This one you might not know. This might be unknown to you. (Unless you are crazy chick like me and binge to all that concerns Andy Hallett - tv and music 😀).
This one was the last project Andy Hallett was involved in. It was back in 2005 when Andy got the part to this movie about Geppetto: Geppetto's Secret
Now, forget about everything you know about Pinocchio and Geppetto: this a modern day fairy tale, you get an inside to Geppetto’s true story, some magic tools get into a mission to find the magic wood that would help Geppetto get the son he wants.
Among Andy’s part, that would talk about it later, there are some big names taking part in this very special and unique story. Much more than a cartoon, this is a movie about the life before Pinocchio arrived to Geppetto’s life. “It’s the good guys vs bad guys, the chasing and the drama” as director Mark Schimmel explains.
A beautiful inside of the truth story about Geppetto. You will love it as much as I love it.
These magic tools played by Eric Roberts (Jack, Hammer), Quinton Flynn (Airon, the Pum), Robin Atkins-Downes (Phillip, Screwdriver) and Armin Shimerman (Leo, the paintbrush - Yes, Principal Snyder is in this one too!) get a very special assignment and have to go to the woods to get Geppetto’s (Tom Bosley) piece of wood but the evil Mr.Sneap (René Auberjonois) kidnaps it and they should save her from this wicked man.
This a passionate project that involved lots of talents people, much more than normal civil like you and I can’t imagine. Other characters in here: Bob Joyles (Dodo), Leslie Carrara (Lulu), Claudia Christian (Blue Fairy), Magic Wood (NIkki).
Andy plays Cricket, this funny character that helps the tool to their mission. And guess what? He sung some songs for the movie. You can tell by the little inside from the Vimeo video that it was a good part. A movie I would have loved. I am sure it could have been a hit if it ever got the chance.
Anyway, I want to share the Vimeo Video with you: I’m sure you are gonna like it.
If you can’t view the video right please, visit the link here.
Some other data: Geppetto’s secrect is directed by Mark Schimmel (an award winning director of content, commercials, television, short and feature films), one of his many recent accomplishments include directing the 2014 Wrangler Blue Jean commercial campaign featuring George Strait.
Written by Jill Gorey, Barbara Herndon. Produce by Jaime Hidalgo and D.James Taylor. Music and Voice director by Angelo Panetta.
I am sure I would have loved to see the end of this but unfortunately as I have been told, the movie was never finished so it was never released. I am hoping that someday, sometime we might get to listen to the songs he sung for the project.
I will keep you informed if I get some news on this movie.
Thanks for reading and visiting.
