reported missing for several months and their parents were frantic, the Lost Boys move in with the Darlings, them and John and Michael forget about Neverland, and Tinker Bell dies offscreen. Peter forgets about her cause his memory is shit.

Other Peter Pan fun fact: There are actual canon nonbinary fairies in this 1911 book! Wendy talks about the fairies, and says, “The mauve ones are boys and the white ones are girls, and the blue ones are just little sillies who are not sure what they are.”

6. T/F: Tarzan’s foster mother, Kala, dies in the book.

A: True. She’s unfortunately killed by some tribal African stereotypes which. oof.

7. What role did Ariel's sisters play in the original Little Mermaid?

A: They sold their hair for a way for the Little Mermaid to return home. The sisters gave the Sea Witch their hair in exchange for a dagger for Ariel to use to stab the prince; if she did so, she would revert to a mermaid. Ariel considered it, as the prince had fallen in love with someone else and thus she would not be able to marry him by the time limit, but decided against it.

8. T/F: Dumbo's mouse friend was present in the original story.

A: False. Timothy Q Mouse was made as a replacement for a wise robin named Red.

9. What are two of the ways the wicked Queen tries to kill Snow White before using the apple?

A: She tries to suffocate her with a laced bodice, and then brushes her hair with a poisoned comb. These both fail, as the dwarves untie the bodice and remove the comb. Fun fact: the reason the apple failed in the OG story was actually because when the prince moved the coffin, it fell from her mouth!

One of the fake answers is “She gives her slippers that make her dance endlessly,” which is the Queen’s fate in the fairytale. Another fake answer is “She sends crows to peck her eyes out” which happens in the Grimm version of Cinderella to the stepfamily. “She tries to get her to prick her finger on a poisoned thornbush” references both Sleeping Beauty and the beginning of the story where the good Queen wishes for a child as red as blood and white as snow after pricking her finger and seeing blood in the snow.

10. T/F: In the original "The Fox and the Hound" book, the Hound kills the Fox.

A: True. Disney switched the names of Copper and Chief, but the character who would become Copper does chase Tod until he dies of exhaustion. The dog then dies at the end of the book. Cheery! The whole book is full of death and despair I only recommend it if you want to make people uncomfortable at parties.

11. What was Jasmine’s name in the original folk tale?

A: Badroulbadour. As for the other answers: Yasmin is her name in the Arabic dub of the Disney film; Scheherazade is the main protagonist of 1001 Arabian Nights; Dalia is Jasmine’s handmaiden in the live-action reboot; Fatimah is the pestering wife of Maruf the Cobbler in his Arabian Nights story; Morgiana is Ali Baba’s heroic daughter-in-law from Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves; Nouronnihar is another princess in The Three Princes and the Princess Nouronnihar, and Zumurrud is one of the protagonists in Ali Shar and Zumurrud.

12. In The Frog Princess, which The Princess and the Frog was VERY loosely inspired by, what is the actual reason that Emma (who would become Tiana) turns into a frog after kissing the prince?

A: She is wearing a curse-reversal bracelet. It was given to her by her adventuring Aunt, and she has to retrieve the bracelet in order to turn into a human and then kiss the prince again.

The fake answer “She is not a real princess” is the reason used in the final film that Tiana transforms.

13. T/F: In 2022, Disney released a sequel film to "Hocus Pocus." However, a book sequel was created in 2018 with a drastically different plot. In this plot, Max and Allison's daughter is canonically gay.

A: True! Her name is Poppy and she summons the Sandersons while trying to impress a cute girl. Queen shit

14. Which of the following is NOT true about the book version of Eilonwy?

A: The false statement was that her bauble was a fairy. The true statements are that her mother was a princess but her father was a commoner, the women of her family were all enchantresses, but she loses a good chunk of her magic by destroying The Book of Llyr.

15. T/F: Disney’s Alice in Wonderland changed the ending to make it all Alice’s dream instead of a real adventure.

A: False! The book did originally end as Alice's dream, as did the sequel. Fun fact, though: The Wizard of Oz was not a dream in the book! As stated before, neither was Peter Pan.

16. What role does Sleeping Beauty's Husband's Mother play in the story?

A: She is an ogre that tries to eat Sleeping Beauty and her children.

17. T/F: While Treasure Planet changed a lot from Treasure Island, Jim's backstory of being abandoned by his father is the same.

A: False. In the book, his father died instead of left.

18. What was the Rescue Aid Society’s name in the book?

A: Prisoners’ Aid Society. The first book actually featured the mice rescuing an adult poet from prison.

19. Esmeralda’s goat sidekick, Djali, was actually in the original book.

A: True.

20. What is the plot to the official book sequel to 101 Dalmatians?

A: The humans all fall into a magical coma and the dogs, now with psychic powers, must save them. Yeah! That’s canon! Written by the original story’s author!! Why did Disney never adapt it!!!

