^Honestly, if somebody did a low budget version for Peacock starring him, I would watch.

They offered me the role but I turned it down, even gave me my own security escort off the premises and they felt so guilty that I'm now banned from all Disney property to give me time to heal and forgive.

Back to Pinnochio . . .

looks great ^
I love Pinocchio ---so many versions---as a kid seeing the name spelled similar to my last name was cool---I grew up around super white or Jewish neighbors --no Ialians. I felt represented as a 8 year old. lol

The lesson of Pinocchio:

Love, respect and obey your parents.

Attend school.

Don't join up with group of traveling actors (or any other group for that matter) who tell you life is easy and you can do anything and have anything and everything you want with no adverse consequences.

Don't tell lies.

By the way, in the original novel--which is much more than a simple children's story and long, hundreds of pages, long--Pinocchio kills "il Grillo Parlante", that is, the Talking Cricket, who afterwards only appears as a ghost.

The fairy, I will also add, has a much longer and complex role in the original:

I love it when melanonin challenged people lose their shit over diversity casting in fantasy stories and fairy tales.

That´s not Pinocchio! It´s Ebonio!

Get your fairy tales straight!

Pinocchio is still my favorite Disney animated film. I just lose it at the opening scene of the city. I love Gepetto. And Cleo. And even the bad guys.

The title of this thread reminds of a poem by Freddie Grrenfield, which appeared in the book "Gay & Lesbian Poetry in Our Time: An Anthology":

OH GOD FORBID

Oh God Forbid
Oh God Forbid
Oh God Forbid

Thats a woman. Women can have muscles too.

For some reason, I get a feeling that it isn't just the "angry redneck fairies".

Let me reiterate for the audience, that "he" is emmy, grammy and tony award winner cynthia erivo. and again, women can have muscles too.
