Talk:Geppetto/@comment-24258073-20160903052900

You know prior to reading these articles I never actually realised that Geppetto got swallowed alive by Monstro because he actually learned about Pinocchio's whereabouts in Pleasure Island. Up until then, I thought that his decision to search for Pinocchio on wet land was just a coincidence, or just a throwaway excuse for him to get himself into the situation where he got swallowed alive.

I was very young the last time I saw this film, so it's understandable that I didn't get a very good understanding of the film without reading some articles about it. I can't have been more than nine at the latest. I also didn't realise until yesterday that Monstro had a name (having always misheard his name for the word "Monster" which I thought was used as a description for his size).
