When was Disney's Pinocchio made?
Disney released "Pinocchio" in 1940. Because animation takes a while to produce, it was probably made sometime in the 1930's. It couldn't have been made before then, because the actor who does the voice of Pinocchio (Dickie Jones) wasn't born until 1927.
Which town was Pinocchio from?
There is no clear answer, because Pinochio is a fictional character but here is my theory... Collodi is famous throughout the world for having given its name to CARLO COLLODI the pen-name of CARLO LORENZINI (1826-90). Italian author and journalist, best-known as the creator of Pinocchio the wooden boy puppet who came to life. His nose grew larger when he told a lie and returned to normal size when he told the truth.
The story has inspired many film makers, among them Walt Disney, whose animation from 1943 is well known. The Italian philosopher Benedetto Croce remarked that "the wood out of which Pinocchio is carved is humanity itself".
HOWEVER, the main inspiration for the village Pinocchio is from is called Rotenburg ob der Tauber which is located in Germany.
What does Pinocchio's father do?
In the book, Geppetto sells his coat to buy his "son" a textbook, gives him all the food he has (two pears), ends up in jail, then in a whale's tummy, all because Pinocchio is irresponsible and lazy (even though sometimes he understands the sacrifices Geppetto does for him, and wishes to repay him, except his good intentions don't go far).
When Pinocchio works hard and takes care of his now ill father, this makes Geppetto happy. In the end, when the Blue Fairy changes him into a real boy, she also cures Geppetto and makes their poor cottage into a nice house.
In Pinocchio who said A lie keeps growing and growing until it's as plain as the nose on your face?
This is an interesting question. You see, if he just walked up to you and said he was lying he might just be saying that and therefore his nose would grow because he is lying about the fact that he is not lying. BUT!! If he walked up to you and said he was lying and actually meant it, his nose would still grow because he was lying about something even though he was telling the truth and admitting that he was lying.
So yes, either way, his nose would still grow. It's confusing, believe me, I know.
What is grandpa's name in Pinocchio?
There aren't any grandfathers in Pinocchio; not as far as I know.
Geppetto is indeed an old man, but Pinocchio treats him like a father, not a grandparent.

Odd, we never learn the surname ( last name) of the father-figure Gepetto-which means Little Joe. ( Giuseppe is Joseph). now in Germany- well, Dial F for Frankenstein! there are more than a few similarities in the stories.
How many pages does the book Pinocchio have?
Pinocchio is an old book, and has been not only published in the original Italian but in many translations around the world, many times. Many electronic versions don't even have page numbers. So it's impossible to say for sure, but I think it's safe to say it's somewhere between 200 and 300 pages.
(The Puffin Classics version has 272 pages)

What is the name of the song with these lyrics I wish I wish upon a star someone like you?
Wish upon a star
The correct answer is 1323. Here is how you do it.
1 digit numbers = 9
2 digit numbers = 90 (99-9) number of 2 digit numbers - number of 1 digit numbers
3 digit numbers = 378 (477-99) number of 3 digit numbers - number of 1 & 2 digit numbers
So, the solution is:
1x9 = 9
2x90 = 180
3x378 = 1134
9+180+378 = 1323
What was the whale's name in Pinocchio?
Monstro was the whale who swallowed Pinnochio and also Geppetto.
Can you give me examples of tail tale?
You are probably intending on asking about a 'tall tale.' If it is about a tall tail, it might be about meerkats, they have very tall tails when they stick them up in the air. But a tall tale is a story that is so big in its descriptions of events and circumstances that is is hard to believe, sort of like bragging. A tall tale could be something like the story of Paul Bunion and his Ox.
