Jim Hill and Drew Taylor celebrate Halloween week by taking a deep dive into Disney’s darkest fairy tale — and the long, strange legacy of “Pinocchio.” From canceled attractions and creepy Hong Kong mazes to Julie Taymor’s unrealized Broadway musical, this little wooden boy has haunted Disney history for over 80 years.

  • Why Walt Disney once scrapped six months of work on “Pinocchio”

  • The forgotten Disneyland expansion that almost gave us “Pinocchio Square”

  • How Hong Kong Disneyland turned the film into a full-blown haunted maze

  • Julie Taymor’s eerie, abandoned “Pinocchio” stage musical

  • The odd connections between “Pinocchio,” “Wicked,” and “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”

  • Plus Drew talks about four new animated shorts that he recently saw at Disney Studios which are up for Oscar consideration next year

A spooky, story-filled episode perfect for animation fans and Halloween listeners alike.
