Pinocchio: The Wishing Star Cut/Transcript

=PINOCCHIO: THE WISHING STAR CUT=

Scene 1: Opening:
????? ?????
 * (The animated Disney logo reuses the same variant since The Jungle Book and The Lion King, but with a few changes: the arc is added in but with a completely different look, not much like the same animation used in the normal logo, the camera stops at the last notes, and the text being still when it fades in. The music is complete without a transitional swerve, this time by Alan Silvestri, but as the star is about to form the curved line, Jiminy Cricket (2D flash and hand drawn animated in the same way as he did in the film, and voiced by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) introduces himself, floats down the right side of the logo, singing the last part of the fanfare, in which the song, "When You Wish Upon a Star", was originally from the original 1940 animated version of the film of the same name)
 * Jiminy Cricket (Joseph Gordon-Levitt): (singing) When you wish upon a star, your dreams come true. (sighs) Isn't that a catchy little tune?
 * (the logo fades out once it's done. Also on a black background, a light shines through the lower-middle-left of the screen. It later dies down, revealing a train that bears a resemblance to the Reading Streamlined Crusader that moves forward, with the text "IMAGEMOVERS" slowly swinging in and stretching underneath the train. When the train gets fully to the screen, the screen flashes, and the text appears fully underneath the train in a wooden skin and the gold-silver color, as the train becomes a still image and has the back trains on it turning into filmstrips. The logo slowly zooms out when it is completed. And snapped to black.)
 * (silent in a several seconds in black then a blue wishing star appears at night.)
 * Jiminy: Well, how do you do? Cricket's the name. Jiminy Cricket. I'm only older and wiser. And I'll bet a lot of you folks don't believe that about a wish coming true. Of course, she's just a fairy singing our way from hearth to hearth, but let me tell you what made me change my mind. I'm myself, your conscience be your guide. And these are stories about a young hero who knew exactly what's gonna happen to them on this adventure to their heart's content. "Peter Pan". Well, that was really humdinger, I tell you. "Alice in Wonderland". Hmph, that's a young heroine where everyone chose to be a humdinger. But the most conscience of all the tales were humdinger. And I'm here to tell you one humdinger of a tale. It was a tale about a wooden puppet who wants to become... an honest-to-goodness real boy. His name is... "Pinocchio".
 * (the camera pans to be filled with books of titles, including on the front where the book shows “Pinocchio" while a text appears "Disney presents", "A ImageMovers/RKO Pictures production", "In association with Depth of Field Studios". The movie title "Pinocchio" same appears at a book filled with magic sparkles and opens it and turned the page to begin the story...)
 * Jiminy: Once upon a time, a long time ago, my travels took me to a quaint little village. It was a beautiful one night. The stars were shining like diamonds high above the roofs of that sleepy old town.

Scene 2: When a Little Wooden Head Was Here With Me
?????

Scene 3: The Wishing Star:

 * Geppetto: Oh. Oh, what a beautiful clear night. Ah! Beautiful. Figaro? I forgot to open the window. (Figaro climbed up the window and open it up) (laughing) Figaro, look at Pinocchio there in the moonlight. He looks almost like a real boy. (chuckles) (gasps) Look, Figaro. Look, look, look. It's... It's the Wishing Star. Oh! I haven't seen one in so... We should make a wish, huh? Yeah? (softly) Starlight, star bright... first star I see tonight... I wish I may, I wish I might... have the wish... I wish... tonight. (as an enchanting instrumental music playing; Geppetto chuckles softly) Figaro, do you want to know what I wished for? I wished that my little Pinocchio might be a real boy. (sighs) Wouldn't that be nice, Figaro? Just think. A real boy! A real boy.
 * Geppetto: (yawns) Still, (grunting and sighs) If my wish came true, Figaro, that would be wonderful. (sighs) Wonderful. (snoring)
 * Jiminy: A very lovely thought, but not at all practical. (goes to sleep)

