Discretion is advised. Hello and welcome to Disney Story Origins episode 14b, Pinocchio, part two. You're here. In the last episode, Pinocchio from the original classic children's story had been given some money to take home to his poor father.

He wanted to buy his father a new coat and replace the Coacheopeto at Hawk to buy him a school

book.

He also wanted to replace the school book he had bought for the cash to see Fire Eater's

puppet show. Fire Eater ended up giving him five gold pieces. He was making some grand, generous

plans for his money when he was stopped by a fox and a cat who conned

him into going with them to try and double his money.

Pinocchio then dismissed all his good intentions, dismissed the warnings of a blackbird and the

Jedi ghost of the cricket he had killed, and ended up swinging by the neck from a tree after

the fox and cat tried to murder him for his money and left him for dead.

In the 1940 Disney Classic, against the advice of his conscience Jimmity Cricket, Pinocchio

went with Honest John and Gideon who had tricked Pinocchio into entering show business

and sold the little wooden boy to the puppeteer Stromboli.

When Pinocchio tried to run home to his father, Stromboli locked him in a cage and drove off with him in the rain.

Pinocchio called out for Jimini to help him, but the thunder and wind and rain was so strong

Jimini couldn't hear him. Now, Jiminy Cricket, he thought that Pinocchio would be

fine. His performance had been a great success, so he didn't think he needed a conscience

because what does an actor need with a conscience?

So he'd just go out of his life quietly, but he didn't want to leave things that way.

Let's get started, shall we?
