Reply to comment by anonymous6789855433 in TIL the original 1881 "Pinocchio" was a dark story that included the puppet's execution by hanging for his bad behavior (which included murdering Jiminy Cricket) by foodtower
I wonder if any of the 3 Pinocchio movies that came out this year did that.

Why does Hollywood think the public has this insatiable appetite for Pinocchio all of the sudden? Did the marketing algorithm just completely glitch out and they just went with it?

Disney was doing it as yet another remake in their long list of remakes, while Guillermo Del Toro made his more mature stop-motion one because it was a passion project of his that he's been wanting to make for a decade. I assume the third one was just trying to bite off some attention from the sudden influx of Pinocchio adaptations.

Studies have shown that, like those who inspired the telling of fairy tales (or what we think of as modern day FT), zombies are the fairy tale of our times and they are linked to our collective consciousness and our frailties and insecurities of our world. Themes that we are used to simply resurface and somehow, to us, this is something makers of media think we consistently need to see. Is it commentary on our current events?
