He offers gold to his pawns who now seem completely terrified of him as he whispers his plan to traffic the kids off to a nice little place called Pleasure Island. Pinocchio narrowly avoided being transformed into a donkey, and escaped with just a donkey tail and ears. Last but not least, is it impossible that Paris successfully revolts against a crazed judge who decided to bring the fight to their most precious cathedral in the square? There the boys are free to do whatever they please, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, ⦠The park was owned and operated by The Coachman, who made a fortune from his crooked deeds, and is seen in the film when the Coachman brings Pinocchio, Lampwick and a coachload of other boys to the park. Gideon is a short, slender brown anthropomorphic cat with a tan face and a neck, a cream muzzle, green eyes, a lavender shirt with a yellow cape, white opera gloves, purple pants, and an old gray top hat. Bring home the timeless tale that inspired the world to wish upon a star. Earlier, he insisted there was no risk in illegally trafficking children to an island cut off from civilization because…. Now, the half-donkey character is explicitly dead. It’s an interesting piece of the Disney canon. The Blue Fairy plays along and questions Pinocchio as to whether he was afraid. Pinocchio is a 2019 Italian fantasy film, co-written and directed by Matteo Garrone, and based on the 1883 book The Adventures of Pinocchio by Italian author Carlo Collodi. Also, the evil influence of the island seems to wear off if the visitor is lucky enough to escape in time. Gepetto is the victim and his puppet is the villian from beginning to end. I am very interested. The sun's rays cast away the shadows and horrors of the Coachman's evil operation on the island and brought with it a new hope of peace and tranquility for the boys turned donkeys that now would make the island their home. Beautiful! I love this article. Pinocchio has to face the world itself and needed to be rescued one too many times by the Fairy herself. Was it really a lie? I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. All this seems even stranger when you consider that the movie’s most famous song, “When You Wish Upon A Star” is pretty much the unofficial anthem of the Disney company. i’ll handle this myself!” again I think an important message to take responsibility and don’t tell on someone… I would love to hear your response to this. In some cases, they are in the open. Pleasure Island is a theme park located on an island and is accessed there by ferry. Pinocchio is a film that does stuff Disney never does. After a brief reunion and a smart attempt to orchestrate an escape, Pinocchio is ultimately killed saving his father from the whale. There’s nobody here to stop you.”. Honest John and Gideon continue their miserable lives in the Village based on misery,petty crimes,stupidity,illiteration,going in and outta the prison,incapable to fool Pinocchio now a real and responsible boy and they wasted the opportunity to exploit his unique “ability” of being a living,talking and stringless wooden puppet and without sense of value for money(just listen the song “HONEST JOHN”). I look forward to rewatching with your analysis in mind. Good essay, but I suggest you be more accurate when referring to things such as ‘pedophilia’. It would have also been fascinating to read some analysis about the themes of responsibility and accountability which are some key themes of Pinocchio. I really enjoyed reading your article. I played a spooky clown at Pleasure Island) and having read the original Collodi tale. Another thing to point out, in pleasure island the kids dont do anithing bad “per se” (except destruction), they gamble, play pool, drink and smoke. But if the Coachman intends to keep them silent, the only way out is death. The same thing happened in the book as well. And these lines are lies. Pinocchio was not exactly tied in a sack but when he is clearly in a cage at the time, it is not the worst lie to tell either. Nice Work! Some of the donkeys did not immediately lose their human voices, and were placed in a pen by the Coachman - what happened to them next was unclear, although presumably they were either kept there until they finally lost their ability to talk, killed by the Coachman, or were used to pull his stagecoach. âShrek 2âLetâs peel back all the layers of this onion.Everyone loves a good conspiracy theory. The temptations the fairy warned against seem to be affecting even our guide. Please Island was very honest, open and direct with everyone, kids and adults alike. When I was little this movie I always blamed Gepetto for not going back and saving all the other boys who had been turned into donkeys. They just looked so gruesome to be in a family/kids movie. But the man who lives alone with his cat and goldfish has the craziest wish ever. Pinocchio is known, far and wide as the puppet who strived to become a boy, who learned to live up to the qualities required of a real boy: to be ‘brave, truthful and unselfish.’ His quest is the primary plot with deviations and digressions, telling the story so realistically it puts modern kids to shame. It's possible he was once a boy who ended up on Pleasure Island. Turns out I’m not crazy. Pinocchio may get second chances, but not these boys. I was born in rural Kentucky, USA and now live abroad in Lebanon where I majored in English Language and Literature. Thus far, the movie has been fine. This is just sad. He even gets rid of the ones who can talk, those who inexplicably still retain the power of speech such as Alexander, and only God knows what happens to them. Her very direct role in giving him life and saving his life, as a sort of model of goodness despite all odds against him in the most dire of situations, he needed her desperately. There is nothing wrong with Disney’s optimism and idealism in other films. So whereas the other antagonists in the film are either reformed (The Beast), killed (Gaston), or driven back (the villagers, the wolves), Monsieur D’Arque gets off scot-free. Whereas the Beast, Gaston, the villagers, the Enchantress, and the rabid wolves all have some logical motivations for their actions, the Asylum owner is a corrupt, sadistic official who clearly derives pleasure in torturing people that society has ostracized as “crazy” or different. The Hunchback certainly. Of course, maybe “stay away from evil or face consequences” was really disney’s intention at that time and context, but NOWADAYS can we really say that? You can hear it briefly in Tobacco Row sequence,in Pleasure Island. As a little kid I used to watch Pinocchio often, and I remember I didn’t find it (nor I did with Dumbo )so dark as Snowhite or The Sleeping Beauty, I only remember this strange feeling… like if I was watching something forbidden, too much harsh, bigger than me. Pinocchio is an instant success in the theater to such an extent, Jiminy Cricket starts to doubt himself. As for the ones who could still talk, I had thought- although I could be wrong- that he was just holding them there until they, too, lost their ability to speak. That part really disturbed me when I was little, I refused to watch it for years and I’d run out of the room or hide under the covers whenever my siblings would put it on and that scene would come on, I’d also have recurring nightmares about being turned into a donkey and being shoved into a crate sometimes along with my siblings and cousins. Approaching the island via a man-made tunnel that must have taken an untold amount of time and money to construct, the ship finally reaches its destination, Pleasure Island. Enter: The Blue Fairy for the second time. Otherwise, the truth the viewer must face is too terrible. Images and media related to Pleasure Island. I do think the Blue Fairy plays an important role here, she seems to be the mentor for Pinnochio. In 1875, he entered the world of childrenâs literature and used this outlet to transmit his political convictions. I watched this movie as a kid and watched it again today, many years later as an adult with my own child. He survived the torture and escaped before it got too bad but his ears and tail and even random bray still remained, he was ashamed to speak of it to his father, was scared of even mentioning it because he was scarred from the experience. And Disney is trying to teach little boys (and girls) the lesson of life AND TAKING RESPONSIBILITY for your own actions and not blame others, but be accountable. there is way more symbolism and foreshadowing in these classics than we ever knew, making them very similar to George Orwell’s (animated) Animal Farm.. lol. They can eat whatever they want, drink whatever they want, ice cream, dil pickles, beer, cigarettes, cigars, picking fights for the fun of it, destruction… all of them were mentioned explicitly. A plump man in a red suit spills piles of gold provided Honest John gets him ‘stupid little boys’ to take to a place called ‘Pleasure Island,’ a place John implies is illegal, fearing the law might come after them. Pinocchio is the only Disney movie to do this. But when the Puppet master Stromboli locks Pinocchio in, Jiminy pops in to help and the wooden puppet realizes where he went wrong. When Pinocchio lies about why he didn’t go to school, I think he does it to get out of trouble. And you notice that Pinocchio also has it more difficult than other Disney protagonists in a certain way. Foulfellow and Gideon have their comeuppance from the beginning and earlier because they never went to school,they do