1. Cleo The Goldfish Coloring PDF
Disney films have a way of making even the most innocuous characters memorable. Cleo the goldfish is a character with no dialogue who nevertheless managed to win legions of fans.
After making Snow White and finding great success, Disney actually intended to make Bambi next.
However, it ended up being a difficult challenge in terms of animation, so they decided to focus on Pinocchio instead.
2. Coachman Leading Children
3. Figaro With Gepetto And Pinocchio
This scene of Figaro the cat with Geppetto and Pinocchio is so cute!
Figaro the cat is another character who doesn’t have any dialogue but has managed to win many hearts.
He proved to be a hit with audiences and appeared in other Disney productions over the years.
In fact, it’s been said that Figaro was Walt Disney’s personal favorite character in the movie.
4. Geppetto Carving Pinocchio
5. Geppetto Dancing With Pinocchio
At the heart of the Pinocchio film is the relationship between Geppetto and Pinocchio, and it’s a story that warms hearts many decades later.
Despite the magic of the film, the filmmakers ran into many difficulties when adapting the movie. Unlike Snow White, a tale that let them add a lot to the story, this movie was based on a book.
So, they had to find a good balance between honoring the original book and adding elements that would be more appealing to audiences.
6. Honest John And Gideon Tricking Pinocchio
7. Jiminy Cricket With His Umbrella
It’s almost impossible not to become a fan of Jiminy Cricket after watching Pinocchio! This little character may be small, but he has charisma to spare.
In the original Pinocchio book, Jiminy played a different role. In fact, Pinocchio slams him with a mallet!
However, the filmmakers were worried their version of the Pinocchio character was too naive and got taken advantage of.
Therefore, Jiminy’s role was increased so that Pinocchio could be guided by someone with more street smarts.
8. Jiminy Cricket Receiving His Medal
Jiminy Cricket is a brave character who becomes a loyal friend to Pinocchio. So, he definitely deserves his medal!
The animators working on the movie deserved a medal as well. Jiminy was a particularly tricky character to animate, and they originally had him looking more insect-like.
Walt Disney thought this impacted his likability, though, so they worked to make him more cartoony and appealing.
9. Monstro Rising From The Ocean
10. Pinocchio And Geppetto Inside Monstro
The section of the film where Geppetto and Pinocchio are inside the belly of Monstro is a low point for the characters, but they are able to escape in the end!
The character of Pinocchio went through some changes from his book counterpart. In the book, he was a more unpleasant character who learned life lessons through his mistakes.
The writers worked to make him a character who is pleasant but perhaps a bit naive.
11. Pinocchio And Lampwick
12. Pinocchio And The Blue Fairy
13. Pinocchio With His Growing Nose

15. Pinocchio Inside Stromboli’s Wagon Coloring Sheet

Pinocchio not only underwent writing changes but also many animation changes. He was originally designed to look even more puppet-like, but Disney thought it would make him unrelatable.
His features were smoothed considerably, with only his limbs showing his puppet origins.
16. Pinocchio Running Away From School
17. Pinocchio On A Wooden Chair
Geppetto is a master carpenter, and here we can see Pinocchio seated on one of his lovely wooden chairs.
Another way the Pinocchio film broke new ground was that Walt Disney was able to hire celebrities of the time to be voice actors for the movie.
The success of Snow White made this possible, as before that film, animated movies would usually cast fairly unknown voice actors.
18. Pinocchio Talking To Jiminy Cricket
19. Pinocchio Turning Into A Real Boy
20. Pinocchio Walking Through The Village
21. Pinocchio With A Growing Nose After Telling A Lie
22. Pinocchio With A Schoolbook And Apple

They wanted to convey that hard work and determination can get you out of many troubles.
24. Stromboli Locks Pinocchio In A Cage
