"Pinocchio" (1940)-Pinocchio & Monstro Sequence

Collecting can be especially rewarding when you find a complete match of anything!

You might remember this sequence with Pinocchio and Monstro (from "Encyclopedia of Animation," page 197).

The first sheet ("DFX40") in the set we collected is a layout (Production 2003 Sequence 10.9, Scene 5.1) showing the positioning of several overlays...


The individual sheets start with "C-44," the Pinocchio...


Next comes the fish in the background, page "102"


Finally, the fish in the foreground on sheet "F-125."



Here is what the image looks like when overlayed in Photoshop...



While it's great to have this many items in the sequence, it does present a challenge to frame. Here is what we finally ended up doing...

  1. Pinocchio and Monstro were in this scene both animated by Woolie Reitherman, with effect animation by John McManus and Cornett Wood, who were credited for their work with Scr. (= the whole screen footage of 3-00 ft or 48 frames), 1/2 Scr. (1-08 ft or 24 frames) and 1/4 ft. (0-12 ft. or 12 frames) respectively. Tne background of this Multiplane shot was reused from Sc.6.
