Like many of the most macabre and disturbing books, the original was written as a "cautionary tale" for children by an author who pretty clearly did not like children very much The original version of the story straight up ends with Pinocchio being hanged for his many crimes

Yeah, if memory serves doesn't Honest John and his companion try to kill Pinnochio at one point, and by the end become homeless and desperate horrible wrecks (blind, eating their own limbs for food etc). Kid's stories rly didn't fuck about back then with their morality lessons.

I had nightmares about that donkey/beer scene for years, and still don't like alcohol.

I haven’t read the book, but you’re spot on with the Disney adaptation. It was scary~

It's fascinating how they turned the cricket that Pinocchio immediately murders in the book into a major character throughout the film.

Even as an adult I refuse to do the Pinocchio ride at Disney, because I did it once as a kid and the section with the child-donkeys in cages is FUCKING HORRIFIC.

I was precocious 7 and mom had children's classics books and I tried reading Pinocchio...still remember the drawing of the GHOST of talking cricket...after Pinocchio MURDERS it and other horrors. I had nightmares for weeks.
