History WMG / Pinocchio

** Whoa. That right there? *FridgeBrilliance. Particularly if you consider that the residual magic somehow "knew" to transition from pigs to donkeys, in order to show the boys they were being literal...ya know.

Imagine if he said, "Either my nose will grow or dinosaurs come back to life."

[[WMG: The Coachman is actually a demon who is turning boys into donkeys just to be a dick]]

[[WMG: Donkey from Shrek is one of the kids from Pleasure Island who could still talk]]

[[WMG: The Coachman is [[IMMeen]]'s father]]

He lost his tail in an escape attempt. The trauma from that whole experience explains why Eeyore is depressed. The rest of the gang of the 100 acre wood doesn't know about Eeyore's depressing back story, except maybe Owl, who used it as blackmail material to steal Piglet's house.

* [[Tropers/TheMightyHeptagon This troper]] always liked to think so as a kid. Not necessarily because I think it's likely, but because the image of the boys turning into donkeys and being shipped off to the salt mines was literally '''''[[HighOctaneNightmareFuel keeping me from sleeping]]'''''.

If Pinocchio himself appears in the movies, than an appearance of a P.I. donkey can be canon too.

[[WMG: Pleasure Island is really of the Isle of Aeanea--the island where Circe turned Odysseus' crew into pigs]]

This applies to both the original novel and the Disney film. In Literature/TheOdyssey, Circe lived on Aeanea, a mythical island that was supposedly off the west coast of Italy. By the time of Pinocchio, Circe was long gone but enough residual free-standing magic existed for the boys turn to into donkeys if they stayed there long enough.

E.g. a day on P.I. is, say, a month outside the island, which would explain why Geppetto's house/workshop looked like it had been abandoned for weeks although Pinocchio was seemingly only gone for a day or two. This would also explain the line "Not a bite for days..."

This came from a page on TVTropes that states that some of the people he hired would expect to be paid. He's actually ''losing money'' rather than gaining. How's that for LaserGuidedKarma?

And they go and rescue the donkeys. They also tell other townspeople, and everyone invades the island to save the donkeys. It just takes place after the Disney film. Not that there should be a sequel of course.

[[WMG:Pinocchio is a bad liar because he's a golem.]]

Pinocchio meets the definition of a wood {{golem}}. Some golems are branded with a word for "truth", such as Hebrew אמת (''emet''). So deviating from the truth causes him great pain and stress, which sets off his PinocchioNose.


[[WMG:Figaro is a FunnyAnimal as an adult cat like Gideon is.]]

Figaro is a NearlyNormalAnimal as a kitten. He is Geppetto's cat in Pinocchio and [[ClassicDisneyShorts Minnie Mouse's]] cat in his other appearances, but sleeps in a bed like a person would and walks on two legs sometimes, so there are a few CivilizedAnimal qualities in him. When he becomes an adult cat, he becomes a FunnyAnimal similar to the manner that Gideon is.

[[WMG:Monstro is a Leviathan melvilli.]]
Leviathan melvilli is a prehistoric whale. Monstro can't be a Sperm Whale because they only have teeth on the bottom jaw. The prehistric whale had teeth on the top and bottom jaws like Monstro.

Figaro is an IntellectualAnimal as a kitten. He is Geppetto's cat in Pinocchio and [[ClassicDisneyShorts Minnie Mouse's]] cat in his other appearances, but sleeps in a bed like a person would and walks on two legs sometimes, so there are a few CivilizedAnimal qualities in him. When he becomes an adult cat, he becomes a FunnyAnimal similar to the manner that Gideon is.
