I'm reading through Carlo Collodi The Adventures of Pinocchio, and I think my biggest shock was that GEPPETO DIDN'T WANT TO BE A FATHER TO BEGIN WITH
I know, I know, there's a day and a night of difference between the Disney film and the original book, but Geppeto wanting to be a father and that being a motivation for why he built Pinocchio was a consistent motif even in non-Disney inspired works.
So imagine my shock realizing Geppeto just wanted a puppet so he could earn a few coins as a puppeteer and street artist. But then the puppet starts calling him "dad" and gets himself involved in so many troubles that Geppeto is arrested.
Geppeto is the first old man forced to be a single mother
@ariel-seagull-wings you told me you wanted to be a puppeteer one day. Be careful with that 😂
