When I was five I saw Pinocchio, which is a strange but wonderful story. The beginning was fascinating: I wanted to be Gepetto, the toy maker. So, now, in a way, I am.

I'm not sure how old I was when I firt saw Pinocchio, but I do recall the Pleasure Island scene scaring the crap out of me.
Fascinating how dark a lot of the old Disney films really are huh? But then they are based on old tales told to children with a purpose of keeping them in line and therefore many were dark...
Anyways, I really like the image of you as Gepetto.
You folks are right--it is a strange story, and early Disney films hint at some stuff.
It saddens me that everyting aimed at kids has to be so dumbed down, now. "Oh, don't scare the children!" Best not challenge them, either ... Ugh
