Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night is an animated feature film produced by Filmation, distributed by New World Pictures, and released on Christmas Day, 1987.One year after becoming a real boy, Pinocchio is entrusted by Geppetto with a delivery job: take a hand-crafted jewel box to the Mayor. Unfortunately, he instead trades the box away to a pair of con artists he meets on the road, in exchange for a big, shiny — and fake — ruby. Geppetto, upon finding out, is somewhat less than pleased.That night, a guilt-ridden Pinocchio runs away from home. What follows is a series of hijinks including a mysterious carnival run by a creepy puppetmaster who transforms Pinocchio back into a lifeless puppet, "The Land Where Dreams Come True" that offers freedom and toys but at a terrible price, and a Wacky Wayside Tribe for Pinocchio's sidekick Gee Willikers.The movie is ostensibly a sequel to the classic tale, but it draws a lot from the Disney version: it has a duo of Funny Animal con artists (albeit a raccoon and monkey, instead of a fox and cat), a cordial, wisecracking anthropomorphic insect conscience figure in the style of Jiminy Cricket (complete with a name cribbed from a common mid-20th-century American interjection), a sadistic Italian puppetmaster, a place that tempts children and then punishes them, a titanic battle on the high seas and a few musical numbers. Disney noticed and sued Filmation for copyright infringement; they lost, as the original is public domain.See also two sister Filmation productions: Journey Back to Oz, a sequel to The Wizard of Oz, and Happily Ever After, an unofficial sequel to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs produced at the same time as this film (and which Disney had more success in driving into obscurity).

Dirty Coward: When the Emperor's ship starts breaking apart, Puppetino tries to make a run for it along with everyone else. The enraged Emperor instantly strikes him down.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything? A more subtle form, but listen very closely to the song "Do What Makes You Happy", which sings about the joys or abandoning home to pursue the life of a rule-snubbing vagabond. How many kids and teenagers have ran away from loving homes just for a taste of freedom? And how many have later come to regret it? "No one to scold you/No one to hold you"...

That Reminds Me of a Song
 Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night / int_1ab65185
comment
That Reminds Me of a Song: The set-up for "Love Is a Light (Inside Your Heart)" probably qualifies as this, particularly since it existed solely to show off the talents of Rickie Lee Jones. However, the song in question is crucial to the lesson as well as the climax of the film, and while never mentioned explicitly again an instrumental version of it does play as part of the soundtrack during said climax. Lacking in subtlety, but still effective.

Deal with the Devil: The Emperor tries this on Pinocchio, and it nearly works as he willingly forfeits his free-will over to guarantee his family and friends' safety. But the Emperor screws up, as he fails to live up to his end of the deal, triggering Pinocchio's wrath -- and vow to leave by force.

Captain Ersatz: Most of the film's characters for characters from the original book, especially as they were presented in the Disney adaptation. Gee Willikers is Jiminy Cricket given Pinocchio's origin story, Scalawag and Igor are Honest John and Gideon with redeeming characteristics, Puppetino is Stromboli with magical powers, and the Emperor of the Night is an even scarier version of the Coachman. The giant ship turning out to have a magical underworld within it combines the Pleasure Island locale and Monstro the whale.

Pinocchio Nose
 Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night / int_26673a22
comment
Pinocchio Nose: Similar to a scene from the Disney film, Pinocchio causes his nose to grow when the Fairy Godmother comes to his aid from the puppet master and asks him to explain himself. Later Pinocchio purposefully lies to use his nose as a Chekhov's Gun to reach the handle and open a big door, and shrinks it down by "telling the truth" which consists in him declaring his love for Geppetto, missing home, claiming he learned his lesson and promising to never be tempted by anything again. The nose grows a little from that last part, and fully shrinks when Pinocchio corrects "At least I'll sure try not to!"

If Puppetino’s unusually wistful reaction when telling Pinocchio about carnival life is anything to go by, he may have joined the Emperor because he wanted to meet people. This is, of course, assuming Puppetino was human to begin with.

Not Using the "Z" Word: It's pretty obvious that the Satan-esque Emperor wants to take Pinocchio's soul, as he has done with countless others. Despite this, the word "soul" is never used. Instead, the Emperor turns people into puppets so he can take away their "freedom".

