Copyright© Walt Disney ProductionsMore Information
Pinocchio exemplifies Walt Disney’s populist approach of adapting gruesome children’s stories into fun and happy animations. In the original story by Carlo Collodi, The Adventures of Pinocchio, the unruly puppet learns only through brutal force and torture. Disney changed these circumstances by making Pinocchio himself more likable and enhancing the role of Jiminy Cricket as Pinocchio’s guide, as seen here in Pinocchio: Jiminy’s Sermon.
