Line 33:
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Jiminy Cricket, who was a nameless cricket in the book who gets squashed.
** Jiminy went on to become a recurring character in the [[Disney Animated Canon]] (appearing again in ''[[Fun and Fancy Free (Disney)|Fun and Fancy Free]]'') and his theme music became the [[Bootstrapped Theme|theme for Disney]] in general.
** And is now played in [[Once Upon a Time (TV)|Once Upon a Time]] by the [[Hey, It's That Voice!|same actor]] who was [[Knights of the Old Republic|Revan]] and [[Mass Effect|Shepherd's]] "voice of conscience."
* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: Pinocchio comes up with the idea of building a big fire on the boat to get Monstro to sneeze.
* [[Bad Guys Play Pool]]: One of the vices on Pleasure Island.
Line 49:
* [[Book Ends]]: The movie both starts and ends with [[Dance Party Ending|Pinocchio and Geppetto dancing]], although the first time Pinocchio's still an inanimate puppet, and the last time he's a real boy. Jiminy Cricket even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] it by saying, "Hey, this is about where I came in!"
* [[Bootstrapped Theme]]: "When You Wish Upon a Star" for Disney in general.
** Outside of Disney, the song so influenced [[Steven Spielberg]] when he was writing ''[[Close Encounters of the Third Kind]]'' that it got a musical [[Shout -Out]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSm3x56YBRs&t=25m0s in the film].
* [[Breakout Character]]: Jiminy Cricket. He has become a representative of Disney second only to Mickey himself. To a far lesser extent, [[Figaro]] the cat reappeared in some Disney shorts, usually as a pet of Minnie's or a foil to Pluto.
* [[Bumbling Sidekick]]: Gideon to "Honest" John.
Line 83:
* [[Extremely Short Timespan]]: It doesn't feel it, given the sprawling story it was adapted from, but the movie is strongly implied to take place within less than two days.
** While Geppetto's first seen fishing inside Monstro, however, he says he hasn't had a bite in days.
** That could be an [[Adaptation -Induced Plothole]], as the pacing suggests that Pinocchio turns into a donkey later the same night he arrives on Pleasure Island (e.g. Jiminy Cricket comments on how quiet it's suddenly gotten).
* [[Fat Bastard]]: Stromboli and the Coachman.
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: "Honest John" and Stromboli.
Line 116:
* [[Leitmotif]]: Jiminy gets his own theme that pops up quite a bit during the film.
* [[Licensed Game]]: Was adapted in 1996 into a fairly generic platformer for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]], [[Game Boy]], and [[Sega Genesis]]. And you actually get to kill [[Karma Houdini|the Coachman!]]
* [[Lions and Tigers And Humans, Oh My!]]
* [[Little Bit Beastly]]: He looks like a puppet version of a [[Kemonomimi]] when he gains donkey ears and a donkey tail while visiting Pleasure Island. He loses the donkey ears and donkey tail when he turns into a real boy.
* [[Make a Wish]]: When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are...
Line 131:
* [[Non Standard Character Design]]: The Blue Fairy is the only realistically drawn character in the entire movie compared to the more cartoony looking humans in the film. In comparison she looks rather other-worldly.
** This was intentional - while all the other characters are traditionally animated (drawn right on the cels), the Blue Fairy is rotoscoped (a live actor is filmed, and then the animator traces them from one cel to the next). This produces a slight [[Uncanny Valley]] effect compared to the other characters.
* [[Not Now, WereWe're Too Busy Crying Over You!]]/[[Not Quite Dead]]:
{{quote| '''{{spoiler|Pinocchio}}:''' {{spoiler|Father, whatcha crying for?}}<br />
'''{{spoiler|Geppetto}}:''' {{spoiler|Because... you're dead, Pinocchio.}}<br />
Line 147:
* [[Second Face Smoke]]: Done by Lampwick to Jiminy Cricket.
* [[Serendipitous Symphony]]: The cuckoo clocks and the music boxes.
* [[Setting -Off Song]]: "An Actor's Life For Me."
* [[Sidekick Song]]: "Give a Little Whistle".
* [[Significant Monogram]]: Jiminy Cricket.
Line 157:
* [[The Speechless]]: Gideon.
* [[Supernatural Aid]]: The Blue Fairy.
* [[Super -Persistent Predator]]: Monstro.
* [[Take That]]: "What does an actor want with a conscience anyway?"
* [[That Russian Squat Dance]]: Done by Russian puppets.
