WOW! Spinolio is the very first video I ever saw on cable tv back in the early 1980's. I remember thinking back then that if all cable tv had this creativity, we were gonna get along just fine. Alas, it has gone to poop, BUT, I have never forgotten Spinolio. Thanks for making this great flick!
@@iliyanivanov7337 Ditto here, except the cynical cartoon video I saw had the same storyline, but involved a stuffed clown doll. I think I saw it on the Great Space Coaster.
How crazy is that. I thought I was the only one who would even remember this video. I finally remembered to search for it because I wanted to send it to my parents. We even had it recorded on a VHS tape which my parents probably still have somewhere. The good fairy she’s a come!! This has always stuck with me. 😊
Да уж. Мне сначала показалось, что это в первую очередь насмешка над системой, где человек-винтик,гвоздик,затычка и поэтому даже самая тупая деревяшка может сделать неплохую карьеру. Как-то так. Ну а тут, в комментах, смотрю, интерес больше направлен на исследование личностных качеств самого глав. героя, что вроде бы парадоксально, и тем не менее очень даже в точку )) Мульт-шедевр!
His whole life was made to be what everyone wanted him to be. He was artificial and hollow. After hitting rock bottom, he realized his mistakes and stopped caring about society, thus becoming an alcoholic, in a phase of life where he can be on his own and not have to become someone else's puppet. He is finally living, even though he had to pay that ultimate price for his freedom.

But there is no perfect balance though. Flat line = death. Balance is an activity not a state. Due to the law of entropy (chaotic things randomly become orderly and given enough time they become chaotic again and then the cycle renews) You inevitably lose your balance no matter if you are a Lama or whatever. So you have to constantly force yourself to return in balance. Also it's fine to deviate a little as long as you compensate for it. Sometimes you just have to do the wrong thing for the right reason.
Spinolio was certainly a good listener, and he did stay out of trouble and never did tell lies. It didn't seem to make any difference when he did become real, either. So you could say he had a happy ending, sort of.
When he was a puppet he couldn't feel suffering. Now he can. And he is thrown in the gutter of society and becoming an addict escapist. I am not counting that as a happy ending.
Shorts that HBO used to show between movies. I made a whole VHS tape of them but it got taped over by mistake. This was the best one. I've been looking for years!! THANK YOU!!!
I remember years ago, a cartoon with a very similar storyline, I think I saw it on the Great Space Coaster, but instead of Spinollio, it was a doll that looked like a clown that some girl got for a present then lost in an alleyway, it then got picked up by a homeless guy to help him beg for money, then it also got a job, and years later was given a watch for retirement. Somehow the clown wound up in the same alleyway where the little girl now grown up found him and took him home. If anyone can identify that one, I would be greatly appreciative!
I think this cartoon artfully illustrates the old adage: 80% of success is just showing up. As a teacher, I've encountered more than a few Spinolio's in my career.
There are three boys in life. Pinocchio,Buratino,and Spinnolio. Pinocchio learns to be a good boy though a combination of hard work and effort and may or may not be rewarded depending on his choices, Buratino finds his own path and discovers his inner peace, Spinnolio does nothing in life,desires nothing,and as such is given nothing.
It is incredibly comforting to know I am not the only one searching for this. I was sure I saw it on MTV soon after launch but guess it was HBO. Thanks bunches for posting:-) :-)
One of the meanings: we all often become puppets in the system: the ideal product of a consumer society that manipulates people. The fairy turned a wooden soulless puppet into a living being, but its essence did not change from this action: garbage remained garbage.
His whole life was made to be what everyone wanted him to be. He was artificial and hollow. After hitting rock bottom, he realized his mistakes and stopped caring about society, thus becoming an alcoholic, in a phase of life where he can be on his own and not have to become someone else's puppet.

