Telling Stories

Hey diddly dee, an alternate life for me!

The Walt Disney Company has opened the vault and released its animated classic, Pinocchio, on DVD and Blu-Ray for its 70th anniversary.  This special two-disc combo includes the digitally remastered film, and a recently discovered alternate ending.

What? An alternate ending to Pinocchio?  What happens?  Does the Blue Fairy decide that Pinocchio really was a stupid little punk and didn’t deserve to be a real boy?  If so, I am going right out and buying this set, even though I don’t have a Blu-Ray player, because I think that would be totally awesome.  I’ll hijack my parents’ Blu-Ray just for the occasion.

What other warped alternate endings would you like to see for Pinocchio?
