[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 350929, member: 33"] I've finally gotten around to watch[B] Pinocchio (2022)[/B] and this version pees all over the Disney live action version released last year. It a darker version of the story with Nazis, death and grief all a prominent part of the story. I disagree with [USER=8]@Willie Oleson[/USER] regarding the muted colour palette used throughout the film because I think was a good choice as it added to the more sombre and serious tone that the film has. However, for the same reason I didn't like the songs. Why were they even there? There weren't enough of them for it to feel like a proper musical but the few it had distracted from the darker feel the film otherwise had. The songs however were reasonably good. The characters weren't as likeable as in the Disney version which made them more believable. Geppetto and Pinocchio were both more selfish and the characters that were new to me, like Candlewick (a Nazi Youth colleague of Pinocchio) and his bullying dad ,were great additions to the story.