Por un momento pensé que era la versión canadiense de pornocho, de cualquier modo me parece más real este muchacho labrado de madera, se enfrenta al mundo al que muchos lo hacen en esta sociedad contemporánea.
I love how Spinnolio is a representation of the invention of social media and it’s effects on society. He is born out of need from a mad man and tossed into the world where he is used by others. wordless people abusing and using him until he is turned into one of them himself.
6:29 "That's nothing, aha. Let me tell you about the time I had all these guys up against a wall and I says, "Boys, you better pray. Cuz I'm gonna blow you all to kingdom come. Ahahha! And you know what I did? I blew them all to kingdom come! Ahahaha!" I can't stop laughing at this 🤣🤣🤣
Mum used to tell me about this cartoon. I must’ve seen it when I was about 13. Just as funny now as it was then. Saw It on a triple bill with Bambi Meets Godzilla And thank you masked man
A much better rewrite of the original (Goldilocks and the Three Bears). I remember seeing this thirty odd years back on British TV back when I was a youngster- I'm fifty now! My wife didn't believe it existed, it only came to mind because she was watching Once upon a time.
All of us are dummies, it doesn't matter what we do, or don't do, we all end up on the scrapheap, after a 100 years, no-one would even remember our name.
I remember Spinnolio, he was my boss for two years. Nice guy, very quiet.
Nice achievement you had.
Lucky you
I was married to Spinnolio not for a long period of time
В тихом омуте черти водятся.
Yea I smoked a joint with with him and we were dating for a while, but his wood just wouldn't wood...😅
This is like Pinocchio with less magic, more reality and an entire town on drugs.
It's satire.😉
🤣🤣🤣
It's more real than people think.
4:21 *It all started when I was 3. My mother wouldn’t buy me a rhinoceros. All the other kids had pets...And I hated my cat...*

Got me
the only pets I had were fishes and they all died

This cartoon has more plot, life lessons and character development than today's cartoon channels. Congratulations it was amazing.
for the first minute and a half, i thought this was gonna be Pinocchio
"was gonna be LIKE", instead... with names like Spinnolio and Giuseppo, u'd expect that this will be LIKE Pinocchio.
Hello.. It is Pinocchio, but an italian version..
Nancy Martinez - as opposed to?
@@thelwulfeoforlic6482 the American ofcourse..
@@nancymartinez6872 - Ah cos there was me thinking Carlo Collodi (the author of Pinocho born in Florence in 1826) WAS Italian
I've learned the lesson, in this world, you are more success beeing a fake human instead a true one.
That's a better theory than the "this is about child abuse"
I agree
Youre right
Hmm good
I missed the part where he was success
Boring
Moral - Everyone used you as they want
Poor Spinnolio
Thanks

Best interpretation! I definetly agree with you!!!

It looked like it was a whole different take on Pinocchio. But this is getting to be a whole lot funnier.
I remember Mr.Spinnolio was my class teacher very genius and calm. Never became angry for our innocence mistakes etc

I remember seeing this on "O Canada" back in the day.
I also love some of the music in this cartoon...it has a unique 70's chill vibe.

If spinolio truly became happy then why did he turned into a human like that
Moral- be someone's pet, give what they want, stay quiet, and wait a hundred years for a fairy to turn u a real person spectacular

Saw it decades ago at a Spike and Mike’s festival of animation.
I remember those days
th-cam.com/video/5CCpjKa_ryM/w-d-xo.html
I remember Spinnolio,
He was there in a dump yard doing kinky stuff with broken dolls. He's not what he looks like 😅
The fairy was getting nailed somewhere… look how spinnolio turned out.
Moral: people look for life lessons in a parody of Pinocchio
"The Deaf Shall See" and "The Blind Shall Hear" 💀💀💀
I remember years ago, a cartoon with a very similar storyline, I think I saw it on the Great Space Coaster, but instead of Spinollio, it was a doll that looked like a clown that some girl got for a present then lost in an alleyway, it then got picked up by a homeless guy to help him beg for money, then it also got a job, and years later was given a watch for retirement. Somehow the clown wound up in the same alleyway where the little girl now grown up found him and took him home.

“Unauthorized personell only”
It is incredibly comforting to know I am not the only one searching for this. I was sure I saw it on MTV soon after launch but guess it was HBO. Thanks bunches for posting:-) :-)
I remember seeing this all the way back on Adultswim late at night when it was still a new programming, good times.
He just get a sharp knife out of his pocket.. legend.
Fairy godmother, you're not needed at this stage!!
Oh look, Spinolio predicted machines and computers replacing people's jobs and minimum wage hikes.
You will never feel the real life until you become real and treat your self as a respected person by your own ...

But
"Live happily ever after?"

I'm almost certain that was sarcastic.

“And I says” 😂😂
So funny they’re still believin’ that that Pinaychio is a type of livin’ creature!
Pinocchio has always done well, so the fairy makes it a real man.
But Pinocchio sees through life, what other goal is there to live?

That was good!! I think if I had been made of wood life would have been much more interesting...but I wouldn't have known it. You can't win.
They had us in the first half not gunnna lie.
It’s sad for the poor puppet, he was used by society until they didn’t need him anymore so he is then cast aside by them forgotten and unwanted.
This is GOLD.
