15. The Horrors Of Transformation
“The transformation scene in Pinocchio.
Not only is the atmosphere of that park the same as you’d get from two layers into a fever dream, but let’s throw in a character losing their humanity for good measures. And let’s show every step of it.
Feeling his grip on everything he knew was human fade away. His mind, his ability to call for help, to be able to communicate. The one thing we have above the animals, gone.
His last thoughts being that of his mother, a mother that he would never see again, and who wouldn’t recognize him, nor be able to help him. Would he even remember her?
He struggles in vain as his very being is twisted beyond his control. He fights it, but it’s for nothing. He’s being locked inside a form that is alien to him, a form that he doesn’t have control over, a form that makes him something lesser.
But did they stop there?
No, of course not. The sequel has Pinocchio turning back into a puppet with the exact same process going through his ever solidifying mind with a single tear soaking into the wood he thought he’d escaped.
So yeah, fuck that shit.”
