Yes, for a brief period of time Pinocchio lived inside of the whale Monstro. He was swallowed when he tried to save his father Gepetto who was trapped in the whale.
Monstro was the whale who swallowed Pinnochio and also Geppetto.

A whale of a fine choice! My Old man was a whaling buff, having read over 200 books having some connection with Whales and Whaling so I can lean on his experience. Monstro the Whale in Pinocchio , while wholly a fictional character seems to be from the looks of things based on the Sperm Whale which is the largest of the toothed whales and also the main protagonist of Moby Dick. The whale incident is obviously inspired by the Biblical tale of Jonah and the Whale One is reminded of a l904 parody song confusing the Biblical whale tale with the then modern subway emergency brake. (Jonah was a fisherman, so the Bible tell, hitched across the ocean on a Transatlantic Whale, the whale was going faster than Jonah thought was best, Jonah pulled the handle down, the whale did the rest! More seriously it can be argued the Collodi tale(Pinocchio ) is an amalgam of Jonah- certainly the whale episode-though inthe novel originally a dogfish( a shark), and Frankenstein, the old idea of artificial life, which generally runs amuck.
There are several bad persons in Pinocchio. The fox and the cat are bad. Mangiafuoco or Strombi is mean but not bad, however in the Disney version he locks Pinocchio in a cage. The dogfish or Monstro in the Disney version is bad because he swallowed Pinocchio.