Scene 4: The Blue Fairy/Pinocchio Comes to Life:
?????
 * (mystical and mysterious music playing as when everyone was sound sleep the Blue Fairy comes down from her star that night...)
 * (ticking and slows down and clock rings)
 * (mystical music playing as a brilliant glow which grows more dazzling every minute. It is the Wishing Star. In the center of the glow appears a very beautiful half-black woman with glittering white hair in a bald forehead dressed in robes of flowing blue while Jiminy suddenly awaken, then wakes up as he sees a strange light; mystical notes playing)
 * Jiminy: (gasps) Whoa! (falling back down from the fingerboard of a violin and leans out) As I live and breathe, a fairy!
 * Blue Fairy (Cynthia Erivo): Good Geppetto, you have given so much happiness to others. You deserve to have your wish come true. (to the puppet) The gift of life is tine. Little puppet... made of a wooden pine... wake. (the wand touches Pinocchio as Pinocchio comes to life)
 * Jiminy: Jumpin' jeepers... He's alive! What they can’t do these days. Now see here. What's this all about?

Scene 15: Jiminy Reunites with Pinocchio:

 * Jiminy: Psst. Pinocchio. Pinocchio. Listen up.
 * Pinocchio: Jiminy. Gee, am I glad to see you. Stromboli locked me in this cage.
 * Jiminy: Pinocchio! What happened? (he floats down on his cage) What did he do to you?
 * Pinocchio: Oh, he was mad. He said he was gonna push my face in everybody’s eye.
 * Jiminy: Yeah?
 * Pinocchio: And just ‘cause I’m a goldbrick he’s gonna chop me into firewood!
 * Jiminy: Oh, is that so? Well, Pinoke, I guess this isn't what you signed up for when you decided to be a famous actor, is it?
 * Pinocchio: It's not my fault. I never wanted to be famous.
 * Jiminy: Sorry, kiddo. That's not the way I remember it.
 * Pinocchio: But I didn't want to be famous. I wanted to go to school. It's true. All of those people cheering and applauding. I hated it. Which is why I'm telling you the hundred ten percent (110%) most honestly honest, truthiest truthiness ever. Believe me. Okay, that last part wasn't true. But everything I said up until then was.
 * Jiminy: Now, quit telling those whoppers. Don’t you worry, son. I’ll have you outta here in no time at all. (he climbs intop the padlock) Why this is just as easy as rolling off a… umph! (clanking) Kinda rusty. (clanking resumes) Needs a little oil. (echoing) That’s what I said. (the spring sends him flying out of the lock) Woo-hoo-hoo! Must be one of the old models.
 * Pinocchio: You mean you can’t open it?
 * Jiminy: Yeah. Looks pretty hopeless. It’ll take a miracle to get us outta here.
 * Pinocchio: Gee.
 * Jiminy Cricket: A fine conscience I turned out to be.
 * Pinocchio: (crying) I should've listened to you, Jiminy.
 * Jiminy: No, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have walked out on you.
 * Pinocchio: Guess I’ll never see my father again.
 * Jiminy: Oh, buck up, son. It could be worse. Be cheerful… like me! Aw, take it easy, son. Come on, blow. Atta boy. Oh, well, it stopped raining anyway.

Scene 16: The Blue Fairy Returns:

 * Jiminy: Hey, that star again! The lady! The Fairy! (the star shines through the clouds)

Scene 17: A Charismatic Coachman:
????? ?????
 * Honest John: Now, sir, what’s your proposition?
 * Coachman: Well... how would you blokes like to make some real money? (drops a big sack of gold coins)
 * Honest John: Well… and who do we have to, eh… (making the signal of cutting a head off)
 * Coachman: No, no, no. Nothing like that, you know. You see... (he peers around to make sure he’s not been overheard) I’m collecting stupid little kids.
 * Honest John: What? Stupid little kids?
 * Coachman: You see... (whispering) The disobedient ones that play hooky from school.
 * Honest John: Oh, yes...!
 * Coachman: And they take them to the coach with all those donkeys... without... you, two... them.
 * Honest John: Us? Well... Yes… (as Gideon rubs his finger in Honest John's ear so he can hear more clearly...)
 * Coachman: ...and I takes ‘em to Pleasure Island.
 * Honest John: Pleasure Island...? Pleasure Island. (gasps, realizes that...) Pleasure Island?! But we suppose…
 * Coachman: No! There is... simply no risk! The kids... They never come back… as BOYS! (yells, scaring Honest John and Gideon) And... GIRLS! (as Honest John screams in fear and Gideon hides on the table) Now, I’ve got a coach load leaving at midnight. We’ll met at the crossroads and no double crossing.
 * Honest John: No...
 * Coachman: Any good prospects you find... and bring them to me. Just scout around.
 * Honest John: Y... Yes, sir.