petty crimes like stupid cons,little thefts and cheats, they have problems with law and authorities on a daily basis, they are stupid and illiterate guys,they live in misery and have a strage idea of theirs about “plenty of money”,and they get swindled by other and more bad and smart guys. The disturbing part is that these boys were rebels and troublemakers who resented their family–Pleasure island is all about indulging in those things parents restrict you from. The boy had literally no idea what a school was before he was being sent to one. Is it impossible that a Prince armed with a sword and shield and backed by three fairies can defeat a dragon? I never read the book. She is the benevolent solution and in so doing, provided Pinocchio with the rebirth he needed (notice his donkey ears and tail are gone) and he is set to live happily ever after. Netflix’s The White Tiger Trailer: Create Your Own Fate, The Complex Lessons of Environmentally-Motivated Animation, Samurai Jack: Exploring the Newfound Maturity. Usually, there is something to be seen in many Disney movies ranging from the 1930’s to the 1990’s. She decides that Gepetto deserves to have his wish granted, and gives Pinocchio the gift of life. The Coachmanis the owner of the island and takes all the bad boys collected by himself (or others he hires for the job) from various towns and villages to the island. I am SHOCKED. So Disney got better at it (you still have to watch em) and you the viewer are better for it. The Blue Fairy. People do not listen to their conscience, the vast majority of humans in the movie are terrible, even kids Pinocchio’s own age go astray, and Pinocchio is nonetheless asked to become the lone light in a sea of darkness. That donkey part made me cry. Acting is not a distinguished career no matter how much press they get. With that understanding its hard not to come away thinking “you can’t change the whole world” – not unlike Pinocchio. I still wander how so much dark, violent and gruesome scenes could have been introduced in a Disney film for children and families, and more how could have been allowed in the Hays Code time, when were banned (or very controlled) for example violence against children and animals, sympathy for illicit behaviors, property damage, alcohol drinking (few years after the Prohibition time), drugs, fires, images of death, animal nudity (! They’re portrayed as bad things to do and if anything influenced me to be a good boy myself, lol. Now, watching it again, and reading your article, I know the reason and the essence of those feelings . At the beginning of the first film, we learn of Lord Farquaadâs ban of all fairytale creatures. The curse apparently only affected little boys, as the Coachman, his minions and Jiminy were not affected. We already established that the Coachman is responsible for illegal child trafficking, transporting them to a Fun land called Pleasure Island, (a word that many adults associate directly with sex) and luring them there with fun, candy, anything a kid could want. They just get away with their actions. To see this, every last truth, lie, lesson, virtue and villain Pinocchio has to offer must be examined. It takes pain, blood, sweat, tears and abuse before you get there and once you do, you are scarred. Anyway, I wish I’d had this analysis to give them a framework to understand what’s going on here! He is also a pedophile. I think what you actually mean is child molestation/forced sex work. Until… the Blue Fairy decides to resurrect him as a real boy, flesh and blood. It’s all well and good that Pinocchio and company survived, but what about the hundreds of kids getting sold into donkey slavery? The story of the Metamorphoses bears many resemblances with Pinocchio by its story line, its spiritual allegory and its theme of occult initiation. I suspect part of the reason Pinocchio can get away with being so disturbing is Jiminy Cricket, our narrator and entryway into what appears to be a cozy, sentimental, but fundamentally lonely world. Pinocchio is a story of a carpenter named Geppetto (Pronounced: "Ja PEDO") who talks to his cat, fish, toys, and a doll in the shape of a young boy, who he calls Pinocchio, who he wishs to be a real boy (I wonder why). Other than that, he was also offended at how some of the shots of Pinocchio when he’s unconscious and lying in the water. In other words, Pinocchio must complete a task which is perhaps more impossible than any protagonist has ever had to complete in a Disney movie. Looking forward to your reply! Things get absolutely crazy, even for a Disney movie here. Pinocchio's adventure on Pleasure Island had taken place nearly two months ago, back when he was just a wooden puppet in search of becoming a real boy. Everyone else is miserable. She is the solution