I don't know, but it's been done in at least English and French. There was a movie adaptation produced in the Soviet Union, in Russian, and I know the novel had been translated.

The publishers of Peter Pan in Scarlet (the recent sequel novel) boast that their book has been translated into 37 languages.

Asked by Wiki User

The name of Geppetto's cat was Figaro.

Answer 2:

Figaro. This is also a brand name of cat food, the cat is shown playing a violin, but the (cat and the Fiddle) feline is unnamed in the rhyme. A violin ( a steel guitar for that matter) can be manipulated to sound like a cat.

How do you determine what the volt light on a 1997 Monte Carlo means on a car that starts?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the voltage light stays on after stating the car it means you have a problem with the charging system. Possibly the alternator has gone bad. Start the car and with a volt meter check the voltage at the battery terminals. it should read between 13-14.5 volts. If not, your alternator is not working. Most auto parts stores will check your system free of charge.

Asked by Wiki User

As is the case with many Disney characters, the somewhat philosophical Bug became a staple character with the studio. he was featured on the Mickey Mouse club- spelling out ( Encyclopedia) and so on. I am not aware of any linkage with Zip- a-Dee doo dah, but this was the title cut of ( Song of the South). It had cartoons mixed with live action a Disney innovation- common now with TV commercials like Tony the Tiger...

What type of fish was Cleo in Pinochio based on?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I believe Cleo was supposed to be an Oranda goldfish. she was large, social, had beautiful flowing fins that matched the oranda almost perfectly, and she had a bigger head and chubby cheek. Her body was also rounded like the Oranda. She liked to be touched. Orandas also like physical contact. you can look up an Oranda goldfish. She was a goldfish for sure but if I'm going to pin point what type, I'd say by personality and physical appearance that she was an Oranda. They're the most social of all the goldfis.

Pinocchio never turns into a wooden boy. He is a wooden puppet, carved by Geppetto.

In the end, when he finally proves his selflessness, courage and strength, he turns into a real boy, and his dream of being human comes true.

What are the main events in Pinocchio?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pinocchio's enemies, the Fox and the Cat, bind his arms, pass a noose around his throat, and hang him from the branch of an oak tree:

…a tempestuous northerly wind began to blow and roar angrily, and it beat the poor puppet from side to side, making him swing violently, like the clatter of a bell ringing for a wedding. And the swinging gave him atrocious spasms….

His breath failed him and he could say no more. He shut his eyes, opened his mouth, stretched his legs, gave a long shudder, and hung stiff and insensible.

The end.

What would happen if Pinocchio said My nose is going to grow now?

User Avatar

Asked by NA2451

The fact is that if pinochio said this he would be lying,so therefore his nose would grow,but then his lie would become true,and again because he spoke the truth his nose would shrink,which would make him a lier again,so therefore it would result in a never ending occurence of his nose growing and shrinking.

its almost like if you took viagra and steroids at the same time

or you can use the bubble theory and state that in one dimension his nose will grow and in another it would shrink

or you can say that one half of his nose would grow and the other would shrink making it a...wait for it...half truth"he he"

Then again, saying "my nose will grow" is a presumption for the future and a vague one at that. If he said that his nose would grow in the future, but did not specify when it would, so as long as his nose had the ability to grow, then the statement would be neither be false or true. If his nose could not grow, then his statement would be false, but if his nose could not grow, then he would have already broken the curse.

But if he thought he knew that his nose could not grow any more, then it would be a lie, and therefor his nose would grow. Then, in 200 milliseconds (average human reaction time), after realizing that his statement was in fact truth, his nose would shrink again. It would therefor not grow again as he had already satisfied the condition of his nose growing once.

What type of wood was Pinocchio made of?

Pine. the title tells the story, the puppet"s name literally means little Pine one, or Little wooden one- Woody is not too bad a free translation. as pine is often used for funerary vessels, perhaps the link to Frankenstein is , err, amplified.

You answered your own question- Pinocchio. Did it ever occur to you that Pinocchio, Frosty the Snow Man, the Golem- and yes Frankenstein are all in the same vein- artificial life- and usually it goes bad.
