Pinocchio story arch movie#
In the movie they're just Modjafucco's lackeys and not even competent enough to perform a single scam on their own. Fox and Cat were villains in their own right in the book, to the point you could count them as Arc Villains, scamming Pinocchio multiple times and even hanging him at one point (don't worry, he survived).In the movie she's barely more than a side character who Pinocchio seeks out for his goal of becoming a real boy, but who rebuffs him. The fairy played a much larger role in the book than she does in the movie, often acting as Pinocchio's conscience and eventually becoming a mother figure to him.Creating Life Is Awesome: Both Pinocchio and Jepetto are overjoyed by Lucia the fairy bringing the former to life and it is never portrayed as a bad thing that a wooden puppet is now a (semi) living thing.Along the way he falls in love with a girl, learns that the world isn't always as wondrous as he imagined it to be and finds his true calling as a circus performer. Coming of Age Story: Pinocchio is a young boy who leaves his home to travel and find his place in the world.Cats Are Mean: Cat is a Fat Bastard whose solution to almost any problem seems to be 'shoot it' and who helps Modjafucco rob innocent people.Cat is a Trigger-Happy maniac and Fox is a Dirty Coward.
