I wish they'd create a sequel to this movie in which the donkeys...

I'm going to give a polite no to the idea of a sequel. One, I don't trust Disney when it comes to sequels. Two, Pinocchio is pretty much perfect as is. And three, the fate of the donkey children shows that not everyone gets a happy ending.

"If life is getting you down and needs uplifting, then please come dance with me!"

No.

"Citizen Kane" fan, "Frozen" fan, and "Boyhood" fan. ;)

Do I like your idea for a sequel? Yes. Resolving the whole mass kidnapping operation (which I can't believe Pinocchio never said a word about) would be great. It wouldn't have to just focus on the donkeys, either, since they've apparently been scattered throughout the marketplace and giving each of the hundreds of kids their own story would make the film slow to a pedestrian pace. Just follow Pinocchio like the first story. The moral? It's cheesy, but a see-something-say-something one would work.

However, do I want Disney to make a sequel? No. If Disney could do animated sequels I'd have no problem with it, but The Rescuers Down Under was a one-hit wonder in terms of sequels. Most of them are just awful. Poorly written and poorly animated, even if the actors' performances pull it off.

It also doesn't help that Pinocchio is really one of Disney's better-looking animated films, even if I'm not the biggest fan of the story. They've really changed the whole process for animation nowadays, though, and I'm not even talking about CG stuff. Basically, the entire process was streamlined starting with The Little Mermaid, ensuring that animated musicals could be churned out faster and wouldn't wallow around in production hell for years. The bad part about that means that the wonderfully hand-painted workshop in Geppetto's house couldn't be replicated in a way that does it justice. It just takes too much time to do all of that.

Absolutely not. First of all, I just don't like that idea...it sounds promising but looks very hard to execute. Second, most Disney sequels are released straight to video (like Cinderella's). The company does not have the best track record on producing quality sequels (The only one which I can provide enormous credit for them, animation wise, is Toy Story 3. However, that was under Pixar's auspices despite Disney owning the company)

Pinocchio is literally a perfect movie: absolutely flawless...from the animation, acting, storyline pacing, powerful message it sent, etc. Just leave it be

However, I would not object to Disney doing a live adaptation of it so long as they get the same crew from the recent "Cinderella" interpretation.


When God made Tom Cruise, he was only joking.

Well, I for one am looking forward to the R rated sequel 'Pinocchio 2: Taken' starring Liam Neeson

They still have a consciousness.

What good would it do to reunite with their families? Their parents will be like "why is this donkey after me, someone take it away", and that would make the kids feel even worst being rejected by their families.

This is gonna sound cruel, but the Coachman did society a favor.

If those kids' parents cared about them so much, their wouldn't give their kids so much freedom that they'd wander off with random strangers. Thus because of their terrible parents, those kids were never going to improve.

Better they live out their lives being enslaved as donkeys than grow up and cause criminal-problems for society.

Yeah, pretty much. Those kids would have had a terrible ending ether way, the difference is as donkeys they can't drag down other people with them; like what Lampwick was doing to Pinocchio, him turning into a donkey stopped his ability to continue corrupting Pinocchio.

Pinocchio as an adult could be played by Roland Kickinger and he'd be unaffected by the effects of pleasure island. He rescues the donkeys but first he approaches them and tells them, "come with me if you want to live". He then carries them out to his boat them transports them to the mainland.

Then Mr. Spock mind-melds with the donkeys to find out who they are and where their parents are.
