![]() ![]() "They wanted to rob me of my gold pieces." "Assassins! Oh, poor Pinocchio! And what did they want?" But do you know that the other night, when you left me alone at the inn, I met with assassins on the road?" "It is a long story," answered the puppet, "which I will tell you when I have time. "How come you to be here?" repeated the Cat. "Why, here is our dear Pinocchio!" cried the Fox, kissing and embracing him. Can you guess who they were? His two traveling companions, the Fox and the Cat, with whom he had supped at the inn of The Red Craw-Fish. In fact, two persons came out on to the road. But when he had reached a certain spot, almost in front of the Big Oak, he stopped, because he thought he heard people amongst the bushes. Pinocchio set out, and as soon as he was in the wood he began to run like a kid. Take the road through the wood and I am sure that you will meet him." "Go, then, but be careful not to lose yourself. I am so anxious to give a kiss to that poor old man, who has suffered so much on my account, that I am counting the minutes." "Then, little Fairy, if you consent, I should like to go and meet him. "Really?" shouted Pinocchio, jumping for joy. I have already let your father know, and he will be here tonight." "I would remain willingly if it were not for my poor papa." "I love you also," answered the Fairy "and if you will remain with me you shall be my little brother and I will be your good little sister." "What a good Fairy you are," said the puppet, drying his eyes, "and how much I love you!" They immediately perched on Pinocchio's nose and began to peck at it with such zeal that in a few minutes his enormous and ridiculous nose was reduced to its usual dimensions. She therefore beat her hands together and at that signal a thousand large birds called Woodpeckers flew in at the window. But when she saw him quite disfigured and his eyes swollen out of his head from weeping, she felt full of compassion for him. This she did to give him a severe lesson, and to correct him of the disgraceful fault of telling lies-the most disgraceful fault that a boy can have. The Fairy allowed the puppet to cry for a good half-hour over his nose, which could no longer pass through the door of the room.

Gideon is to Figaro as Goofy is to Pluto in the sense that he is a cat which looks, acts and dresses human and stars alongside a cat who is a cat. The other cat in this film is Gideon, the mute and somewhat dim sidekick of Honest John (voiced by Walter Catlett). It has been stated that Figaro was one of Walt Disney’s favorite characters. This is important because it is then that Geppetto sees the wishing star and wishes for Pinocchio to become a real boy.įigaro is also prominent in the scene in which Pinocchio comes to life.įigaro and Cleo were also featured in the penultimate scenes which took place inside the belly of Monstro the whale.įigaro was so popular in this film that he earned several short films of his own, sometimes co-starring with Disney superstars Pluto and Minnie Mouse. When Geppetto points out that he forgot to open the window, Figaro grumpily climbs out of bed to open it. When the toymaker retires for the night Figaro also turns in, climbing into his own little bed made by the wood carver. In the earliest scenes of the movie Figaro plays a notable role, especially while Geppetto is finishing the final touches on Pinocchio. This is especially evident in the scenes in which he has to interact with Cleo.
