Pinocchio Book--Quick Run down After the recent Q drops, I was curious what year Pinocchio came out (never watched it). 1940. So that means the Pedos arrived early. and figured out how to game the system. Creepy. Of course most of you have probably heard the things Shirley Temple had to say about it; and know what Judy Garland went through. Disney himself moved to Hollywood in 1923. The original Pinochio by Carlo Collodi and published in 1883 has no references to Pleasure Island or missing boys, instead it is a children's book that has more in common with traditional children's stories of the time--hence, instead of keeping these elements--which are quite interesting and imaginative on their own, Disney added all the creepy subtext. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Pinocchio Oddly (or perhaps not considering the legions of Disney fans) most of the articles I found thought that it was somehow more terrifying that in Collodi's story, Pinocchio goes to Toy Island and gets turned into a donkey. That apparently is more frightening then going to Pleasure Island where boys disappear.....
