Talk:Pleasure Island (Pinocchio)/@comment-753723-20170424031257/@comment-6032121-20170424184836

I wouldn't think so. I rather think they thought 'Pleasure Island' was a more interesting translation inasmuch as it already had a hint of immorality to it — the word 'pleasure' is associated with sin and lust more often than not, while most English-speaking audiences hearing the world 'Toyland' would think of a charming dream country inhabited by sentient toys — much like the one Disney did create for Babes in Toyland.
