On that note, there is a recent live action Pinocchio film [1] that is very faithful to the book and absolutely magical; with Roberto Benigni playing Geppetto no less. It has some highly entertaining scathing reviews on Amazon of not being family-safe and faithful to "the original" from people who think Pinocchio was invented by Disney and use the animated movie as a reference for their critiques. As hilarious as it is sad. Remembering my dad reading us Pinocchio as a kids and visiting Tuscany around that time, too, with my family, this movie is as close to what I can remember imagining it, as it gets.
