Pinocchio is a 2019 Italian film directed by Matteo Garrone. It is an adaptation of Carlo Collodi's The Adventures of Pinocchio.The old woodcarver Geppetto's wooden puppet creation, Pinocchio, magically comes to life with dreams of becoming a real boy. Easily led astray, Pinocchio tumbles from one misadventure to another as he is tricked, kidnapped and chased by bandits.The film stars Roberto Benigni (who had previously made his own adaptation in 2002 and played the role of Pinocchio) as Geppetto, and Federico Ielapi as the voice of Pinocchio.

Good Is Not Nice
 Pinocchio (2019) / int_21f3aa44
comment
Good Is Not Nice: While her Prank Punishments are omitted, the Fairy does leave Pinocchio outside a whole night for spending his day being a lazy rascal with Lampwick instead of attending school. It doesn't rain and he isn't given fake food like in the novel, but still.

Pinocchio Nose
 Pinocchio (2019) / int_26673a22
comment
Pinocchio Nose: As per tradition, Pinocchio has a nose that grows when he lies to the Blue Fairy. She summons a multitude of woodpeckers to trim it down to its regular size. Strangely, though, it doesn't grow when Pinocchio lies to the Judge about committing thefts to avoid getting imprisoned. Unless the nose knew the court of Catch-Fools is unfair and allowed Pinocchio to lie just this once to avoid getting arrested unjustly.

Sadist Teacher: At the school Pinocchio attends, there's one with a Creepy High-Pitched Voice who enjoys giving Corporal Punishments to the children that don't respond to his math questions correctly. It's no wonder boys like Lampwick would rather rebel than respect such individual.

comment
Adapted Out: Geppetto getting arrested when Pinocchio first escapes, he's instead absent looking for him not knowing he already went back home. The snake with the smoking tail is omitted. Pinocchio taking the place of a deceased guard dog as punishment for trying to steal grapes and stopping the weasels that used to bribe the dog. The dolphin Pinocchio meets at the beach who establishes the presence of the Terrible Dogfish. The fight with the school children which would lead into the Green Fisherman encounter is cut out, when Pinocchio skips school he just goes off to slouch with Lampwick. The Blue Fairy's Secret Test of Character and Prank Punishments are cut out. Pinocchio witnessing Lampwick dying as an overworked donkey, leaving his fate an Uncertain Doom. Pinocchio and Geppetto's little hut turning into a cozy house after Pinocchio's transformation, making the ending a bit more bittersweet because it shows how even with his real boy happy ending, Pinocchio and his papa's struggles with poverty won't be over anytime soon.

When Pinocchio returns in his puppet form, the ringmaster muses the idea of catching him and making him an attraction for being a Living Toy, but is unable to do so because he and his workers can't swim.

Sweet Sheep: Near the end of the film, Pinocchio is shown working for Gigangio in order to earn coins to get a gallon of milk to help Geppetto get stronger and healthier. One of his jobs is to help Gigangio herd his flock of sheep. When Pinocchio finishes his job taking care of a group of lambs, he gets tired and is seen taking a nap near haystacks where The Blue Fairy finally turns him into a real boy. Before he wakes up and learns he is now a real boy, a group of lambs are seen watching Pinocchio turn from a puppet into a human.

Compressed Adaptation: It does its best to be Truer to the Text with the vignettes from the book it adapts, but others are left out or shortened to make for a well paced film. For example, at the Kangaroo Court scene, Pinocchio manages to get released shortly after being sentenced, instead of spending some time in prison.
