The interior of a mammoth
whale figures importantly in sev-
eral sequences of “Pinocchio,”
Walt Disney’s second full-length
feature production, which is com-
ing as a gala attraction at the
Palace theater next Sunday and
Monday.
The legions of readers of the
famed book by C. Collodi will re-
member the exciting adventure
wherein the old wood carver Gep-
petto, foster father of the little
marionette, Pinocchio, who has
run away from home.
Pinocchio, returning home only
to find his father gone, starts to
search for Geppetto, with the re-
sult that he winds up in the inter=
ior of the selfsame whale. Their
adventures inside the monster and
their efforts to get out come to the
screen as exciting and funny as
only the Disney medium can make
them.
The artists at the studio spent
many hours of research studying
whale anatomy in order that a cer-
tain amount of reality cound be
combined with the necessary fan-
tasy for these sequences. They
had to bring their fertile imagina-
tions into play to solve many
questions such as how the world
might look to one standing inside a
whale’s mouth looking out, or how
the walls of the stomach should
look in closeup on the screen.
“Pinocchio” is released by RKO
Radio pictures.
