Remember the time when our mothers used to say, “If you lie, your nose will grow like Pinocchio”? Yup! The boy with joints made up of wood rather than muscles?
Whose nose was a bit weird and long? Yes, you guessed it right. We are talking about none other than our other favorite, cute little boy Pinocchio.
Well, most of us remember this boy as our cute childhood cartoon, making our little days full of awe and laughter. Little Pinocchio also got a computerized makeover in the 2022 hit movie, “Pinocchio.” But the question is? Was there a whale in Pinocchio? Let’s find out.
Yes, there is a whale named Monstro, and Pinocchio, along with Geppetto, are shown fighting with it. But there were a few changes, for instance, a few enlarged tentacles that made it more like a beast than a whale.
Looking Back into the Movie for More Investigation
Apparently, “Pinocchio” is a 1940 classic movie that was remade in 2022 by Disney and had few differences throughout the story. But it remained true to the original story, which is quite unusual in the remakes.
Pinocchio is a puppet who is voiced by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth in the movie. It was designed by his woodworker father, Geppetto. The role of Geppetto is played by Tom Hanks, portraying a wonderful job as a father.
Pinocchio gains his conscience, which is a cricket with the name Jiminy Cricket. But the question is how does Pinocchio gain his conscience? Well, the blue fairy, played by Cynthia Erivo, does some magic to bring life into the wooden-crafted boy.
After gaining this magical conscience, Pinocchio excitedly showed it to his shockingly surprised woodworker father. After all, he made it in striking similarity to his dead son, and it’s talking now. Now, from this portion, you can see the movie getting a touch of modern reality.
So, Pinocchio gets connected with a few circus creatures who are willing to turn him into an influencer. Yeah, like a TikTok and Instagram one. In this journey, various new characters are introduced in the movie, and Sabina, the ballerina puppet, is the prominent one.
Now, here is the biggest twist, but the whale seemed to be the same yet. Evidently, towards the end, Geppetto and Pinocchio are now reunited and trying to escape from the circus. Meanwhile, they encounter the anticipated villain of the sea, the whale, aka “Monstro.”
But, the twist is yet to come. In the original movie, it’s Pinocchio who arrives lifeless at home, and the blue fairy relieves it again. But in the new remake, Geppetto was the lifeless one, and Pinocchio’s tears became the magical medicine for his father. Yeah! No blue fairy’s spell and that’s how it ends in anticipation of whether Pinocchio becomes real or not.
Know More About The Whale in Pinocchio?
Apart from the question of whether Pinocchio became real, there was one more that was unsettled. We will settle it today. Many viewers are in a dilemma if there is any whale in Pinocchio. The answer is YES! There is a whale in the movie. In both the original one and the remake one. Both have the infamous whale in them.
The name of this whale is Monstro, which has been portrayed as a bad whale in both movies. Monstro is more like a monster that doesn’t give way to the passer in the sea. Pinocchio and his father fought this monster to get through it.
But, in the remake, this whale seems more like a monster than a whale. Why? Because of some extra tentacles, it gets. Nonetheless, it was still a whale.
