  • (☞゚ヮ゚)☞ Since I'm on vacation this week I decided to make an "uncut" version of my Pinocchio origins episodes!! It's always bothered me there wasn't an option for you guys who wanted to listen to the entire story in one seamless cut, so I thought I'd make one while I'm on vacation! Enjoy :)

    Hope you liked this uncut version of the Pinocchio Origins, SoloCups! 🤗 I was worried a few people might be irritated/thinking I was being lazy with a “re-upload” but my options were limited being on vacation and all. REMEMBER if we get this video to 5,000 likes there will be a GUARANTEED new episode next week!!! And I should mention it’s a VERY heavily requested one... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    The Disney Pinocchio film was one of my favorite movies as a child and it always fascinated me how dark it was for a Disney film. I thought to myself "wow they show kids smoking and drinking and gambling!" Even though I knew it was a cautionary tale, I was shocked that they did it in a children's movie

  • @yoonmikim5663
    @yoonmikim5663 Před 5 lety +962

    Pinnochio, the book, was based on an even older fairytale, though a bit more obscure (and harder to find) where a carpenter makes a puppet, the puppet gets into various bits of trouble, so the carpenter ends up burning the puppet. No blue fairy. No pleasure Island. Just a naughty puppet getting into trouble and then being burned to death. So it's pretty grim beginning to end.

    Something never sat right with me with Pinocchio. I never figured out why, but I finally found it while watching the movie with my then infant daughter. Pinocchio escapes Pleasure Island but evil is never punished. The Coachman still kept his racket going.

    • @Soulslayer612
      @Soulslayer612 Před 4 lety +178

      The reason is that Pleasure Island is an allegory for real life. In real life, evil persists. Break up one drug cartel and another takes its place. This is true of basically any corrupt or evil industry.
      Pleasure Island isn't meant to represent one but rather to represent them all as a whole. The point is that Pinocchio realizes that he's on a bad road and turns back onto the path of the righteous AND that he did so before it was too late for him because there really is a point where it can be too late for a person.
      Really if you want the best explanation and breakdown of Pinocchio that you never knew you needed then I suggest looking up Jordan Peterson's videos on the subject.

      @Ruby Hypatia ok here is the problem: there are only two archetypical stories that western people find interesting. The hero's journey as outlined by Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung, and the romance story which can be boiled down to beauty and the beast to explain it easily. Introduce the carictor, have a need, go to the special place of chaos, road of trials to adapt, meet the goddess and meet your goal, make a sacrifice, return having changed. It is not happy. It is a story about how to be a person that can face adversity. Its everything from blues clues to deadpool to jesus. You're stuck with this story.

    Pretty interesting! I know the story since my childhood, too, but due to this summary it's the first time I realized Pinnochio truly ACTS like a marionette to those convincing him doing bad things in the plot, WHILE he's staying a marionette. So another moral of the story could be seen as he has to learn and develop his own (human) independence! Great point of view change there!

    Watching the movie as a kid, I thought the message was, "Everything is terrifying." As an adult, I can see that it's meant more for adults and is not a good cautionary tale for kids. You can't expect a child or child puppet to understand right from wrong without explaining the reasonings behind what makes something right or wrong. I think adults like it because they get to see brats get punished and it gives them a cathartic feeling.

      In one of the videos I had as a kid the father tries to explain the concept of morality to his son in the first night, but it never goes beyond “this is good and this is bad.” Pinocchio even keeps asking “why”, perfectly illustrating that child like innocence coupled with an insatiable curiosity. Even then I thought it was a shame his father just got fed up rolled over and went to sleep.

Cause and Effect.

    The Golden Ass by Apuleius was written in the second century and is considered an influence on Collodi. The protagonist is turned into a donkey for a year then partakes in the mystery of Isis who appears to him and restores his humanity. The novel also contains the earliest surviving written telling of Cupid and psyche, which influences a number of fairytales too.

    I was never actually creeped out by the donkey business thing on Pleasure Island. Instead, I was intrigued. I was always saying I wanted to know more. I, being a silly six year-old, thought that the donkeys were being taken to another Pleasure Island to play around on. I did not realise they were being sold to the salt mines and abusive circuses. I was terrified of Monstro and that creepy face the Coachman makes in the pub, though.

But I can tell that none of them read the book (or probably even knows it exists).
    Anyway my only point is to say thank you for this video because we see that even though the original movie's moral message was closer to the original it still missed a lot.

He learned to do better. He became better. That’s the point.

    Being Italian, for me the story of Pinocchio was always known in its 21st century form. I also knew the Disney but I never tough much about the differences. Also, I find it very funny how the character of Mangiafuoco, which literally translate in Fire-eater, has been adapted into Stromboli, which is a vulcano (and an island) in the south of Italy of the cost of Sicily. I guess Stroboli literally eats fire.
    Also, the fish name, Monstro, sound a lot like Mostro which translate into a generic monster, while the original name dogfish seems to be a literal translation of pescecane, which is another name for squalo" i.e. shark. So probably Collodi was just indicating a huge shark as the see monster.

    Honestly, those scenes when he turns into a donkey and when he ends up inside the whale traumatised me so much, I haven't watched the film since I was a kid.

    As soon as you said "well mostly successfully" and showed Pinocchio face down in the water, I laughed so loud I woke my roommate up, an had to apologize. Haha

      I don't know, same thing with all the other breaks in logic, like how come lying makes your nose grow out of nowhere even though lying is sometimes justified? Also wood shouldn't even be alive?
      Yeeeeeaaaaahhh... It's one of them stories that questioning just doesn't work with.

    You know what I wish for? I wish for Disney to do another live action Pinocchio film unlike the sucky 2022 one. It will be an uncut version called The Adventures of Pinocchio with both elements from the book and the Disney film like Pinocchio smashing Jiminy cricket with a hammer(but then he recovers later), getting his father arrested, getting hanged by the fox and the cat, and probably make the coachman the actual villain of the film. It would be kinda like Zach Snyder’s Justice League, it would be the best film ever.

    This is another good one. I remember searching out these old stories as a young boy. I always read a couple years above my grade, fascinated by the real stories behind so many great works of literature, plays, movies, etc. I've been hooked on your shows lately, for eh aforementioned reasons. Do continue these cool shows!

    I like that Stromboli (Mangiafuoco) and the Coachman ("il Postiglione" in Italian) are voiced by the same person. It reminds me of "Dracula" and "Nosferatu" (1922).
    The coachman („der Kutscher“ in German) that takes Jonathan Harker (Thomas Hutter in "Nosferatu") to Count Dracula (Count Orlok in "Nosferatu") is actually the count („der Graf“ in German) in disguise. They are the same person.
