This shift was meant to make the character more likable to audiences, thus enhancing the overall appeal of the film, itself. Walt approved, and after further development, the look of Disney's Pinocchio was finalized.Īdditionally, Pinocchio's personality was greatly reworked to portray that of a believable and innocent child. According to Kahl, the design came from the mindset that he was animating an actual little boy, rather than a puppet. Animator Milt Kahl was also dissatisfied with the version of Pinocchio and did test animation of his own that featured a design much closer to what's in the final film. Walt felt the character looked too lifeless, despite the accuracy. Walt Disney disliked this version of the character, both in terms of his personality and appearance he was initially designed to resemble an actual puppet with a geometrical shape. The filmmakers stayed true to this once production on their adaptation began, resulting in a character that was wise-cracking and brazen, a drastically different interpretation of the final product. In the original Italian book by Carlo Collodi, Pinocchio was purposely portrayed as a bit more misbehaved, and obnoxious.