to all problems presented: lifeless puppet, overgrown nose, locked cage, man-eating whale, or death. What was it Jiminy said about a conscience? It took enough liberties with their storytelling to an extent that even the artists behind the Hunchback of Notre Dame did not dare to attempt. There are stories about a deleted scene in which Honest John and Gideon meet Pinocchio for a third time but are arrested. Can we really say that it’s a ~child~’s fault if something this dark happens to them and not the adult’s? It brings to mind Spring Breakers, which had a slightly more adult take on the pleasures and perversions of Pleasure Island. The children are trafficked to âPleasure Islandâ hinting at sexual pleasure. Who among us has not forgotten our good values at time, and just decided to indulge? By this point in Hunchback, a death has already happened. After chasing them away, guests travel through the old workshop and find all the old pup⦠Honestly, Tarzan was not really about defeating villains either and lo, Clayton still got the axe. ð Pinocchio will be available for the first time on Digital HD & Disney Movies Anywhere 1/10 and Blu-ray 1/31. While all other Disney movies flaunt the lie that is happily ever after, Pinocchio gives it to the audience straight. Even the Fairy Godmother let Cinderella go it alone. And this is where Pinocchio does what no Disney film has ever done and will ever do in the future, they allowed the tragedy to continue. Pinocchio smiled as he watched the sun rise over Pleasure Island. My husband and I watched this movie last night for the first time and we’re both horrifed. By all means. (I’m sorry for my English LOL). It made me feel sick and scared and sad. Pinocchio has every intention of going to school. This, in that sense represents the very first lesson we are taught with another coming shortly. I think he solely wanted to turn the boys into donkeys to sell them. Punishment for evil doers need no be explicitly observed ,for there is just compensation that we all must face. They waste unique than rare chances and they wear the same ripped and ruined clothes. I am quite surprised because I personally LOVE Pinocchio but I have a friend who does dislike it. “Smoke your heads off. This ties in with the point that Pinocchio is the sole light in a world of evil. you know just like how kids do when they get in trouble they will try to blame their friend or the other guy, but they will learn quick they cannot do this and cannot snitch, for if they don’t learn to take responsibility as children they will have a hell of a time as adults. In fact, it is a sort of truth. I guess as a kid I wouldn’t catch the almost blatant meaning, but I am amazed that this scene is in a child’s movie. So is it really right to say it was Pinocchio’s fault that he strayed towards “evil”? Also, as a child I was horrified of the donkey scene and it still til this day watching it years later meant a general visceral nightmare —painting a picture of a specific crime is outside the realm of what’s shown. Among the places where the boys could misbehave were the Roughhouse, where they were encouraged to fight, the Model Home, which was open for vandalism and destruction, and food, alcohol and tobacco was made freely available. OMG I hated this book…It was just a little-kid creepy vibe… Never saw the movie…. It sounds like as though your students, weren’t knowledgeable of Disney. Father more than master, really. Ghislaine Maxwell was far worse than Jeffrey Epstein when it came to abusing young women and girls, according to their most outspoken accuser â in fact, she was âGepettoâ to his âPinocchio.â That’s just my take, but Pinocchio wasn’t raised. I also found Disney Wiki’s analysis of their own movie a bit of an interesting read, particularly this chunk: “Origin– You HAVE to watch this lecture “Jordan Peterson – On Pinocchio”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YhVruKGkjs. The next scene starts with Mr. 15 PLEASURE ISLAND ⦠that’s what I get for being sleep deprived. ::::shudders:::: Now I get why!! Even though, Disney is known for bright and cheerful movies, Disney is no stranger to the dark side. But yes, the pleasure island sequence has often stuck out in my mind. The ones who still speak like that poor little Alexander (the one donkey in all of fiction that probably wrenches hearts just thinking about him), are unaccounted for. And there are plenty of people in the world, such as the Coachman, who will take advantage of that.”