In the original movie, Jiminy first visits Geppetto's workshop and Geppetto is not seen anywhere when he first drops in because he immediately makes himself at home looking around and spots Pinocchio sitting on the shelf just until Geppetto comes downstairs to work on him and finish him up. But in this remake, Geppetto is already seen working on Pinocchio even when Jiminy first drops in.While the " naughty little boys" taken to Pleasure Island were all, in fact, boys, among them in the live-action remake, there are also little girls. Additionally, not only the boys turn into donkeys, but the girls as well. The most likely reason that Disney included girls in the 2022 remake was to avoid being sexist, as girls can also be troublesome and disobedient like what boys can.
