came across a video this week that gets deep in the weeds on the classic story of pinocchio and the various ways it has been portrayed over the past century +.
had no clue that there was more to the story than the classic disney cartoon from the 40s , or that within the past decade there have been renowned film makers obsessed with the thought of re-creating the story in their own vision.
give it a watch if you have the time. jacob geller makes documentary-esq video essays on a lot of different topics , pulling from literature , video games , movies , art - you name it. highly recommend his content.
enjoy ,
