The darkest Disney project

Pinocchio 1940

WARNING: spoilers (but you should have already guessed that)

anything else: 1 point or more

Deaths: 5 points or more

MASS deaths: 10 points or more

Dark/sad characters: 3 points or more

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+1 cuckoo clocks depict child abuse and killing animals

+3 Stromboli locks up Pinocchio in a little cage

+4 Stromboli then threatens to turn Pinocchio into firewood

+3 Pinocchio then gets kidnapped by Stromboli

+2 honest John is prepared to commit murder when the the coachman asks if he wants to make “real money”

+2 “I’m collecting stupid little boys” said like a total creep courtesy of the coachman

+3 gepetto looks for his missing child

+2 the coachman’s cart appears to be pulled by donkeys; this detail is only dark if you know what happens next

+21 a bunch of children get turned into donkeys and sold as slaves

+22 in a moment of pure body horror lampwick gets transformed into donkey

+10 we don’t know what happens to the talking donkeys, and I don’t think we wanna know

+12 coachman gets away with turning kids into donkeys

+3 gepetto gets eaten by a whale

+4 gepetto just accepts starving 2 death

+3 monstro smashes his head into side of rock, even if that didn’t kill him it probably injured him and must’ve hurt like hell

🐦‍🔥💀+6 Pinocchio drowns to death (not for long)

+13 dark character: the coachman, dude likes to bait little boys onto his island so he can turn them into donkeys and sell them as slaves, absolutely disgusting human being

I don’t know what’s worse what the coachman actually does or what you THINK someone would be doing when they say that they like to collect “stupid little boys” and take them to a place called “pleasure island”

+3 pleasure island, the whole location gives me the creeps; either the island is the one committing acts of body horror on kids, or it’s getting used by some sicko so that he can use his evil demon powers to strip kids of their humanity…either way this island is worst than Epstein’s

Score: 117

Trivia time: Gideon was originally gonna have a lot of dialogue and be voiced by the legendary Mel Blanc but after the success of dopey from Snow White and the 7 dwarves they decided to make him mute

The Adventures of Mr. Hurty Fingy And His Trusty Pal Shaven Dawg Through The 9 Layers of Hell

[this-is-where-i-hide-my-bullshit]

Every now and then I'm reminded of this animated short that was featured on the Ice Age dvd we had when I was a kid. It was animated by Blue Sky, and it's called Bunny.

Watching it made me feel a bit disturbed and sad, but the ending always felt bitter sweet.

Warning, there is death in this, so if that's not something you can handle then I wouldn't recommend watching. But if you can handle it, then I'd recommend giving the short a watch.

It's an interesting and somewhat dark piece of children's media that I've never seen people talk about before, and I think it deserves to be remembered and discussed. The musical score is also worth mentioning.

This is definitely one of the first pieces of media to give me an existential crisis as a child, it's up there with Fleetwood Mac's Landslide on the list of things that made me confront my own mortality in elementary school.

There are is no spoken dialog in this short, and yet it helped me understand death in a way that words never did at an age before I lost anyone or anything.

Ive only seen one episode of venture brothers and i was about 4 hours into a half strip of good L and measured my k wrong so the line immobilized me for like a half hour bc ya girl does slugs and IDK what venture brothers is usually about it was before my time but this was about a mad scientist who built his underground utopia and then got into a divorce with his robot wife who pulled a poison gas attack on civilians in a subway including children who died choking and crying on screen and somebody scratches at a wall in desperation until supposedly their fingernails rip off because they start bleeding from the finger tips and being conservative since everything is longer on k im going to say realistically it was 2-4 minutes of this horrific gas attack on civilian public transport scene and nobody else was watching so I decided for the rest of the trip it was my gross to bear but that was the first and last segment of Venture Brothers that I have ever viewed and it was one of the most unpleasant viewing experiences of my life like on par with Happy Tree Friends and 4chan odd-hour zoosadist dumps on /b/ and i could not tell you anything else about the cartoon with a gun to my head or name a character or theme or series premise or episode storyline but I do know that I was watching adult swim and was suddenly subjected to Men Behind the Sun when I was too deep in the hole to turn my neck or even eyes so i wasn't facing the screen and Ive never overdosed on k or sold ass for it or stolen for it but I have watched what might be the most fucked up 3 minute segment in adult swim history and then walked around for like 2 years wondering if id hallucinated it (which was also my experience with the power puff girls episode "twisted sister" and the courage the cowardly dog episode with the space squid but like the venture brothers chemical attack on civilians scene cartoon network did indeed air it just with childhood onset psychosis not k). Like people talk about moral orel being the darkest adult swim cartoon but there was nothing CLOSE to that horrific in Morel Orel it was mainly just about the failure of relationships and the facade and decay of love regardless of the strength of the drip we think we have on it venture brothers killed children on a public train in a mass subway gas attack on screen for long enough to take a piss and come back and it still be going on

I’ve been wondering about this all my life

Is The coachman turning them into donkeys or is he exploiting the island’s ability to turn them into donkeys

Part of me is actually leaning towards island but another part of me thinks that it’s the coachman

I did this post twice cause I wanted to add another option
