Pinocchio - Donkey Transformation (Music Only)

[Uraharakun]

And this is why I never watched Pinocchio again.

[KingdomheartsII]

A real boy... with a real ass.

[Kartoonkid95]

What's he think I look like? A jackass?

[Donkeydude84]

I think this scene is actually quite hot. Lamp wick just bending over and unwillingly having a long tufted tail sprout out of his bottom. I would love to grow a tail

[Horseloverjump]

I think he is cuter as a donkey

[joshscomputer]

By the way, how did you make this?

[joshscomputer]

Old Disney has a way of making EVERYTHING in a scene follow the specific mood it's meant to follow. Not only is the visual horrifying and Lampwick's screams terrifying, but the music alone is doubly frightening.

[WildDancer101]

If you ask me, I never paid much attention to how scary this scene was when I first watched it, nether did I the other scary ones in the other disney movies. Somehow, I didn't have much reactions for these scenes as I thought I should, so maybe the disney magic must be wearing off on me before it was cast. Poor me.

[julkkis666]

best horror move in the world! wen i was yung i was sceard at this sceen

[spiritgirl41192]

"I've been double-crossed! Help, help!  Somebody, help! I've been framed! Help!" At 0:56, you can almost hear Lampwick scream.

[CartoonParadise99]

SCARED!!!

[RoninYorch]

Body horror

[tristonarcand]

0:10 - northern lite in japan

[tristonarcand]

0:05 - remix

[tristonarcand]

0:00 pinoccio and donkey transformation (music only)

[SixtailShadow]

@MC4EVAr Well, imagine that your friend starts turning into a donkey and then it starts happening to you, too. The kids must've been glued to their seats in the time period this film was released.

[taytodemayto]

@SixtailShadow i remember first time i saw that i was shaking . how ironic that disney is showing that when he's the one that practically handed sex-related and racist hidden messages to children . what a pervert way to enjoy hurting little children. the answer was there the whole time. just imagine the beer is TV and the video games is the cigar. i'm not saying those are bad, but used with excess , the kids actually really turn into donkeys!

[SixtailShadow]

It was the music combined with the screams that always got to me.

[sarah12345678991]

@cartooner2008 they why did he get ears

[EllieMillerChipette]

I get why they were turned into a donkey now. (When I was little, I didnt get it)

Cause when little boys behave like jackasses, they become them!

Poor Pinocchio, he had to watch the transformation.

[Kartoonkid95]

The vocals have MUCH more creepiness.

[crackfiendables]

i always think of this when im around people drinking!! they look like fools

[PsychoJosh]

It's funny how things that we don't pay any attention to as kids scare the shit out of us when we're grownups.

[hetepatat]

This litteraly gave me a nightmare when I was a kid. One of two nightmares I can still remember today.

[Preeminence21]

@hetepatat Not to be weird, but what was the other?

[hetepatat]

@Preeminence21

I'm at my home with my family in the living room and we've put flowers in vases near the windows. In real life there's more stuff on there but in the dream it's just the flowers in vases. Suddenly people start smashing in the windows from the outside one at the time. It's not clear who is out there since we can't see anything outside the (broken) windows for some reason. At the same time the living room itself is changed: all colors fade to black white and grey and everything

[hetepatat]

@hetepatat

more or less decays. The flowers are wilted when they hit the ground, there is dust everywhere the curtains have tears in them, look very old and wave about because of the wind now blowing into the house.

Me and my family are huddled together, scared, watching all the windows anticipating another attack or something. Then I woke up.

[Ferrychick1]

This is blood-curdling.

[jimruny123]

scary how they all cry for their moms

[YuiYamana]

@jimruny123 I know right! That used to break my heart as a child and it still does. That shows their innocence. 

[IggyHazard]

The irony of this scene is that Democrats (represented by the donkey) want to ban, or at least tax, alcohol and tobacco.

[WashashoreProd]

@IggyHazard Um... considering Pinocchio was written in 19th century Italy, that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

[IggyHazard]

@WashashoreProd The original story, sure. But does this version of Lampwick sound Italian to you? Anyway, it's only ironic because of the imagery (because it inverts expectation and/or reconciles two juxtaposed ideas), not necessarily the story behind the imagery. And at the time this came out, it wouldn't have been considered ironic. Of course, we know Stromboli turned them into donks to sell them for labor, not for any symbolic purpose. That Stromboli is a fascist pig.

[alombardino]

I think its weird he was gonna turn into a real donkey.. considering he is a puppet.. I thought well then why does'nt he turn into a puppet donkey? And why was he grey? lol.

When I was little I thought this part was really freaky and weird.. turning kids into donkeys..

[31operafan]

0:12: What the hell did I just drink?

0:17: What the hell did I just smoke? xD

[31operafan]

Man, the music makes the scene even scarier than it is. O.O I haven't seen Pinocchio as a kid, but if I did, I probably would have peed my pants in fright watching it.

[ripthefranks]

What is wrong about this film is that the boys are eternally punished for being stupid while the con men (honest john and gideon), psychopath (stromboli) and paedophile (coachman) receive no punishment

[Luixmai]

@ripthefranks

Like in the real life, the real villains rarely get punished. That is what this movie wants to show us

[ripthefranks]

@Luixmai Yeah I know but still... plus I'm starting to believe in kharma

[YoshiAngemon]

@Luixmai In a Kingdom Hearts Universe, the villains would only get engulfed by the Heartless! That is the true punishment!

