just the appearance of Monstro, a big black whale with many sharp teeth and an aggressive look, could scare some kids.
Stromboli initially acts friendly toward Pinocchio but when the latter tries to leave, he throws him in a cage and raises his voice very loudly while telling Pinocchio that he will be keeping him forever and chopping him up for firewood when he has no further use for him. When Pinocchio protests, Strombolli screams at him to shut up. This sudden change in his demeanor may be jarring and frightening to younger viewers.
Contains frightening (but not traumatizing) scenes and images that might scare sensitive viewers (Monstro the Whale, Stromboli, the Coachman, Pleasure Island, Lampwick's transformation, etc.)
Lampy candlewick turning into a donkey is definitely an anxious/eerie scene.
There are many controversial outdated stereotype scenes involving blackface stereotypes that appears throughout many scenes in Geppetto's workshop including an India man on a clock, an African man jack in the box, 2 blackface soldiers next to Figaro, a blackface duck and soldier in Stromboli's caravan. However, these are always in the background and only seen from far away, never in closeup, so they will go unnoticed by most.
Mild/Moderate for neurodivergent viewers.
