Audio problem: When Honest John tells Gideon to take notes, Gideon throws his stick aside, but there is no sound of it hitting the ground.
Continuity mistake: The patches on Jimminy Cricket's hat change size, color, location, etc. throughout the entire movie.
Trivia: The film was a major commercial failure because it was released during the Second World War and very few people were going to the cinema.
Jiminy Cricket: Well... guess he won't need me anymore. What does an actor want with a conscience, anyway?
Pinocchio: I'd rather be smart than be an actor.
The Blue Fairy: Prove yourself brave, truthful, and unselfish, and someday, you will be a real boy.
Question: When Pinocchio finds Geppetto inside Monstro's stomach, Geppetto has shoes and socks on. But when Pinocchio and Geppetto are escaping on the raft, he is barefoot. Where did his shoes and socks go?
Question: In Pleasure Island, why did the curse take so long for Pinocchio and Lampwick to start feeling its effects after the other boys were already donkeys?
Answer: The other boys pigged out on all the sweets and other sugary substances. Lampwick smoked only cigars and drank beer. Plus, Pinocchio was a wooden puppet, not a real boy.
Answer: It's not explained. This appears to be a plot hole or whatever happened somehow got edited out.
