Pinocchio (2022) Pitch Meeting

Step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Pinocchio (2022)!

If you hadn’t noticed, Disney has been on an absolute rampage of re-making their animated classics in “live-action” over the past few years. From Aladdin to The Lion King to Beauty and the Beast to Dumbo, they’re… y’know they’re doing it… for sure. Now, as they slowly run out of classics to remake, they’ve finally landed on one of their very first animated films ever… Pinocchio!

As you might imagine from a 2022 remake of a movie from 80 years ago, 2022’s Pinocchio does raise some questions. Like

To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to the Pinocchio remake! Like what’s up with the iconic Blue Fairy showing up for one scene and then disappearing forever? Why is there an extended scene involving horse poop? Does Pinocchio learn anything at all, or is he already perfect from the beginning? And if he already fully gets the difference between right and wrong, what’s the point of Jiminy Cricket?

Producer Guy genuinely knowing *WAY* more about Pinocchio than Screenwriter Guy does was a nice twist.

"Do you think we might be missing the point of the original movie?"

You just summed up the entirety of all Disney remakes.

Gotta love how Ryan didn't even mention Pinocchio's love interest, she has _so much_ impact to the story that the movie doesn't change anything if you erase her scenes

[Jaster_Mereel]

The fact that Pinot Grigio never has to learn the main lesson of the story, and in fact, is shown to get ahead in life by lying, is hilarious and sad.

“Do you think we may be missing the entire point of the original movie?”
“I don’t care”
I am 100% certain this was an actual conversation with Disney Executives

The line about the poor animator who had to do the pile of crap scene was funny yet heartbreaking lol.

You have to give Disney one: every time you think they simply can not come up with a even worse live adaptation then the last one, they take up the challenge and prove you wrong...

Ryan puts more effort in a 6 min sketch than Disney does in multi-million dollar movies

The original Pinocchio contained roughly 14, 000 metaphors about maturity, responsibility and the human condition. Somehow, the AI that wrote Pinocchio 2022 managed to avoid recognizing a single one of them. It's almost impressive, like dodging raindrops in a storm.

Constantly mispronouncing Pinocchio was absolutely hilarious barely an inconvenience

Best thing about watching this channel is when I’m watching on my iPad, my wife can’t see what I’m watching, and when she sees me cracking up, she says, “You’re watching Pitch Meetings, aren’t you?”

Watching the pitch meeting for a movie so you don't actually have to watch the movie is tight.

Thanks to pitch meetings, I looks forward to Disney's live action soulless remakes.

[Philistine]

_"I don't care"_ literally made me laugh out loud. Nice twist on the catchphrase, and the sentiment broadly applies to all of Disney's live-action remakes.

Every Pitch Meeting is tight. But somehow this one was a true gem, I was laughing far more than usual. Maybe it was the brilliant variety of vaguely almost-Pinnochio-ish names. Or the beautiful evolution of "I DON'T know!" into the more honest "I DON'T care!"

“What really spoke to me about this one… is that we haven’t done it yet”
and the mispronouncing of Pinocchio was peak comedy 😂

I think Gepetto sending Pinocchio off by himself explains why he lost the first kid.

When we get a better morality tale from the Pitch Meeting than the actual Pinocchio movie

I always thought it was funny how Jiminy Cricket, who really does look like a grasshopper, was offended when Lampwick asked, "Who's the grasshopper?" in the animated classic. But right now, I just did an image search, and it turns out that there ARE green crickets that look just like Jiminy.