The Dragon: Puppetino, it turns out. While very effective at first, particularly in using temptation to get Pinocchio to make his Deal with the Devil, by the end he proves to be next to useless, cowering like a random Mook, and when the shit hits the fan is a Dirty Coward. Even his powers seem to be a gift from the Emperor, if his ultimate fate also implies a stripping of those powers, thus rendering even his earlier crowning moments rather lackluster in retrospect. His fear of his boss, however, was likely due to fear of You Have Failed Me (and he was right to worry).

comment
Broad Strokes: While it's never confirmed outright, the movie seemingly takes place in a continuity where Pinocchio never went through his adventures from the original book and instead it implies that the Good Fairy turned him into a real boy and nothing of note happened until the events of the movie. This would explain why none of the other characters from the original story are even mentioned and why Pinocchio doesn't find anything that's happening to him even remotely familiar.

Satanic Archetype: Let's be honest with ourselves here: "Emperor of the Night" is a fancy way of saying "Satan" without Moral Guardians getting upset; the Emperor is a demonic entity of darkness who rules over a realm called "the Empire of the Night", to say nothing of how he tempts people into sin and makes deals in exchange for people's "freedom", complete with contracts. At the very least, however, his design is unique and not a Big Red Devil like most would expect.

Evil Puppeteer: Puppetino fits this role to a T. He has the power to turn Pinocchio back into a puppet, and has already done that with Twinkle before him. Which makes you wonder if his other puppets are also children and people he transformed.

Besides those two, we have Gee Willikers, a small insect named after an interjection who tries to keep Pinocchio on the straight and narrow, much like Jiminy Cricket; evil puppet master Puppetino (Stromboli) who imprisons Pinocchio; and a painfully obvious expy of Lampwick in the Neon Cabaret scene. And like Monstro, the Emperor's ship swallows their boat whole and provides the backdrop for Pinocchio's final battle.

Karma Houdini
 Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night / int_a70223
comment
Karma Houdini: Technically, everything that happens in the movie is the fault of Scalawag and Igor for taking the music box from Pinocchio, yet because in the end they change sides and stand by him, they're given free passes, everyone walks off as friends, and this is never really brought up again. Justified, perhaps, in that unlike Foulfellow and Gideon, they were thieves and con men for fun and profit, not out of malice, they clearly regretted their mistakes, and they genuinely do redeem themselves. In fact, they even offer to take Pinocchio's place as lifeless puppets (though the Emperor of the Night isn't interested).

comment
Malignant Plot Tumor: Gee Willikers and Lieutenant Grumblebee enlist the aid of bugs everywhere by visiting "Bugzburg" and fight off... a frog. The side-story has little consequence, consumes a lot of time, and nearly derails the plot of the entire movie! Considering the film was supposed to get a spin-off based around the town (which came very close to a Fall 1989 debut, but scrapped due to L'Oreal disposing of the studio with their purchase of it), it comes off more as a poorly disguised Backdoor Pilot than anything else.

It's obvious that Scalawag and Igor are meant to be stand-ins for Foulfellow and Gideon. However, because raccoons are cute, chubby, and cuddly, and these two end up proving their inner heroism by swallowing their cowardice, doing a Heel–Face Turn, and helping Pinocchio out in the end—if only by getting him to the empire and then standing by him when it counted.

comment
Writing Around Trademarks: Even though Filmation won the case when Disney sued them for copyright infringement because they don’t own the original book and characters, it is pretty clear with some of the characters in the movie that they were trying to copy the Disney movie: Because Disney came up with the name of “The Blue Fairy,� the characters only refer to her equivalent here as “The Good Fairy� and “Fairy Godmother,� despite her blue dress, skin and hair and the “Blue Light� making it pretty obvious. Gee Willikers being an obvious stand-in for Jiminy Cricket even though the Talking Cricket didn’t have a real name in the book and didn’t fill the same role and his name being a blatant reuse of the idea of using an interjection as his name (“Gee willikers!� as opposed to “Jiminy cricket!�).
