Distory with Kate & Kirk · Oct 22, 2022 · 54m

We like to think of Pinocchio as a happy, easily-persuaded little puppet who just couldn't help but lie and get into trouble even though he was accompanied by Jiminy, his faithful conscience. But that's not who they originally were (not even close!). In this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk, we discover where Disney found the story of Pinocchio, how they altered the story and the characters to suit their purposes, why the film was a box-office failure, and how Gustaf Tenggren contributed to the development of both the film and the Disney Parks attraction.
