Pinocchio (2002)

Pinocchio is a 2002 Italian fantasy comedy-drama film directed by and starring Roberto Benigni. It is based on The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi, with Benigni portraying Pinocchio. Filming took place in Italy and Kalkara, Malta. It was dedicated to costume and production designer Danilo Donati, who died on 1 December 2001.

Dubbing History
In the United States and Canada, Miramax released the film on Christmas Day with no advance screening. Miramax said that this is because they needed to do post-production looping to insert the English dub for its English-speaking release. Edward Guthmann, a film reviewer for the San Francisco Chronicle, thought that this was because Miramax knew the film would not be well-received, and sought to have it released before critics placed their opinions on the film. After the English dubbed version was poorly received, Miramax reissued the film in Italian with English subtitles.
