By: Ashley DennerleinPinocchio is an amazing tall of a mischievous wooden puppet, and his journey to becoming a real boy. Many have seen Disney's interpretation of the movie. This was quiet similar following the same story line. However, the real life version is so much better than the cartoon. I watched in the the English-Dubbed version of the Italian movie. The movies stars Roberto Benigni. Roberto also wrote and directed the film. The movie was incredibly vivid and full of fantasy. It is suitable for children of all ages. The bright colors and whimsical characters are fun to watch and laugh at. The story itself is very imaginative. All of the costumes seem as though they are directly out of a child's imagination. I do suggest that the movie be watched in its original Italian language, or with English subtitles. The dubbed version makes the characters seem more annoying than fun. Though a child might not know the difference, i do believe something is lost from the film when it is not heard in Italian since the story takes place in Italy. Children that are unable to read might have a difficult time with the subtitled version, so parents might want to watch it with their children. The movie however viewed is very entertaining and something that the whole family can enjoy.
Here is the trailer to the movie Check it out!
Wow I never knew Pinocchio wasn't from the USA or Disney originally. What country is it from?
ReplyDeleteDo you feel that if this is the first version that a child views of Pinnochio that they would less enjoy the Disney version?
ReplyDeleteThis movie is a good Disney classic, but as the comment above points out the fact that neither of us new it was not originally from the US. I think from reading your summary and mostly knowing the story behind Pinnochio i would feel safe showing my children this movie. Disney and possibly this version of the movie.
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for including the preview...looks awesome! I'm going to have to check this out soon!
