      >There is no Pleasure Island in this story. Instead of being transformed into a donkey after living too large (one of the scariest parts of the classic Disney movie), Pinocchio is targeted by the government officials who hear tell of the boy made of wood and believe he might have other applications. “He is recruited into the village military camp, because the fascist official in town thinks if this puppet cannot die, it would make the perfect soldier,” del Toro says.

        He coulda told somebody eventually. It just doesn’t happen in the movie because he had a lot going on and it wasn’t immediately pressing compared to the other shit he had to deal with for basically the entire film after he left Pleasure Island. Iirc, he finds out Geppetto was eaten by Monstro immediately after his escape, and then he has to go find him. I think he does tell Geppetto on screen about the time Stromboli kidnapped him, though, so it’s not like he intentionally stays quiet about that sort of thing.

However there is a more worrying issue with the fact that Lampy has a few things in common with Irish caricatures, and it could be that him being left to slave away as a donkey for the rest of his life "just isn't a big deal."

      here apparently right before he attempts to find geppetto, honest john was supposed to have come back a third time but Pinocchio doesn’t listen to him this time(rule of three) and he and Gideon get arrested by the police, it wasn’t done because of time constraints and feature length animation was still a nightmare to make

      I feel that the message would be lost a bit if they did. They only managed to take advantage of Pinocchio because he was lazy, disobedient, and irresponsible. If they get punished then the message would go from "don't be a crappy kid" to "don't be a crappy adult". It would sort of miss the point. Which is why they will definitely do it like that in the shitty live-action remake.

          It's extremely disproportionate in real life too. If a kid skips school to go with two strangers who offer to take him to a puppet show he can end up way worse than any of the kids in that movie.

          Yeah, but the point of Pinocchio isn't that. It's not a cautionary tale for adults. It's a cautionary tale for kids. Evil people like that are always going to be around and they're not always going to be caught. The original intent is that children make themselves vulnerable to people like that if they refuse to listen to their parents.

        This. The movie was trying to tell audiences that people like Stromboli, Fox and Cat, and the Coachman can only thrive on the foolish, naive, and ignorant to take advantage of.

        [...]

        Carrousel horses maybe? If there was a pleasure Island for girls were they get to be antisocial, destructive, and irresponsible like the boys. They'd be turned into carrousel ponies sold to amusement parks. They would be trapped in a cycle were random strangers ride them for entertainment and leave. It would be the most G-rated (but still horrifying) way of saying they'd end up exploited as "easy girls" or prostitutes.

          That’s too much horror. Inanimate is creepy yo.

          Maybe just have them become mares to be sold to the circus as well, you know, white neat ones to be dressed up and paraded.

          Might not hit home though for little girls since they tend to have a facination with horses

        The world was fricking terrifying for the longest time, kids were stolen, starved and killed at seemingly random which is why fairy tales were so 'dark' and why they grew up so fast. My parents grew up in Guatamala and people like Honest John and the Coachman were absolutely real and still are real in parts of the world, even the civilized parts have it's underbelly which is why I hate the the cleaning up of classic fairy tales even beyond the original disnyleyfication

          I think those grim fairy tales are still important
          Western kids in developed worlds have this sanitized view of their environment
          It is important to teach them lessons like 'don't go with strangers' and 'stay on the road/path'
          It isn't bad that there are cute shows for them but they need to learn the hard lessons too
          Disney sanitizing those fairytales, robbing then off their inherent messages destroyed entire generations
