Pinocchio Trivia

1. Tragically, Geppetto's son Carlo dies in 1916. What causes his death?

From Quiz Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022)

Answer: A bomb dropped by a warplane

Carlo is described as being 10 years old when he died after a bomb dropped from a warplane exploded on impact with the church that he was in. His father, Geppetto, was just outside the church and was not injured physically but the death of his son was devastating. The narrator, Sebastian J. Cricket, explains that the plane wasn't even dropping the bomb to target the church but rather to lighten the ballast.

From Quiz "Pinocchio": He's a Real Boy!

Answer: New clothes

When we first see Jiminy, he wears old clothes, tattered and torn from the top of his tall hat to the tips of his toes sticking out from his battered shoes. The Blue Fairy must have thought his attire unsuitable for his important job and endows him with beautiful new clothes. From the very start of the film, Jiminy is given the duty by the Blue Fairy to accompany Pinocchio as he strives to become a real boy. Sometimes, Jiminy finds it very hard to keep up with Pinocchio, as he's quite an active puppet. Pinocchio's troubles begin when Jiminy fails to wake up and accompany the live puppet to school.

Answer: Carlo Collodi

Walt Disney got his idea from the 1883 story by Collodi, when it was serialized in a magazine. He thought it would make a great picture to follow his "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", and rightly so, it seems. The character, Pinocchio, has appeared in many stories and media through the last centuries. As often happens, the Disney film strays far from the original book.

From Quiz "Pinocchio": He's a Real Boy!

Answer: whale, Monstro

We must ask, what DID happen to Monstro? No one knows for sure, but I would guess that he swam away, looking for a better meal and peacefully pursuing his whale's life. (Although we last see Monstro when he crashes into some rocks while trying to kill our heroes). In the movie, the trio plus Pinocchio and Jiminy are sneezed out of the whale after setting a fire in his stomach.

Answer: Donkeys

Today, some critics fear that this part of the movie is politically incorrect. Perhaps, if the movie was made today, this scene would not occur. Others wonder what the flap is about - it's just a movie. What do you think? The change of form takes place when the boys are taken to "Pleasure Island" where at first they have fun by being naughty and doing such things as smoking cigars. They soon wish the fun hadn't ended in such a horrible way.

From Quiz Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022)

Answer: Count Volpe

Count Volpe shares characteristics of both the Mangiafuoco (puppet master) and the Fox from the original 1883 novel "The Adventures of Pinocchio" by Carlo Collodi. Similar to the character Stromboli from prior film adaptations of "Pinocchio", Count Volpe is only concerned about making money and not the welfare of those in his show. He impels Pinocchio to sign a contract to work for him and then lies about distributing half of the profits to Geppetto. Count Volpe is voiced by the multi-Academy Award winning actor Christoph Waltz.

From Quiz "Pinocchio": He's a Real Boy!

Answer: In a room with a large volume of the book "Pinocchio".

People have often wished on stars, through the ages. Gepetto's cat does have a snuggly bed, but alas, there is no dog named Moonbeam.
