Fun-Fact: Carlo Collodi wrote The Adventures of Pinocchio (1883) as a vehicle to express his hatred of Jewish bakers and how their usury banking was raping Florence to death.

Every time Pinocchio ignored the teachings of Jesus Christ and committed sins, represented by the taking cricket, his nose would grow to represent he was becoming more Jewish.

In the original novel, pleasure Island was a version of the modern day Epstein Island, where children would go and never return. They would transform into donkeys, which was 1800's slang for a slave.