Scene 18: Pleasure Island:
?????
 * Coachman: Blimey! Look what we've just fished up off the bleeding street. A little wooden boy!
 * Lampwick: Look at him. He's made out of wooden slats. I'm Lampwick. What's your name, Slats?
 * Pinocchio: My name's Pinocchio.
 * Kid #1: Pinocchio?
 * Kid #2: Pinocchi-who?
 * Lampwick: Pinocchio. So what's your story, Slats? Why you made out of wood?
 * Pinocchio: Because I'm a puppet. But I want to be a real boy.
 * Coachman: Oh, I must say, for a puppet, you are very clever indeed. Only the smartest young lads know about the collection.
 * Pinocchio: Collection? What collection?
 * Lampwick: The collection for The Island, you blockhead. You have to be on a deserted crossroads after dark. You were on the corner, so you got collected. Come on.
 * Pinocchio: Oh. Okay. But I need to find my conscience. (as Coachman laughs)
 * Lampwick: Conscience?
 * Pinocchio: What's so funny?
 * Coachman: You. Your conscience is the last thing you want to take to Pleasure Island.
 * Pinocchio: Pleasure Island? Is that where you're going?
 * Lampwick: You bet your sweet patootie that's where we're going. It's the greatest joy joint in the world. No cops, no school, no rules. You can tear the place apart and nobody says a word. (as Lampwick and Coachman laughs)
 * Coachman: Did I hear you correctly? You would like to be changed, transformed, so to speak?
 * Pinocchio: Yes. (showing a ticket to the Coachman) But Honest John gave me--
 * Coachman: Well, it's very fortunate that you're coming with us, because Pleasure Island will be the most life-altering experience you will ever have. You don't want to be a real boy after all, that's for sure.
 * Pinocchio: Really?
 * Coachman: Aye. Cross my heart and hope to die.
 * Pinocchio: (as Coachman chuckles) Well, Mr. Coachman, it sure sounds fun. (chuckling, turned disappointed) But I don't trust you.
 * Coachman: (screaming as he stopped the carriage):  WHA-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-AT?!!!!!!!  WHA-A-A-A-A-AT?!!? (pause) Well, kids, it seems we have a doubter in our midst. A killjoy who apparently doesn't believe in having fun. I mean, who doesn't believe in transformative experiences? Shall we all turn tail and go running back to Mommy and Daddy?
 * Children: No!
 * Coachman: Look, you kids go. I'll go another time. Oh, I'm sorry. It doesn't work that way. So tell us what you say... little wooden boy?
 * Pinocchio: (shakly) Okay, then. I say we all... go. (as the children cheers)
 * Coachman: All right, then. Pleasure Island awaits!
 * Jiminy: Pinocchio! No!

Scene 19: Donkey Children:

