 The Adventures of Pinocchio (Le Avventure di Pinocchio) is an Italian miniseries, first aired in 1972 in five episodes, and based on Collodi's famous novel. The series was subsequently re-edited into an extended, six-part version, then into a 135-minute theatrical film.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The series overall follows fairly closely the plot of the original novel, but shifts slightly away from the more fantasy elements in favour of a more realistic and grim tone. It's also notorious for being the version of Pinocchio where the titular protagonist alternates between his child and puppet form, rather than becoming a real boy only at the very end.A critical success back in the day, The Adventures of Pinocchio boasted an All-Star Cast, such as Nino Manfredi (Geppetto), Gina Lollobrigida (The Fairy with Turquoise Hair), Ugo D'Alessio (Master Cherry), Franco and Ciccio (The Cat and the Fox) and Lionel Stander (Mangiafoco), among the rest.

 Adaptation Distillation: The series takes various liberties and ends right after Pinocchio and Geppetto escape from the Terrible Dogfish. They reach the shore, see the house of the Fairy in the distance and happily run to there, and that's when the end credits kick in. The whole plot of Geppetto and Pinocchio learning about the Cat's and the Fox's fate or Geppetto falling ill are absent. In particular, Pinocchio becomes permanently a real boy inside the Terrible Dogfish and not after escaping.

 Adaptational Angst Upgrade: In the novel, when Pinocchio is swallowed whole by the Terrible Dogfish, he finds Geppetto still alive there but short on supplies, so that they're obviously both eager to escape from there. In the show, Geppetto isn't willing to escape the Terrible Dogfish at first. He managed to build a comfortable life inside of it thanks to the supplies constantly eaten by the Dogfish (such as books and food), and remembers very well how the outside world was never kind to him nor Pinocchio. It takes quite some time for Pinocchio to persuade him to jump on the Tuna Fish and reach the shore.