. Gepetto is a weirdo and people probably know that. I think they will find a way home to there parents house. Following a nuclear strike on Italy, a Blue Fairy comes down and brings Pinocchio to life. Its very possible I never got into smoking because of how haunting this movie is. Pinocchio, once he regained his conscience, escaped the prison of profane life and escaped Pleasure Island. Personally, I never thought much of Pinocchio, but perhaps if I saw it again I could somehow appreciate the dark parts for being faithful to the dark nature of classic children’s stories a la the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christen Anderson. Killed. Of course, it’s not the only film but it is the only Disney film to do so. It makes me want to look at all those people who say, “Oh, Pinocchio is the sweetest little Disney classic” and say, “You’re new here, right?” Compared to the stuff you outlined here, Hunchback of Notre Dame is downright tame. I would like an opinion, if it can be still be offered, on the following; I have read a synopsis of the original Pinocchio Adventures book and that version did not end well nor is Pinocchio ever redeemable or redeemed. There are two possible meanings to these words. As for Tarzan and Atlantis… do tell. In particular, he got mad at the scene that depicted the kids smoking cigars because when I saw it as a kid, I started picking up objects and pretended to smoke them. Some of them were darker than others with Hunchback of Notre Dame usually taking the cake, some even putting Black Cauldron and Sleeping Beauty up on that special pedestal. IN a last ditch effort to appear the victim in the trail of events that he enjoyed up till the end while not going to school as he was told, Pinocchio lies about being chopped into fire wood–even though it is clear that he is whole. The lesson is that lying cannot protect you, and Pinocchio is destined to endure more dire situations when this becomes apparent. Pinocchio insists he was not afraid but he was tied in a sack. wow! Every time, even though I knew Pinocchio would escape because I watched it ten times, I prayed and prayed that Pinocchio would be ok. I’ll be unhappy with Disney if he had actual death in mind here. The Coachman may be got away unpunished,but after Pinocchio’s escape has probably interrupted his business on Pleasure Island. The Trope Namer, of course, is the amusement park in Pinocchio that causes boys to turn into donkeys ... the only "playing" that ensues is when a conspiracy of complete strangers spend the whole movie mercilessly playing with his head. Thank you for that. I remember seeing this movie as a boy… and I remember knowing how dark it was. It reveals his guilt and emphasizes the point that the original question was why he did not go to school. Unbeknownst to them, Jiminy follows him secretly. Yeah you can, everyone had to take responsibility for themselves and this is an archetype. This is very interesting. I would wager the entire circus (animal slavery) industry is high up on the scale of villainous activity. I never noticed the dark elements depicted in the film, but I’m glad you pointed them out! But your students were right about one thing. But ⦠In Disneyâs Pinocchio a coachman pays a fox to capture âstupid little boysâ. He is not just some big wealthy guy who puts kids to work in salt mines after turning them to donkeys which apparently symbolizes their stupidity. though I haven’t seen atlantis. children and even teens are so naïve and oblivious to life in general, not to mention Disney movies. It is a brutally honest scene and I have never revisited the movie since. The truth hurts, especially when it is implicit. He wishes that his puppet would come to life. But there is something notorious about the evil Coachman. I especially enjoyed reading your discussion on how the Coachman lures boys, thus representing child trafficking. Some of the movies from childhood are actually terrifying to revisit.. There’s also a 1970 animated version which is really good. But it is worthy to mention what Stromboli said after he locked Pinocchio in the cage/sack. Sure he doesn’t have to face a dragon but hey, at least Phillip was well equipped. I always wondered how I would have viewed the film as a child. Not for everyone. So, saying that they were monsters is a lie because of the connotation and the deception behind it: Pinocchio wants to suggest coercion rather than the embarrassing truth of being tricked. Screenfice covers the latest Film & TV news. I haven’t seen this since I was a kid. “I was going to school till I met somebody.”. I think that’s a very important role that is required for this movie, the world is a tough place to live sometimes but all we can do is roll with the punches and make the best of it. ‘Don’t lie’ or something along those lines, perhaps his status as a puppet, and it is a shame because there is so much more to that movie. Unfortunately, it is not big enough of a truth and he is humiliated once more. That Pinocchio is probably the darkest story ever told by the way that scene out...
