Corrected entry: When Jiminy gets his badge at the end of the movie, it simply looks like a star with no writing on it. Once they do a close up on the badge, the badge itself is more detailed and in the circle it says 'Official Conscience 18 kt'.

Correction: Everything ever animated has more detail when "the camera" is closer. Even in life, one sees more detail when they move closer to the object they are examining. It may as well be pointed out that the hairs in Gepetto's mustache are not individually animated.

Phixius ★

Corrected entry: When Pinocchio is made a real boy at the end of the film, he sits up on the bed, and asks his father why he is crying, to which his father replies that it is because he is dead. Wouldn't Gepetto realise that the fact that Pinocchio is speaking to him indicates that he is not dead anymore?

Correction: Grief can make people do stupid things. Even without grief, people do stupid things.

Questions

Question: When Pinocchio finds Geppetto inside Monstro's stomach, Geppetto has shoes and socks on. But when Pinocchio and Geppetto are escaping on the raft, he is barefoot. Where did his shoes and socks go?

Answer: It's not explained. This appears to be a plot hole or whatever happened somehow got edited out.
