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

“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

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

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...

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.

"So, obviously this puppet spends like a good 90 seconds staring at a big pile of crap on the road and sniffing it and stuff." "I like and approve that idea so much I'm gonna pay real money to somebody who's probably passionate about cinema and art to animate that for us." "Thank you." This is pure gold.

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.

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

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.

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!"

Ok, saw the original cartoon back in the 80's and I distinctly remember Pinnocchio turning into a donkey. 🐴 It was one of the horrifying memories I had of this cartoon as a child. 😳 Old school Disney movies were mad creepy. 😖

"Do you think we might be missing the point of the original movie?" You just summed up the entirety of all Disney remakes.

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

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?”

At this point…these pitch meetings are way better than the movies in 6 minutes or less… I deeply want to see a movie this guy writes.

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

Constantly mispronouncing Pinocchio was absolutely hilarious barely an inconvenience

My current theory is that Disney is actually paid off by Ryan to make bad movies so that he in turn can make great pitch meetings

The look on Producer Guy when agree "Lie's can be pretty effect" was pure gold.

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

My favorite part of this pitch meeting is the many ways he pronounces Pinnochio

The "as it should" line got me SO GOOD

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

_"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.

Watching a "Pitch Meeting" video so many times that you have memorized the entire script is super easy, and absolutely not an inconvenience.

In theory, this should've been good. Zemekis and Hanks collab on an adaptation which they need to add a lot to has worked out great before, Polar Express is one of my favourite adaptations. Unfortunately, Disney+ era Disney had to be involved. And for a story like this to be told right with the modern rating system it needs to be rated R, given some of the stuff in the source material (even modern PG-13 is too restrictive for this story). But of course, that would scare away Disney's core audiance. Moral of the story, if you want to make a family movie with Zemekis and Hanks, use source material that can make a G rated movie.

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

This 6 minutes of sketch had more creativity than the entire Pinocchio movie.

The beloved tale of Pineapple Chai. Loved by a latte people. I actually popped the dvd of the original cartoon in for some younger relatives and had to fast forward some of the scenes because they were frankly insane. Especially pleasure island! Maybe it was the animation that was so freaky.

Damn. I gotta figure out a way to work Pink-coolio into a conversation.

So …they basically got rid of alll the conflict? Ah yes. Great storytelling. Very exciting when a character doesn’t have to face…. Any challenges, or learn any lessons.

The “paying real money to someone who’s passionate about cinema and art” is just so freaking spot on

"Producer Guy paying real money to somebody who's passionate about art and cinema to animate a pile of crap" is such a meta notion.

Anybody remember they already did a live-action Pinocchio in 1996 with Jonathan Taylor Thomas from Tim Allen’s Home Improvement? THAT was a fantastic, excellently-done film that absolutely honored and kept the actual message/moral of the original. And was about 1000x better than this cash-grabby mess.

This is probably the most brutal pitch meeting I’ve ever seen and I loved every second of it

I remember the scene in the original movie where the kid turns into a Donkey and calls out to his mom in fear of his own life before completely losing the ability to speak and starts going crazy in front of Pinocchio. That scene scared the crap out of me as a kid. Imagine what this scene could've looked like in a modern live action adaptation if properly done right, I was really looking forward to being scared again as an adult.

2:13, to be fair that was also a legitimate critique of the Disney cartoon

Pino Grigio has me DEAD. I love you Ryan. Thanks for making this so I can get away with only watching 30 minutes of that movie and never finishing it.

The look of calculated menace in his face as he says 'as it should' is breathtaking

"What really spoke to me about this one is we haven't done it yet" You can't convince me that that isn't how the actual pitch for this movie went.

"Who knows, ya know? Who knows." "The movie ends with a bug saying 'Who knows what happened, I don’t know what happened?'" This has had me rolling for a week. 😂😂

I will never not look at Pinocchio as Pineachello ever again

At the end I heard myself asking: "How did they mess up Pinocchio?" That perfectly summurises Disney in the moment.

"I don't know" and "I don't care" pretty much sum up what this remake is made of. Great video as always, Ryan!

