À propos de cet audio

In this episode of Disney Junkie, host Jennifer Miller explores the surprisingly grim roots of Pinocchio. While Disney’s 1940 adaptation gave us catchy songs and heartfelt lessons, the original tale by Carlo Collodi was far from child-friendly—complete with deception, murder, and a public outcry over Pinocchio’s tragic fate.


We compare Collodi’s serialized story to Disney’s reimagined version, unpacking the shift from mischievous puppet to innocent boy. Plus, we look at the film’s behind-the-scenes innovations, musical genius, and the fascinating reasons Pinocchio became Disney’s second animated feature—even though it flopped at its first release.


Join us as we navigate creepy donkeys, talking crickets, and the wild ride from twisted fairytale to beloved classic.