Of the fake answers, “Cruella attempts to kidnap puppies again, only to be thwarted by the original dogs” is a slight ref to 101 Dalmatians 2: Patch’s London Adventure; “A dalmatian without spots saves her family” and “Cruella attempts to reform and becomes a dog lover” are both descriptions of subplots in 102 Dalmatians, and the mention of Cruella’s cat in one of the fake answers does refer to a book character.

21. T/F: The talking snowman was an actual character in The Snow Queen.

A: False.

22. What are the names of Rapunzel’s twin children?

A: The twins are unnamed in the original story. Of the fake answers, “Ruby and Rampion” references a background character in Descendants and the alternate name for the Rapunzel plant; “Dawn and Day” are Sleeping Beauty’s children; “Elba and Saiba” I got from googling fairytales with twins, and the site says it’s an African fairytale? I’ll have to look it up tbh cause I’m not sure; “Zjema and Handa” are from the Albanian folktale The Twins, and “Cassandra and Varian” are two characters from the Tangled TV series.

23. T/F: In the original Tarzan series, Clayton is revealed to be Tarzan’s cousin.

A: True. Tarzan’s birth name is John Clayton II, and Disney’s Clayton is William Cecil Clayton. While this plotline was dropped in the movie, fun fact: Clayton’s VA provided Tarzan’s famous call for the film!

24. What is Ratigan’s first name in the original stories?

A: Padraic. Of the fake names, “James” and “Moriarty” obviously reference the Sherlock character he is based on; “Proudfoot” is a family in the first 1958 Basil story; “Doran” was Ratigan’s lieutenant based on former tumblr blorbo Sebastian Moran; “Vincent” comes from Ratigan’s VA Vincent Price; “Ingham” was the surname of Basil’s VA, Barrie Ingham; and “Leslie” came from one of the inspirations for Basil’s animation, Leslie Howard.

25. T/F: Roger Rabbit dies in the original book.

A: True. I do not know how to convey to you how INSANE the Roger Rabbit book is. It’s so fucking nuts.

26. The Lion King is famously based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet. What characters inspired Timon and Pumbaa?

A: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. They ended up serving very different roles in the plot, but originally Timon and Pumbaa’s characters were meant to be Simba’s childhood friends like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were, and they eventually evolved into caretakers when they needed someone for Simba to grow up with.

27. T/F: Maui is a character in Māori and Hawai’ian mythology, but not any other Polynesian cultures.

A: False. Maui appears in Māori, Hawai'ian, Tongan, Tahitian, Samoan and Mangarevan mythology.

28. How Many siblings does Hua Mulan have?

A: Two. She has an older sister and a younger brother. They were combined into Hua Xiu in the reboot, and aluded to in the original movie with Mulan’s dog being named Little Brother. Personally, I like the change of having her being an only child, it puts a lot of implicit pressure on her that she is the ONLY one who can make her family proud and guarantee them a future. However, I also like middle kid rep so lol

29. T/F: Gaston was more sympathetic in the original fairytale.

A: False. Gaston did not exist in the original fairytale. The antagonists were  Belle’s two wicked sisters.

30. Final Question. Which of the following was an actual original story, and NOT based on a pre-existing book, fairytale, myth, etc.?

A: Brother Bear was not based on anything pre-existing, though it did of course draw inspiration from Inuit culture. The other movies listed are Song of the South (based on the Uncle Remus stories), Bedknobs and Broomsticks (based on The Magic Bedknob; or, How to Become a Witch in Ten Easy Lessons and the following Bedknobs and Broomsticks), Fun and Fancy Free was based on Bongo and Mickey and the Beanstalk; Frankenweenie is ofc a Frankenstein adaptation but also based on an early Burton short film; and Oliver & Company was based on Oliver Twist.

Hey what are some cool old films you reccomend? You seem tohave a few

[CRACKS MY KNUCKLES] hi ::-) here are some relatively old films that i like, and a bit of commentary 👍 you (might) know me, i like drama and horror movies so expect that.

right off tha bat The Cabinet of Dr Caligari [1919 or 1920???] and Metropolis [1921] are classics and required viewing. okay.

The Adventures of Pinocchio [1911]- i know what I just said about horror movies but this one made me laugh a lot because its so absurd so it gets a spot on here. Warning for racism about native americans around the middle point i think.

Different from the Others [1919]- A (now incomplete) German drama about a gay couple struggling through adversity. Probably the first pro-gay film, theres so much heart in this movie, its amazing to be able to watch (most of) it more than 100 years after its premier..!!

M [1931]- German crime movie about the search for a local serial killer. Sometimes slow but also intriguing... The use of a character having a musical leitmotif is really neat!