 * (Later, everything is run down and no one else is stirring but Jiminy Cricket...)
 * Jiminy: Pinocchio! Pinocchio? (whistle) (he passes the donkey...) Huh. I wonder where everybody is. (when the beast-like demons,The Coachman's Assistants that captured a donkey and have him shipped off to the salt mines and the circuses as Jiminy hides in fear. And it disappeared) What is that about? (walking to find Pinocchio) Where is everybody? The place is like a graveyard. I don't like the looks of this. Pinocchio! Hey, where are you?
 * Lampwick: Now we're talking. Am I great or what? It's awfully quiet.
 * Pinocchio: Where do you suppose all the kids went, Lampy?
 * Lampwick: They're around here somewhere. What do you care about? They're all losers anyway. Four in the corner. You're havin' a good time, ain't ya?
 * Pinocchio: Uh-huh, I sure am.
 * Lampwick: Oh boy! This is life, huh, Pinoky?
 * Pinocchio: Yeah, it sure is. (sips a root beer in a stein)
 * Lampwick: Oh! Look at that.
 * Pinocchio: (hiccups)
 * Lampwick: Another perfect shot, if I do say so myself. (as he was using a candy cane with this hand as Pinocchio surprised) Just take a big suck out, like this! (sucking a candy cane into his mouth, slurping)
 * Pinocchio: Okay, Lampy! (he takes a really huge sucking on his candy cane, causing his face to turn red; he then swallows the red stripey and his eyes swirling a red and white striped, and then turns green in the face as burping comes out of his mouth)
 * Lampwick: Hey, some fun, huh, kid? (as Pinocchio nods nauseously) Ap-cray! Scratched it. Something is wrong with the table. It's tilted or something. Okay, Slats. Your shot. (Pinocchio climbs onto the pool table and tries to aim at the 8-ball) (laughs) Listen to Mr. Goody Two-Shoes. Well, I guess you ain't transformed into a complete jerk yet. Ha!
 * Pinocchio: I don't want to be a jerk. I want to be a real boy.
 * Lampwick: (scoffs) The way you're going, you might make it to a real boy. It looks to me like you still got a conscience inside of ya.
 * Pinocchio: I wish I still did have a conscience.
 * Jiminy: (furiously shouting at him) PINOCCHIO! (as Pinocchio falls flat on his face, he hops at the table) So this is where I find ya! How do you ever expect to be a real boy?! Just look at yourself... Eating candies, playing pool! (kicks the ball angrily) Oww! You're comin' right home with me, this minute!
 * Lampwick: Say, who is the beetle? (picks up Jiminy)
 * Jiminy: Hey! Let go! Put me down! Put me down, I say!
 * Pinocchio: He's my conscience. He tells me what's right and wrong.
 * Lampwick: What?! (drops Jiminy) You mean to tell me you take orders from a grasshopper?
 * Jiminy: Grasshopper?! Look, you impudent young pup! It wouldn't hurt you to take orders from your conscience, if you have one. (stands on the ball)
 * Lampwick: Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. Screwball in the corner pocket. (sends Jiminy and the 8-ball into a pocket)
 * Jiminy: (tumbles, as Lampwick laughs) (losing his temper) Why, you young hoodlum! I'll knock your block off! (takes his jacket off and prepares to do battle) I'll take you apart and--
 * Pinocchio: Oh, don’t hurt him. He’s my best friend.
 * Jiminy: (enraged) Your best friend? And what am I? Just your conscience! That does it!
 * Pinocchio: But, Jiminy...
 * Jiminy: (squishes his hat down and wears his jacket, putting his foot down) You buttered your bread, now sleep in it! (he falls into a pool table, tumbling on the floor; Lampwick laughs at him even harder) Ha, ha, ha! Go on, laugh. Make a jackass outta yourself. I quit!
 * Pinocchio: But Lampwick says a guy only lives once.
 * Jiminy: (with his furious look) Lampwick? Lampwick...! Hmph! It burns me up. I tried to do it for him! Who's his conscience? Me? Or that hoodlum... Lampwick? I've had enough!
 * Lampwick: Just let him go already! (he swings Jiminy with a pool table stick, sending Jiminy to a hole under the table)

Scene 20: Lampwick's Transformation:

