**** Actually, the book by Carlo Collodi explicitly states they just hang onto the talking ones until the transformation is complete and they lose human speech. Of course, since [[spoiler: Lampwick gets worked to death and Pinocchio is sold to make a donkey-skin drum]], it's not like the book lacks its own supply of Nightmare Fuel...

* The entirety of the scene where the donkeys are being sorted at Pleasure Island. The shadowy, featureless henchmen. The little children, transformed into voiceless beasts of burden, sent off to a life of being abused and worked to death in the coal mines. The ones who can still talk in the holding pen, crying and begging to be returned to their families. Pinocchio was likely the only boy who ever escaped.

*** While that is how it was in the novel (but then, EVERYTHING talked in the novel), I don't think that would be very smart. That puts the talking donkeys in a position to warn the other little boys. I always invisioned something much more... [[ImAHumanitarian gruesome]].

*** What makes it worse is that [[spoiler: Lampwick]] is not aware of it, while Pinnochio is slowly becoming unnerved by the scene, (initially believing it to be caused by heavy drinking or smoking), but once [[spoiler: Lampwick]] realizes what's going on, he utterly breaks down and begs Pinnochio to help him before eventually being reduced into a braying, wild ass. Pinnochio leaves in horror before suffering the same fate. No other adaptation has ever tried to bring this element to the transformation as it is far too disturbing.

* The entire movie in general is perhaps Disney's scariest picture, especially since none of the villains are ever punished for their crimes. Thus leaving children with the horrifying realisation that not all evil can be beaten and that the world will always remain a dangerous place for them...
* [[http://blog.bearstrong.net/max256/uploaded_images/Pinocchio-and-Stromboli---Disney-1940-734923.jpg Stromboli]] was particularly frightening as well.
** Stromboli telling Pinocchio when he's worn-out he'll make good firewood...and then throwing an axe at a (fortunately lifeless) puppet.

** There's also this particular FridgeHorror aspect: If you look at the coach taking the children to Pleasure Island, it appears to be pulled by donkeys. Thus, little boys are kidnapped and changed into donkeys, losing everything they ever loved in life and on top of that, some are forced to pull the coach of the man who changed them in the first place and carry other children so that they can share the same monstrous fate as themselves.

* Monstro, that enormous whale. Getting chased and devoured by something at LEAST 500 feet long is horrifying. Plus, he has at least two of those intense chase scenes!

** This actually happened in the book. He slept too close to a fire and woke up to find his feet burned away. Geppetto makes him some new ones, and it doesn't seem to do him any harm.
