pickAfter watching the Tom Hanks and Del Toro versions, I couldn‘t help but wonder at the difference of the motion picture vs the original children‘s classic from 1876. Collodi‘s classic is more geared toward a nineteenth century reader that has scarcer resources, whereby a child has to behave and most likely grow into the trade their parents possessed in order to thrive due to the lack of educational resources at that time. Rating: Book over Movie.
My treats for today as I was feeling a little low. I hope everyone is warm and well. We're all trying to get through a cold 🤧 festive wishes to you all. Happy reading my friends 📚❤️📖 #christmas #elf #santa #festive #disney #twistedtale #pinocchio #bluefairy #toymaker #clockmaker #magic #goodness #puppet
I greatly enjoyed Collodi's novella when I read it several years ago & since I first found out about Del Toro's forthcoming adaptation I have been curious. The following Lit Hub article (with spoilers) is very favorable. I can't help but wonder what the Fellini version would have looked like!

Book Sorting find of the week - an aged Pinnochio. 1920 Lippencott edition with color plates of illustrations by Maria L. Kirk.
Some days, the book gods smile on us, yeah?
There have been multiple intriguing trailers over the past week or so (esp. LOTR, House of the Dragons). Today the trailer for Del Toro's take on Pinocchio was released. I love Del Toro's movies & having read the Collodi novel several years ago I can imagine why he'd be tempted to tackle it. But this got me thinking: if you could have a director of your choice do a dark/unusual take on a fairy tale, what would you choose?👇
