History Characters / DisneyPinocchio

* VillainousFriendship: With his BumblingSidekick Gideon, obviously. Also, both of them appear to be on friendly terms with the Coachman, and probably with Stromboli too.

* HaHaHaNo: Upon hearing Pinocchio say he's returning home to Geppetto, he begins guffawing uproariously, with Pinocchio even joining in- which cuts off immediately as Stromboli tosses him in a cage.

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Only known as "The Coachman".

* DoomedDefeatist: He's tried and failed to escape Monstro so many times, he's convinced himself [[SuicideMission it's impossible]], even in the face of his son's determination and optimism. He only sees an opportunity to escape when Pinocchio starts smashing some furniture for firewood, and even then he's skeptical at first that it'll work.

* PapaWolf: He searches everywhere for his missing son, though he ironically manages to put himself in greater harm's way and now needs rescuing himself.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: Horribly subverted. While the Coachman truthfully assured to both Honest John and Gideon that they don't need to resort to commit murder to earn some money from him, he clearly states that his business provides a FateWorseThanDeath to the disobedient boys, something which Honest John and Gideon are terrified to hear about.]]

A large, sinister, bearded Italian puppet-maker who forces Pinocchio to perform onstage to make money.

* AntiRoleModel: Lampwick is a perfect example of the kind of child the Coachman is targeting.

* DisproportionateRetribution: He may have been a bad kid, but to be turned into a voiceless animal is certainly a cruel fate for his mischief.

* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: A deleted scene has Lampwick try to escape with Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricker, only to start transforming and be caught by one of Coachman's goons. Before transforming completely, Lampwick yells for Pinocchio to escape without him as its too late for him now. This scene made it into several book adaptations.

[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lampwick_866.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Frankie Darro, Clarence Nash (donkey sounds); Jason Marsden (Pinocchio: 70th Anniversary Edition UK - Pleasure Island Carnival Games) Jean-Francois Maurin (European French dub); Milton Rangel Filho (Brazilian Portuguese dub); Håkan Westergren (1941 Swedish dub), Samuel Elers-Svensson (1995 Swedish redub)
->'''Portrayed by:''' Lewin Lloyd (live-action remake)

A naughty boy that Pinocchio befriends on his way to Pleasure Island.

* AdaptationalJerkass: He was still a slacker with his studies in the novel and a disruptive influence in class according to conversations between him and Pinocchio, but the movie greatly strengthens his more rebellious traits by having him engage in activies such as vandalism, destruction of property, playing pool, drinking, and smoking.
* AdaptationalNameChange: In the book, he was known as Lucignolo ('Candlewick'), and his real name was Romeo.
* AintTooProudToBeg: Once he realizes he's [[spoiler:turning into a donkey]], he screams for help and pleads Pinocchio to "call that beetle, call anybody". [[IWantMyMommy He cries out for his mother]] just as he loses his voice.
* AndIMustScream: Implied at the end, [[spoiler:having completely turned into a donkey and lost his ability to speak, Lampwick is last seen on-screen braying hysterically and flees from Pinocchio to presumably be sold into slavery.]]
* {{Animorphism}}: [[spoiler:Turned into a donkey.]]
* AntiRoleModel: Lampwick is a perfect example of the kind of child the Coachman is targeting.
* AntiVillain: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Of all of the villains in the story, Lampwick is the least villainous of them all, being more of a bratty {{jerkass}}, and unlike the other antagonists, he [[PetTheDog genuinely likes]] Pinocchio and isn't trying to take advantage of him for personal gain.
* BadGuysPlayPool: Despite barely being a teenager, if that, Lampwick shows remarkable skill at pool, given the numerous trick-shots he plays. Makes you wonder how often he frequented bars.
* BodyHorror: Seeing his transformed face in the mirror instantly has him running about in a panic. When his hands turn into hooves and he's forced onto all fours, he screams for his mother to save him before losing his voice entirely. Terrified, he trashes the pool hall and flees the scene.
* BratsWithSlingshots: He's practicing using one on the Coachman's coach when he first meets Pinocchio, though we never see him actually use it (it should be noted that it is a traditional symbol of unthinking destructiveness).
* TheCorrupter: To Pinocchio. Lampwick gets him to start fights, smoke, break things, and [[ArsonMurderandJaywalking play pool]].
* DelayedReaction: He grows long ears, a tail, ''and a muzzle'' and all the while is completely oblivious to his transformation. It is theorized he was simply too intoxicated to notice these curious features appearing, and it is not until he accidentally brays that he realizes something is wrong. By the time he sees his reflection, it is far too late for him to stop the change.
* DisproportionateRetribution: He may have been a bad kid, but to be turned into a voiceless animal is certainly a cruel fate for his mischief.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Implied, as he cries out for his mother when he's [[spoiler:turned into a donkey]].
* EvilCounterpart: To Pinocchio. While not exactly ''evil'', Lampwick is a {{jerkass}}, BrattyHalfPint version of the naïve, NiceGuy Pinocchio.
* EvilRedhead: Although he isn't evil; just a Jerkass and all-around mischief-maker.
* InkSuitActor: Or rather, Ink-Suit Animator; he was designed as a self-caricature of his animator, Creator/FredMoore.
* IWantMyMommy: The last thing that happens before [[spoiler:he's turned into a donkey]] is calling for his mother.
* {{Jerkass}}: Fitting for a young delinquent, he's a quite rude and obnoxious kid.
* JerkassToOne: Despite being friendly to Pinocchio, he's a complete jerk to Jiminy Cricket.
* JerkJock: In a way, as he was able to shoot a pool ball from an awkward angle and somehow was able to cause the cue ball to make a group of pool balls stack on top of each other.
* PetTheDog: For all his bratty tendencies, he does seem to genuinely like Pinocchio.
* PrecisionFStrike: After Jiminy's ScrewThisImOuttaHere moment, he delivers one peppered with AnalogyBackfire ''just as it's starting to kick in''.
-->'''Lampwick''': Hear that beetle talk, you'd think something was gonna happen to us! "Conscience"... ''phooey!'' Where's he get that stuff? "How do you ever expect to be a real boy?" What's he think ''I'' look like, a ''jackass''?\\
'''Pinocchio''': [[AnalogyBackfire You sure do!]]
* ShadowArchetype: To Pinocchio. Lampwick represents what Pinocchio could be if he didn't have a conscience.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Possibly. In the books, Lampwick dies from hunger and exhaustion after being overworked. We do not see his fate in the film.
* StreetSmart: Subverted. He ''thinks'' he's this, but he was dumb enough to fall for the Coachman's scheme and [[spoiler:loses his humanity]].
* TemptingFate: "What's he think I look like, [[spoiler:a ''[[ExactWords jackass]]'']]?"
* TooDumbToLive: Like the countless other naughty boys before him, he is easily lured by the promise of free food, alcohol, cigars, no school or parental authority, and endless fun at absolutely no charge. He doesn't even bat an eye when Pinocchio asks what happened to all of the other boys when the park has seemingly become deserted. He pays a huge price for having fallen for the Coachman's deceit, losing his humanity for his one night of reckless abandon.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: He encourages Pinocchio to behave much like the other children on Pleasure Island.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It was never shown onscreen what happened to Lampwick after [[spoiler:becoming a donkey]], who was likely caught and sold by the evil Coachman, though it is also possible he escaped the island. In an earlier draft, he joins Pinocchio and Jiminy in their attempt to escape Pleasure Island, but gets captured by the Coachman's minions before making it out.

