Looks Quite Different in Adult Eyes
This is one I know I have not seen since I was a child. For example, I completely missed the pederasty implications of "Pleasure Island," where the bad boys are taken and do not come back -- at least as boys. OK, they are turned into donkeys and sold to the mines, but I suspect the Disney studios were able to recognize that a synonym for "donkey" is "ass." That's right; their asses were sold into slavery!Once again, I had forgotten most of the details, including the wonderful clocks and mechanical toys in Geppetto's shop. Or the way he set up housekeeping in Monstero's belly. He and his cat are fishing while his goldfish looks on placidly in her fish bowl.This is yet another Disney classic that is worth sharing with your children and/or grandchildren, but you may have to explain some of the more arcane aspects. 1940 was a long, long time ago.
