The story of Pinocchio has been around for 100’s of years, there has been many adaption of this story. Most people well know this story as many people would have seen the Disney version as a child with their family.
This is not the first time Chicken Shed has done Pinocchio as a Christmas show, but the difference is with a the Chickenshed version that it does not have your normal pantomime styles show as many different companies put on at Christmas time.
Pinocchio is so known for the Disney sometimes when come to see a theatre version of the story people want it to be the same as the one they loved as a child. But with the version of the story the way that it has been done has taken so far way of the from the Disney version but still have the magic of the story and Film.
As someone who as a child I was not fan of the story I do feel that after seen this production of this show I do feel that it has changed my point of view on this story. As they have taken this story and made it not as dark as it is in the book and they have done this by making the story more fun based then the way it was before as they have taken out the bit where the children that skip school and go and have fun and drink beer and smoke by taken them to the land of Freetime but still keeping the fact that they turn in to donkeys but not showing them turn in to them as some companies have done. Which I feel has made the story have the feel of more of a family feel to it has before it was a bit dark for children.
A never big way that I do feel that they have made the story more of a family story is by add some many songs in to the show which feel more like a family show and also gives the audience more of a chance to feel a part of the show and also helps it be more of a open piece of work as if you have never seen the Disney version you can still full in love with these songs.
Pinocchio has had many different versions of its story. I do feel that the most loved versions of the story. But I do believe that people are still going to have the Disney version as the most loved one of all time but I do feel that this version of Pinocchio does show you a different side to this lovely story by given it more of a Family feel to it by leaving the Dark side of the story out.

ReplyDeletedo you have any sources to back up what you are talking about in this piece of writing - sometimes a couple of references help 'authenticate' your idea.
For instance what is the essence of the Disney version or the book version from a critical literary source?
References can be cited into the text with Harvard style and then listed at the end (see p. 26 of Handbook). We mentioned at the class workshop that with this word count, you might only have room for a couple of references.

Murat,
ReplyDeleteThis is a good start. A few things;
1. A few qoutes to strengthen your argument would really help u. your personal response is impressive, try adding some critics that either disagree or agree with what your trying to say.
2. You use 'I feel' quite alot, try and use some other words to show your point, as it does become repetative.
All in all its a wicked piece, fantastic even!!
