Interesting facts

  • Based on: The Adventures of Pinocchio

Geppetto is a 2000 American television musical film based on the popular 1883 Italian children's book The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi starring Drew Carey and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The film, which retells the story from the perspective of the titular character Geppetto, features some elements of the 1940 animated film such as the character of Figaro, the song "I've Got No Strings", as well as Pleasure Island. It features original songs written by Stephen Schwartz. Schwartz had developed the songs as a reunion for stars Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, but Andrews was undergoing throat surgery so the idea was dropped.
