Mainly because in Pinocchios story, the boys (apart from Pinocchio) were left in that Godforsaken island. Whatever the reason, you can feel and see the pain and fear in their voices and bodies as they meet their fate. Maybe the fact that thinking about them is so depressing that that’s why these characters aren’t remembered much. Are they killed? Do they just wait to be transformed completely? Do any of the boys revert back? We never know. The sadder part is we aren’t told what happens to these boys. But you know there’s nothing you can do about it. You see their insufferable plight and all you can do is feel sorry for them and want to help them from this slavery. He cries to the Coachman and pleads for his mother but the Coachman puts him in a pen of other talking donkeys. One example of the latter is a boy/donkey named Alexander. If they bray, the transformation process is complete and they’re shipped out in crates but if they answer in English, it means the transformation hasn’t successfully gone through. Pinocchio’s friend, Lampwick for example, is last seen maniacally going insane and kicking tables as he discovers his transformation, and who can blame him? But as we get an inside look at the operation, we see the Coachman asking the donkeys their names. She doesn't even stay true to her word, because when the little wooden half-boy gets out of Pleasure Island only half turned into a donkey, she sends a message, via dove, that Geppetto has gone to look for Pinocchio and got swallowed by a big, evil whale.
Our hero Pinocchio escapes in time (with the help of his cricket conscience) before transforming completely into a donkey. Whatever the reason, the boys make jackasses of themselves (literally) and are sold by the Coachman and his men to do inhumane work around the world. Maybe he’s poisoned the drinks with a genetically modifying drug, maybe the island itself is an area of witchcraft, etc. What the kids don’t know is that the Coachman is a sort of slave trader/child trafficker! How does he manage to transport these boys without being caught? He transforms them into donkeys, of course! How? Umm……that’s not really explained. But everything has a price, including this scenario. He operates a joint called Pleasure Island in which he lures boys to enter and have the time of their lives. The Coachman turns out to be the most evil of these bad guys. This is wise as Pinocchio falls prey to many con artists along the way including Foulfellow, Gideon, Stromboli, and the Coachman! A fairy makes his wish come true and the model, Pinocchio, comes to life and a cricket is assigned to be his conscience. We journey now to Disney’s 1940 film, “Pinocchio.” The story is quite known: an old toymaker makes a wish to a star that his wooden model will become a real boy. Today’s entry in my forgotten Disney canon characters project is an extremely sad, depressing, and somewhat gut-wrenching one.