Dràcula [1931]- There are two Universal Dracula movies: The classic english one with Lugosi, and a spanish one filmed on the same sets but with different actors. I think i liked the spanish version more and its a fun slice of movie history to see their differences ::-)

Rope [1948]- Also a crime drama but the plot hinges on whether or not the main characters get caught. Watched this several times, i just love the tension, the homosexuality, also farley granger (who plays philip) is so pretty ::-)

The Fly [1958]- Creature feature about a guy whose experiments in teleportation go wrong. its fun to contrast this against the 1986 movie bc theyre so utterly different in execution, but the same in their core. both are fun if u enjoy watching a guy lose his humanity.

Eyes without a Face [1960]- French horror movie about a woman who is horribly scarred in an accident, and how her father deals with it. Sort of more on the mellow side for horror?

Carnival of Souls [1962]- Horror movie abt a woman who moves away to a city in Utah for a job as an organist. Deliciously atmospheric and psychological!!!<3 mary henry, more liek... marry me...

i like watching classics but one thing i have noticed is that often times classic movies are not great. they can be pretty hit or miss. but it is totally up to you to decide what hits and what misses.

experiencing every possible pinocchio adaption i can part five

part one - part two - part three - part four

13. Pinocchio (1965)

i dont have a lot to say about this one. it was a TV stage play or something. it wasnt very good. another that had all the child characters played by adults. why. i liked some of the dialogue and small character moments but it would have been much better if it was like. a child. and also if this was better in general to support the good small moments. 3/10 whatever its not gay or trans moving on

14. “Pinocchio” from an episode of Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child

so right away i DO have to respect what the show’s goal here is, each episode was a retelling of fairy tales with poc. and as a bonus this adaption was NOT bad, i thought it was good! of course part of that was that it was very clearly using disney’s adaption as the base, and i wasn’t super into that. The plot was almost exactly like disney’s, but it did throw in some fun aesthetic choices (the blue fairy being “the blues fairy” for example. fun music btw). not a great adaption but god damn am i glad to see another good one (this is rare). 6/10 not gay or trans but i like it

15. Pinocchio (1911)

a silent film that marks the first time pinocchio was adapted on film! what an interesting thing to see. until it was racist. which definitely sucks. idk its pretty bad but story-wise it still isnt the worst one i guess. just like. the second worst one or something. pacing was terrible but not torturous like some others. and there were funny slapstick moments i guess. but literally why was it racist dont answer that i know why i know what time period this was filmed in. but why. 0/10 nothing not gay or trans just bad ugly wrong incorrect

Almost all fairy tales are newer than I think they are

There is a portion of fairy tales that have their roots in folk traditions dating back hundreds of years, but they’re always alongside stories that are barely older than the late-nineteenth century

Little Red-Riding Hood dates back to the 10th century, but the Little Mermaid was published in 1837

Beauty and the Beast borrows tropes from classical tradition, but it was first written in the late 18th century

The Gingerbread Man was first printed in 1875. Pinocchio was published on a weekly basis in the 1880s. Wizard of Oz was published in 1900. Peter Pan was published as a novel in 1911, and is still under copyright

TV Guide  -  October 29 - November 4, 1960

Danny Kaye (born David Daniel Kaminsky; Yiddish: דאַװיד דאַניעל קאַמינסקי‎; January 18, 1911 – March 3, 1987)  Actor, singer, dancer, comedian, musician, and philanthropist. His performances featured physical comedy, idiosyncratic pantomimes, and rapid-fire novelty songs.

Kaye entered television in 1956, on the CBS show See It Now with Edward R. Murrow.  The Secret Life of Danny Kaye combined his 50,000-mile, ten-country tour as UNICEF ambassador with music and humor.  His first solo effort was in 1960 with a one-hour special produced by Sylvia and sponsored by General Motors, with similar specials in 1961 and 1962.

He hosted a The Danny Kaye Show from 1963 to 1967; it won four Emmy awards and a Peabody award.

Beginning in 1964, he acted as television host to the CBS telecasts of MGM's The Wizard of Oz. Kaye did a stint as a What's My Line? mystery guest on the Sunday-night CBS-TV quiz program. Kaye was later a guest panelist on that show. He also appeared on the interview program Here's Hollywood. In the 1970s, Kaye tore a ligament in his leg during the run of the Richard Rodgers musical Two by Two, but went on with the show, appearing with his leg in a cast and cavorting on stage in a wheelchair.  He had done much the same on his television show in 1964, when his right leg and foot were burned from a cooking accident. Camera shots were planned so television viewers did not see Kaye in his wheelchair.

In 1976, he played Mister Geppetto in a television musical adaptation of Pinocchio with Sandy Duncan in the title role. Kaye portrayed Captain Hook opposite Mia Farrow in a musical version of Peter Pan featuring songs by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse. He later guest-starred in episodes of The Muppet Show and The Cosby Show, and in the 1980s revival New Twilight Zone.

In many films, as well as on stage, Kaye proved to be an able actor, singer, dancer, and comedian. He showed his serious side as ambassador for UNICEF and in his dramatic role in the memorable TV film Skokie, when he played a Holocaust survivor.   (Wikipedia)
