Walt Disney's Stromboli is a much more sinister Hollywood villain
than the original character written by Italian author Carlo Collodi.
In the book "the Showman," as he is called, kindly sets
Pinocchio free and even gives him five gold pieces to bring home
for Geppetto. Bill Tytla's forceful animation of Stromboli is
widely regarded as one of the pinnacles of animation acting,
although the famed comedian W.C. Fields was reported to have
criticized Stromboli's performance, saying, "He moves too much."
Film: "Pinocchio" (1940)
Voice Artist: Charles Judels
