When researching Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs various spin-offs, I found a bizarre short cartoon called Seven Wise Dwarfs which promoted an aspect of the Canadian war effort during the 秒 World War.


Looking into Pinocchio, I found another spin-off I had no knowledge of - a series of short cartoon's featuring Figaro the cat. I find it odd that 迪士尼 decided to take the character of Figaro out of the film and place him in his own series of shorts; particularly as he is suddenly living in 'modern' times and is the pet of Minnie Mouse! But apparently, Figaro was extremely 流行的 with audiences...

Pinocchio's Daring Adventure, 或者 as it is known in Disneyland Paris, Les Voyages de Pinocchio, has guests enter a ornate, wooden entrance modelled on the buildings seen in the film. After the usual twisty, turny queue, riders climb into carts not dissimilar to those on the Snow White dark ride. These ones are decorated with 图片 of Figaro and Cleo.


The riders first enter doors with the legend: Stromboli; Theatre de Marionettes. On the other side we find Pinocchio on stage dancing with two other marionettes. The bright, cheerful theatre is very quickly replaced 由 a dark, forbidding corridor...

Pinocchio also appears in two other attractions at 迪士尼 parks.

Firstly the film has a large presence in Disneyland California's Storybook Land Canal Boats. The beginning of the ride sees boats pass through the mouth of Monstro the 鲸, 鲸鱼 (possibly why this isn't a feature of the dark ride) and then on to see various miniature scenes of 迪士尼 films, one of which is Geppetto's village.

I will review Storybook Land Canal Boats - and its Disneyland Paris equivalent - in 更多 detail in the future as it is a ride themed around a number of different films rather than being Pinocchio-centric.

I do like...

Disneyland Paris has it's own version of this Pinocchio-themed restaurant called Au 小屋, 木屋, 小木屋 de la Marionette. The frontage of this restaurant is less elaborate and less expansive than Florida. The carvings and 墙 paintings are near identical.

In the youtobe walkthroughs I watched for researching this attraction I noticed a few 更多 details in the Paris version. There is a lovely statuette of Pinocchio up on a 墙 holding a mug and a slice of cake. Behind him is a mural of various 水果 and vegetables tumbling from a corncucopia, with Honest John and Gideon hanging at the opposite side reaching...