0:19 “so what really spoke to me about this one is that we haven’t done it yet” that was gold🤣🤣

“I don’t know” “Do you think we are missing the point of the original story?” “I don’t care”

*Everyone:* Hey Disney you know the point of the beer and smoking and the lying is that they're bad right? *Disney:* Yep *Everyone:* And you know you can show these things in a movie geared towards children as long as there's a lesson behind why they're bad right? *Disney:* Yup. *Everyone:* So, if you show Pinoke drinking, smoking, lying and making the point that it's BAD to do those things, then there's no need to change those things right? *Disney:* That makes sense to me. *Everyone:* SO WHY DID YOU CHANGE THE BEER TO ROOT BEER, REMOVE THE SMOKING, AND HAVE PINOCCHIO ESCAPE BY LYING?! IT UNDERCUTS THE ENTIRE MESSAGE. *Disney:* gonna need you to hop all the way off my back about this.

Oh boy. I'm an animator and being an animator was my dream career. I literally put off trying to enter the industry for a couple years because I didn't wanna be stuck dedicating weeks to working on stuff like the crap sniffing scene. Thank you for mentioning stuff like this. Means a lot.

I forgot how frightening and weird Pinocchio is, guessing that's why I rarely watched it as a child. Very Brave Little Toaster.

Hey, I don’t know if this will ever be read but I’m the redheaded guy that yelled “PRODUCER GUY” out the window of a black suburban in Beverly Hills today. I’ve been watching your videos for years now and you’ve made me laugh more than I can count. I wanted to stop by to shake your hand and thank you for all the years of laughter.

"AS IT SHOULD" I love the aggressiveness behind that line.

"Do you think we might be missing the entire point of the original?" "I don't care!!" Seems pretty accurate 😂 didn't even realize this movie came out yet, but gotta love watching the pitch meeting instead of suffering through the actual movie!

And yet also forgot one of the funnier parts in the movie as well, when Pinocchio tells Hank's character everything he has done. "...you did that all in a day?!"

Oh joy, producer guy and writer guy are back, how splendid! And how nice of Disney to provide you guys with the perfect Pitch Meeting raw material.

If I had a nickel for every time Ryan alluded to him not wearing pants when recording Pich Meetings, I'd have nearly 50 cents.

Another pitch meeting, another two hours of my life saved. Thank you Ryan! 😄

"Do you think we might be missing the point of the original?" "I don't care." You pretty much sum up all of Disney's remakes right there.

getting the guilermo del toro version as pitch meeting would also be neat

The funniest thing about this remake is I didn’t even know it existed until reviews of it started popping

"I think we might be missing the entire point of the original" "I dont care" -Disney

Just because Guillermo Del Toro version is amazing, this does not means that a pitch meeting cannot be done about it!

What's funny is that they already made a Live-Action _Pinnochio_ Movie back in the '90s, starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

The look on his face when he says "as it should" is priceless 😂😂😂

Fun fact! In the original movie, Monstro has the belly pleats of a blue whale and the fangs of a sperm whale, indicating he's a hybrid cross of the biggest and meanest whales alive which is why Jiminey Cricket says Monstro is "A whale of a whale!"

5:54 they have an extra wow on the figurine box lol, i cant believe they got the catch phrase wrong

The different names for Pinocchio is just hysterical!

I’m loving how Pinocchio’s name was something different every time Ryan said it. 😂

My friend and I watched this a couple of nights ago, so naturally she and I were confused about the "creative" decisions this movie made. Thankfully, all of our questions are answered here, and they all seem to have the same answer... "Money!" Thankyou guys for clearing things up! Much love!

I literally had no idea that Disney had remade this one. I pretty much wish we could have kept it that way.

The sad thing is that they brought Robert Zemeckis to do this weird stuff. Even though there were many references to his early works: Gepetto stuck in the middle of the sea on his small boat (Tom Hanks in Cast Away), a hero with leg injury and special brackets (Forrest Gump), cringy singing Tom Hanks (The Polar Express) and the clock with Jessica and Roger Rabbit

"Get those dead relatives in there. Start this off like every other Disney movie." The magic of Disney.

Despite this being "live action", it still feels more cartoonish than the original.