[Luixmai]

@YoshiAngemon

Actually, Pinocchios town was going to appear in KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2. It was going to be set right after the movie and it was going to feature real boy pinocchio along with Cleo, Geppeto, Jiminy , Honest John and Gideon. However, this would was removed for the final version of the game, with no reason

I think that Pleasure Island would be a perfect place to fight heartlesses.

[icecoldkarma]

@Luixmai and the place where you could beat the hell out of people could have been like a boss battle arena! :D

[HardikG121]

scary shit

[mychinisnamedpaco]

now that i think about it, he seems to have a bizarre obsession with putting at least one human-to-creature transformation in almost every movies (though this is by far the most horrifying)

[mychinisnamedpaco]

Walt Disney was brilliant, but if you look at his work you realize he was also incredibly disturbed. this is a blatant example, but its everywhere. you can see what he was doing, its an allegory of drinker, smokers, etc becoming no better than, literally, donkeys. but its conveyed in such a disturbing sense, it totally loses meaning, particularily on the age group this was meant for, who probably wouldnt have understood either way.

[ghidorah15]

@mychinisnamedpaco I think it could be argued that every genius has issues. Or, to put it more broadly, everyone has a dark side.

[mychinisnamedpaco]

@ghidorah15 thats a good point i suppose,but its still a bizarre thing to obsess about nonetheless

[MondoBeno]

I always found this part of the movie extremely sadistic and inappropriate for children. It seems that the point of the film is that boys who like to have a good time are punished by transforming into donkeys and being sold into slavery.

[TheLogicJunkie]

Are you crazy? It's COMPLETELY appropriate for children. In fact, it's ESSENTIAL for children.

We would show our caring for children much more if we warned them early on in life, the high costs of myopic living.

[MondoBeno]

@TheLogicJunkie

What do you mean MYOPIC LIVING? Is a kid of his age supposed to know the difference? At age 10, if I were offered a chance to go to "pleasure island" where I could smoke cigars, drink beer, gamble, and have fun, fun, and more fun, I guarantee I'd have thrown my schoolbooks out the window.

[TheLogicJunkie]

@MondoBeno

Myopic means "near-sighted" -- as in "lacking vision". And my point is precisely that a kid his age WOULDN'T know the difference. That's why children actually have to be parented, and can't be allowed to run around willy-nilly, doing whatever they like, like savages.

[cutiecookie23]

i think the whole transformation is hilarious. XD

[sharky5921]

remember kids if u do drugs and drink and smoke under aged u will grow up to be a jackass lol

[LizzyChanz]

.... As I recall, the original story had Pinocchio transform all the way into an ass, and was made into a circus sideshow. When he sprained his ankle, they tied him up and threw him into the sea, where the fish ate off his donkey skin. >__>

[cynderdrag]

@LizzyChanz ok now thats just wrong.

[No1mjfan88]

@LizzyChanz oh god thats horrible 0-0. and this scene is kinda scaryish to me.

[LizzyChanz]

@No1mjfan88

I know, right?

>_> At least the story ends happy, yes?

[No1mjfan88]

@LizzyChanz never read it lol.

[LizzyChanz]

@No1mjfan88

Well the story in general, I mean. I've only read one version-- I've seen a few, too. >__>

[No1mjfan88]

@LizzyChanz ohh ok

[zakzakzak91]

the 1996 version gave me nightmares when those poor children turned into donkeys :(

[Ohsta6t2]

Cowards. Is THIS the scariest thing you ever saw?

[DarthBlam]

@Ohsta6t2 its the music.. not the video..

What is the scariest thing you've seen then, huh?

[MoreAnuk96]

Pinocchio SMOKKKEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[Johnny2071]

That scene scarred the s**t out of me when I was 5 or 6.

[216tman]

what was he smoking



[lovelyharajuku]

perfect music for a 1920-horrormovie

[Altair0115]

@lovelyharajuku Alfred Hitchcock worthy, even!

[ESUTERURE]

@lovelyharajuku Actually this was made in 1940.

[BlyssfulStorm]

Shit. 20 years later and no dialog and it still brings me to tears.

[Nascarrrrrrfan]

@cartooner2008 Why Pinocchio did not fall victim to the curse is simple. He only lightly misbehaved, unlike Lampwick, who felt the full wrath of the curse. More to the point, Jiminy's actions managed to get Pinocchio off the Island before the transformation was complete, which is why Pinocchio got away with only 2 wounds.

[Nascarrrrrrfan]

@Nascarrrrrrfan Make that three, because he brayed too.

[Nascarrrrrrfan]

Holy shit. I was on the edge of my seat when I saw this, shivering in absolute fear. I sometimes pretended I was in the movie by saying things like: Pinocchio! Lampwick's gone, there nothing we can do for him. we have to go, now!

[Luixmai]

@cartooner2008

Well, that happens in the movie. In the Novel, Pinocchio turns in a Donkey as well.

[nikker1985]

Awesome.

[aceshighdueceslow]

this is why no movie is complete without music, if you can get scared shitless by the music alone, someone did something right :)

[ROBERTS17x]

why does he turn into a donkey again?

seriously creepy.

[BlueStarReturns]

Oh... my... god!

I'd forgotten that scene! I guess hearing with the vocals never scared me that much as a kid.

Hearing it now with just the music... *shudders* it's amazing what the power of music can accomplish!
