In the new “Pinocchio,” available on Disney+, director Robert Zemeckis pays homage to some of the studio’s characters with a scene.
At Disney, it’s a wink or a call too Easter eggs, isn’t just for Marvel movies and series. Robert Zemeckis’ Pinocchio features some unexpected characters and references. Most are in Geppetto’s workshop, where he spends his days making clocks.
When Jiminy Cricket enters the doll house, the latter is already making his doll. Suddenly, all the clocks on the wall are ringing. It’s bedtime for Geppetto.
His various works depict iconic figures of the Disney studio, such as Donald Duck, Maleficent and Princess Aurora, but also and above all Woody, the cowboy from Toy Story voiced by Tom Hanks. An obvious tribute to the actor who appears here as Geppetto.
Watch the scene here:
It’s also impossible to miss Roger and Jessica Rabbit, both from the Robert Zemeckis classic, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, released in 1988. But that’s not all. Another short sequence, still with hours, shows other characters like Rafik and Simba from The Lion King, Snow White and the Wizard or even Dumbo.
In 2004, when the director released The Polar Express – also with Tom Hanks – the stage paid homage to Pinocchio. When a little boy follows a train, he discovers a car full of rusty and abandoned toys, including many dolls. One of them is none other than Pinocchio with a broken nose.
The plan is taken from Robert Zemeckis’ movie The Polar Express.
coincidence? maybe not The same series features Scrooge, a Charles Dickens character who was adapted five years later by Robert Zemeckis for the cinema in Scrooge’s Merry Christmas with Jim Carrey. Everything seemed already written.
