Christmas in Cartoontown/WMG
Pinocchio can feel the earth's geomagnetic field.
In The Adventures of Pinocchio, Pinocchio's nose gets longer when he is under stress. It's a generic tell for different kinds of stress, not only lying. This focus on Pinocchio's lie tic implies that Pinocchio must be confident in the direction. So one of two things must be true:
- In real life, geomagnetism affects plant growth. Being a wood golem, Pinocchio has plant sense. This would end after he takes human form.
- Alternate hypothesis: A wearable compass like the North Paw compass exists in the animated fairy tale universe. It measures Earth's geomagnetic field and vibrates part of a band worn around the user's ankle. This ends up training the brain to figure out where north points, and the effect would persist after he takes human form.