[[folder:Monstro the Whale]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/monstro_the_whale_5.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Thurl Ravenscroft

Monstro is an enormous whale and the antagonist in the third act.
----

[[folder:The Stupid Little Boys]]
A group of naughty young boys, including Lampwick and Alexander, who went to Pleasure Island.

* MassTransformation: After going wild in Pleasure Island, the effects from the island's magic [[ForcedTransformation transformed]] them into donkeys.
* NoNameGiven: Each and every one of the boys don't have any names.

* BigBadEnsemble: With Monstro, Stromboli, and Honest John.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Far more so than Honest John and Gideon. The Coachman does seem like a NiceGuy originally. In actuality, calling this monster a {{Jerkass}} is a major understatement.

* ShesAManInJapan: In the Brazilian dub of the film, Monstro is always referred to as a female whale, being called Monstr'''a'''

[[caption-width-right:350:''"They never come back...as BOYS."'']]

* PyrrhicVictory: The over-sized brute fails to recapture the protagonists, though [[RammingAlwaysWorks the impact kills Pinocchio]]. All [[DownerEnding seems lost]], until the Blue Fairy resurrects the puppet for his HeroicSacrifice.

A group of naughty children, including Lampwick and Alexander, who went to Pleasure Island.

* ForcedTransformation: After going wild in Pleasure Island, the effects from the Coachman's magic transformed them into donkeys.

* TheDreaded: All the undersea creatures are terrified of him. [[SpeakOfTheDevil Just the mere mention of his name sends them into a panic.]] Monstro is even [[HungryMenace feared on land]] too. Jiminy's overheard tales about him, and tries to warn Pinocchio he's not dealing with a [[GentleGiant regular whale]].

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His name means "monster". The sea creatures indeed swim away really fast [[SpeakOfTheDevil just by the mention of his name]].

* CompositeCharacter: A downplayed example. In the original book when Pinocchio turned into a real boy he left his original wooden body to be a human and acknowledge who he was as a puppet. Here when he turns into a real boy he simply just becomes a boy instead of leaving his wooden form.

* BadBoss: He's pretty cruel to his henchmen. See WhipOfDominance.

* BadBoss: He's pretty cruel to his henchmen. See WhipDominance.

* BadBoss: He's pretty cruel to his henchmen. See ATasteOfTheLash.

* ATasteOfTheLash: He whips his own minions and his helpless, frightened victims.

* TheTease: Isn't above laying on the charm when necessary, like when she got up close to Jiminy, [[Eyelash batting her eyes]] and coyly smiling at him, clearly aware of the [[DudeMagnet effect]] she has on men.

* EveryoneLovesBlondes: Jimminy is definitely a fan.

* MsFanservice: The closest thing the film has to one, given that she's a strikingly beautiful blonde woman and acts a little bit [[TheTease flirtatious]] towards Jimminy.

* TheTease: Isn't above laying on the charm when necessary, like when she got up close to Jimminy, [[Eyelash batting her eyes]] and coyly smiling at him, clearly aware of the [[DudeMagnet effect]] she has on men.

* BareYourMidriff: Rare male example.
