The Pinocchio movie is a lot of wasted potential imo. The story is incoherent, and tries to do so many things that Pinocchio never gets to grow or decide things for himself. It's an incredibly well-animated movie, but doesn't play to its strengths. The blue fairy and her sister are amazing creations, but we barely get to glimpse them, and most characters are just regular people. A bit of a shame when they can create such amazing creatures. There are also some absolutely gorgeous atmospheric shots I wish they had held longer, but then nope they're zooming in on a character's face now and the environment is mostly unseen.

Yeah. With more understanding of how it works I’d hope that we could come up with something easier and better than the current process though. Like how different modern insulin is from the very first treatments involving it.

I hope it leads to better treatment for these conditions. We could simply collect healthy bacteria and give it to unhealthy people. While it wouldn't be a cure all, it could still be a life changer for people who have unhealthy gut biomes.

No one here ever said humans are slaves to bacteria. When did anyone say that? You're knocking down a strawman you set up yourself. All they said is that bacteria influences the brain.