 * (Jiminy falls out of a hole in a underground, he finds the Coachman and his henchmen who are loading donkeys into crates and onto the boat; Jiminy hides behind his umbrella, seeing the Coachman’s henchmen capturing the donkeys)
 * Jiminy: What's with all the donkeys?
 * (the henchmen loading donkeys into crates and onto the boat again)
 * Jiminy: Oh, brother. It's like I've dropped into a Miyazaki setting.
 * Coachman: Come on, you scum! We haven't got all night. (to his henchmen) Let's have another one. (a frightened donkey is brought out toward him) So... what's your name? (as the donkey brays) Okay, you'll do. (as the henchman appears and tears the clothes off the donkey and throws him into a crate) You boys and girls will bring a nice price!
 * Jiminy: (horrified) Boys? Girls? The kids?!
 * Coachman: Next! (as another donkey is brought out toward him) What might your name be?
 * Alexander: Alexander.
 * Coachman: What? So, you can still talk.
 * Alexander: Yes, sir. I wanna go home.
 * Coachman: Take him back! (as the henchman grabs Alexander and throws him into a pen with six other donkeys that can still talk)
 * Alexander: Please! I don't wanna be a donkey. Let me out of here! (the rest of the donkeys all beg and protest in unison)
 * Coachman: (comes forward and yells furiously) SHUT UP! (cracks his whip, scaring the donkey boys) You have had your fun with boys and girls. Pay for it now. Let's move it, you scum. (cracks his whip) The sooner these donkeys get to the salt mines and the circuses, the sooner I get paid.
 * (as the henchman appears and caught a donkey and tears the clothes off but the rocket falls on Jiminy, he stares it)
 * (back in the pool hall...)
 * Pinocchio: I still say it's not right to yell right as somebody's about to make a shot.
 * Lampwick: Get over it. Everybody knows psyching out your opponent is a great strategy.
 * Pinocchio: You gotta do what you gotta do to win. You're wrong, Lampy. I still call what you did cheating.
 * Lampwick: Come on. To hear you talk, you'd think something terrible was gonna happen to us. (as Lampwick suddenly sprouts donkey ears. Unaware of this, Pinocchio gasps, now seeing that the beer has an effect, gapes, and pushes his beer away) Conscience, right. (as he strikes a ball and grows a donkey tail, as a shocked Pinocchio) What a crock.
 * Pinocchio: Uh, Lampy, you might want to check your...
 * Lampwick: Who do I look like to you? (when his head turns into a fuzzy brown donkey muzzle, turns around, shows Pinocchio that he now has that head of a donkey) A jackass? (brays)
 * Pinocchio: (laughs) You sure are...
 * Lampwick: Hey, you sound just like a donkey... Haw-hee... Did that come out of me?
 * Pinocchio: Uh-huh.
 * (Lampwick looks in a mirror as he feels his face, realizing he has a muzzle instead of a nose. He feels his donkey muzzle again, and then feels his donkey ears from bottom to top, feels nothing but fur. he tugs at his ears. he sees that he is only half a donkey, and screams in terror)
 * Lampwick: Help! Somebody help me! I've been double-crossed! I've bee- I've been framed! You gotta help me, please! Anybody! Anybody, please! Be a pal! Just call the beetle! Call anybody! Help me, please. (lets go of Pinocchio, as his hands close up, turning into hooves; Pinocchio gasps in shock and backs away, scared) Mama! Mama! MAMA!!!!! (In the shadow, Lampwick is forced down on all fours, and having turned into a donkey completely as a blood-curdling scream, begins to run around the room, and starts braying wildly, while Pinocchio hides behind a chair and suddenly sprouts gray donkey ears; and when Lampwick smashes the mirror with his back hooves, knocks tables over, and kicks chairs all over the place, and still continues to bray uncontrollably; Lampwick kicks the another table with his back hooves, it goes flying back headed with the puppet and knocks the mirror down as Pinocchio reflects himself in the mirror down)
 * Pinocchio: Oh, no! What's happening?! What... What’ll I do?! (as he has a tail too by sprouting it out, grabs it, and gasps) Help! Jiminy! (whistles) Jiminy! Jiminy, where are you?! Jiminy!
 * (as in the hole, Jiminy pops out with his firework and it explodes and he lets it go and floats down to find Pinocchio)
 * Jiminy: Pinocchio! Let's get out of here! The kids, the boys and girls, they're all turning into donkeys... (gasps) Oh, no! You too?

Scene 26: Lampwick and The Children Reunite with Pinocchio and Geppetto:
????? ?????
 * Lampwick: Hey, Slats! The whale ate him up!
 * (Pinocchio and Geppetto looked around at their children watching him)
 * (Lampwick and the children reacts at Coachman's corpse floating in the whale's belly filled with water)
 * Lampwick: I think... we're going home. (as the children cheering)
