'''''The Adventures of Pinocchio''''' was an Italian animated film directed by Raoul Verdini and Umberto Spano. Italian artist Mario Pompei did the scenography of this black-and-white film. Created and produced by Cartoni Animati Italiani Roma (CAIR) and distributed by De Vecchi, this cartoon was based on the famous children's book ''The Adventures of Pinocchio'' by Carlo Collodi. The film was intended to be the first animated feature film from Italy, but was never completed; if the film was finished, it also would have been the first animated film adaptation based on the novel of the same name. It is now considered lost, only the original script and a couple of still frames are all that survived of the film.

New Pinocchio

An original screeshot from the film.

The Adventures of Pinocchio was an Italian animation film made by CAIR. If it was released it would have been Italy's first animated movie and it also would have been the first animated film adaptation of the novel. The film was meant to be released in 1936. However, the production was troubled as they were dealing with many technical and internal problems. The film went way over budget and this caused the company to run out of money to make the film and CAIR ceased all productions. This caused the film to be stored away. Raoul Verdini, who was one of the animators, tried to complete the film and also attempted to convert the movie to color (since the film was in black and white). The attempts were unsuccessful and the movie remained unfinished. The film is assumed to be lost and the only things that exist are a few stills and the script. Some people argue that the film still exists in the archives of the American Study.
