YMMV / The Golden Key, or the Adventures of Buratino

• Adaptation Displacement: Buratino is one of the most popular children's book characters in Russia and is much better known there than Pinocchio.
• Memetic Mutation: "Пациент скорее мёртв, чем жив" (The patient is more likely dead than alive). A common comment in Russian fan communities about works that entered development hell (especially if said works abandoned all hope).