I ABSOLUTELY DIED with all the names you called him

Love this channel. The best change to the regular bit was dropping “get all the way off my back” and using “heyshutup…”

Not knowing a movie exists but still being hyped about the pitch meeting is tight

4:04 - This is the biggest issue with this remake. They changed events related to the story in ways that ruin the overall message. Pinocchio in the original film is convinced to join the puppet show instead of going to school. This is why he faces the consequences of his actions. In this movie he actually makes it to school, defeating the purpose of the life lesson. When Pinocchio goes to Pleasure Island he indulges in smoking and even implies he was breaking things with an axe. He's then transformed into a donkey which was a metaphor for saying he was being a jackass. In contrast in this movie he refused to break anything, there weren't any cigars, and kids drinking root beer is hardly a problem. Once again this movie missed the true purpose of why the scene worked in the original. Being turned into a half donkey in this movie isn't justified. The whole point of the original film is that Pinocchio doesn't know right from wrong and he's easily lead astray. And when he makes the wrong choices there are consequences for his actions. These experiences are meant to build his character into an individual that learned from his mistakes and eventually chooses to do the right thing. But in this movie he's already trying to do the right thing all along. Sure, he's easily convinced to do the wrong thing a few times almost choosing not to go to school, but Jiminy catches up with him convincing Pinocchio to go to school before he could complete his bad decision. Then there's the time where he selflessly put Geppetto before the puppet show and his donkey ears and tail vanish. The problem with this scene is it has no meaning because he never really tried to do anything wrong in the first place. When the plot is about learning from your mistakes and then the movie doesn't allow you to make them in the first place, you have failed to make a faithful adaptation.

Pinocchio was one of the handful of Disney VHSs I had growing up and ended up watching dozens of times. I haven't watched this remake and thus have no real opinion on its quality, but this makes it sound like it's just a different story that tries to wear the skin of the original but awkwardly with a different skeleton. Given the other Disney remakes I've seen, that wouldn't surprise me, and it's honestly a bit shocking how poorly any major Hollywood company, especially one with such a storied history, could keep misunderstanding its own past work.

Pa-na-chi-o is my favorite Disney movie. This "Pitch Meeting" had more soul than the movie you pitched.

“They get turned into donkeys and sold as slaves to the salt mines” will forever be my favorite quote ever.

"Oh, going to pleasure island is TIGHT!" "Uhh, somehow it makes me uncomfortable when you say that, sir." *"As it SHOULD."* That part was hilarious!

always love the "barely an inconvenience" bit

I kept hearing "glocks" instead of "clocks" and got really excited for this dark, gritty remake.

It's great to see how passionate the Screenwriter Guy is about Peenuochccio and how much he cares about writing him in the spirit of the original.

Let's thank Ryan for actually having to watch the movie to be able to make this pitch meeting.

When Lies of P is a better Pinocchio story than the movie

Now I'm wondering if there will be a Pinocchio Pich Meeting but the Gillermo del Toro version.

Love the way he constantly got Pinocchio's name wrong, but the best part was pleasure Island being "tight". That bit made me wheeze.

I wanted to know how bad this remake was without having watch it. This looks like it sums it up. I laughed at Pinocchio pushing the boat like he's Dash from The Incredibles. And it felt like Disney also completely gave up on this remake when they don't show if Pinocchio becomes real at the end 😂

Hey Ryan. Kind words. For your own edification, the "pinock knock. Who's there?", line worked well. That was it. Best laugh I have had in weeks. Thanks.

"Actually it's gonna be super easy! Barely an inconvenience!" Remains one of my favorite criticisms of what somehow seemed like a good idea to the writers. Always know something incredibly dumb is about to happen

"oh hell yeah get those dead relatives in here start this off like every other Disney movie" 😂 I love it

“Do you think we might be missing the entire point of the original?” “I don't care 😁” That killed me! Thank you for being someone who understands the monstrosity that is the Disney remakes.

"You think we might be missing the entire point of the original?" sums up every single live action remake they've ever done.

4:20, Assuming that was an accurate synopsis yes. Thought to be fair, so did del Toro and in the exact same way.

Weird that after 300 episodes they finally did one with no spoilers ahead

In this divided world, it’s nice to see when things like the Pinocchio remake can bring us together in our dislike for something

I love that the other two movies with Pinnochio in them that also came out in 2022 got a bunch more (well deserved) praise than the Disney live action.

Really love it when Producer Guy takes the time to spell out exactly what the different steps of a process are, so that we can analyze just how insane the requirements are for whatever that process is. Like at 1:53. Or the best example is transformers revenge of the fallen, when Producer Guy says something along the lines of “Shia LeBouf is going to die and go to Transformer heaven, and we are going to immortalize that image in cinema history!” 😂
