->''"In the year 2022, three [[Animation/PinocchioATrueStory different]] [[Film/Pinocchio2022Disney Pinocchio]] [[WesternAnimation/GuillermoDelTorosPinocchio movies]] were released— two of which were made by UsefulNotes/AcademyAward-winning filmmakers— and I thought, 'That's fine.' In the year 2023, [[VideoGame/LiesOfP one of the best games of the year]] was a spin on the popular [[SoulsLikeRPG 'soulslike']] genre, except instead of medieval knights or Lovecraftian beasts, the game based its lore on… Pinocchio. And I thought, 'Seems normal to me!' But for some reason, learning that legendary directors Creator/FrancisFordCoppola, Creator/FedericoFellini and Creator/StanleyKubrick all had dreams of making a Pinocchio film, and were only stopped by death or massive lawsuits has pushed me over the edge. Like, there isn’t some other Pinocchio, right? I haven't missed something? We’re talking about the puppet? The fairy tale?''

->''"[[DerivativeWorks/{{Pinocchio}} In the past 80 years]], there have been at least fifteen explicit film adaptations of Pinocchio, even more TV specials and [[PublicDomainCharacter 'guest appearances']], countless books for both children and adults, and an ever-growing list of projects that may not have “Pinocchio” in the title but are, in one way or another, twists on the same story of a little wooden boy. What is it about a puppet without strings that requires so many different artistic interpretations? It’s not like [[Creator/FrancisFordCoppola Coppola]], [[Creator/GuillermoDelToro Del Toro]], [[Creator/FedericoFellini Fellini]], [[Creator/RobertZemeckis Zemeckis]], [[Creator/StevenSpielberg Spielberg]], [[Creator/ItaloCalvino Calvino]], [[Creator/StanleyKubrick Kubrick]] were all dying to untangle the mystery of Literature/{{Goldilocks}}. I want to understand this, I need an answer, and over the past several months I’ve consumed so much Pinocchio-based art I feel like I’m losing my mind. Because here’s the twist: there’s not a simple reason all these artists are obsessed with Pinocchio, because Pinocchio isn’t about anything. '''It’s about everything!'''"''
