* ScienceImitatesArt: Species with long, horn- or nose-like projects have on occasion been named after the puppet himself. These include beetle ''Walckenaeria pinocchio'', with a long single horn; the orchid ''Masdevallia pinocchio'', whose flowers produce long, slender "spikes" from the top petal; the crab ''Oxypleurodon pinocchio'', with a long upturned rostrum; and several others.

* ExecutiveMeddling: SFX guru Creator/CarloRambaldi (the man behind the effects of ''Film/KingKong1976'', ''Film/{{Alien}}'', ''[[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial E.T.]]'', ''Film/Dune1984'' and others) was asked to make self-funded tests for a Pinocchio animatronic to be used in the show. He demanded a higher payment than what they planned, thus the studio resolved by sending an engineer to take photos of his blueprints and mechanisms and build their own puppet by copying Rambaldi's without him knowing until the show was finished. The result was a [[EpicFail barely functioning puppet]] which forced Luigi Comencini to resort to the constant puppet/real boy transitions, and a successful lawsuit from Rambaldi.

* ReclusiveArtist:
** Pinocchio's actor Andrea Balestri didn't pursue much of a movie career after the miniseries. After a few other roles he dropped acting and tried several professions before starting a stage career in his home town, which he continues to this day. He still gives interviews and participates in documentaries about his portrayal of Pinocchio though.
** Lampwick's actor Domenico Santoro appeared in four movies as a child (including ''Pinocchio'') before retiring to private life. He never made a public appearance ever since.

* HostilityOnTheSet: Pinocchio's actor Andrea Balestri has claimed that he didn't get along with Creator/GinaLollobrigida. Allegedly it escalated when one day he got yelled at by her for coming late on set, causing him to refuse taking promotional photos together and breaking out into an argument in which [[WouldHurtAChild she threatened to slap him]], and bickered with his parents when they stood up for him. Balestri claims that Gina doesn't want to talk to him in cast reunions because she still hasn't gotten over it.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Carlo Rambaldi has stated that he built three Pinocchio animatronics: one that could walk, a half body that had articulated head, mouth and hand movements and a model that was able to pick up and throw a hammer. Had the studio respected his demands instead of screwing him over, as described in the aforementioned ExecutiveMeddling, the miniseries might've been less dependent on ObscuredSpecialEffects.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Originally, the series ended with Pinocchio [[spoiler: being hung from a tree by the Cat and the Fox for being such a bad boy.]] The story was continued when people kept writing in, asking what happened next. [[ExecutiveMeddling The editor demanded additional chapters]] and Collodi [[FranchiseZombie wrote 20 more.]]
