What Could Have Been: Foulfellow and Gideon were supposed to meet Pinocchio a third time, and be caught by the police. Cutting this effectively made them Karma Houdinis.
There was also to be a Dream Sequence where Gepetto would tell Pinocchio a bedtime story about his grandfather, a mighty pine tree.
Originally the donkey Lampwick was supposed to join Pinocchio and Jiminy in their escape from Pleasure Island but he is captured by the Coachman's minions, as he is being carried away he says "Go on without me, it's no use I'm a goner", some storybook adaptations keep the scene.
The movie was originally going to take place around Christmastime, which meant that it would also be snowing. Walt Disney nixed the idea because he wanted the movie to be enjoyed year-round.
