Cheap and pointless? It must be Disney+!
Is this really where people are going with this?
You can accept an old man had a puppet turned into a human... but by the power of Grayskull don't let the fairy be a black actress!
Wow, people are desperate to pick holes in anything.
Did you all complain when the genie in the animated Aladdin was blue? Or was that ok because he was voiced by a white actor even though by your own logic he should have had an Arabic accent.

Just respecting the original story...nothing wrong with that
The key word there is story.Just respecting the original story...nothing wrong with that
Pinocchio isn't a documentary about a real event, it's a fairy story.
A puppet transformed into a “real boy” may once have been regarded as obvious fiction, but times have changed.
Surely if there are people who believe in a “Flat Earth”, in the 21st Century, then surely there must also be people who believe that Pinocchio is somehow based upon a true story about real events.
I have faith in the strength of our collective stupidity.
In all seriousness…Disney’s retelling of these stories really is tiresome, and the gimmicks they use to “modernize” them are often clumsy at best. They really do deserve the all criticism that they receive.
More and more they are simply a “Member Berry Factory”, running on the fumes of nostalgia.
Now…let’s talk about the story of the old woman who lived in the shoe…I understand that may have taken place somewhere outside of Albuquerque, but I think the original shoe has not yet been identified and the descendants of the original occupants of the shoe are all but gone.
