Pinocchio Pleasure Island Hidden Message

The hidden message of Pleasure Island in 1940 and Pinocchio movie.

In both the 1940 and 2022 Pinocchio movies, there are places on Pleasure Island made specifically for doing things which would be considered misbehaving such as roughhousing, vandalizing a building, destroying things, but what appears to justify the kids being turned into donkeys in the original movie is the fact that they smoke and drink alcohol. However, in the 2022 movie there is no smoking -- out of respect to Walt Disney who died at the relatively young age of 65 because he was a heavy smoker -- and the kids do not knowingly drink alcohol, so a number of people have stated that the kids are being punished for having fun and are not misbehaving because this place was made specifically for shoplifting, vandalism, etc., etc. Personally, I feel if you showed either movie to a kid, they would understand that shoplifting, vandalism, theft, insulting each other, roughhousing, playing with fireworks and firecrackers is wrong.

I feel that Pleasure Island has another message in both movies. The message is NOT that eating candy, drinking root beer, going on amusement park rides and doing fun things which are part of the game is bad, it's that kids need to be aware that things which are too good to be true are a scam/probably false and if they're gullible enough will believe to be real. If they're not careful bad things can happen -- not turned into a donkey and be sold for a profit or anything like that, but still bad things can happen or it's not what they thought it was.

The kids probably only learned about Pleasure Island either from flyers or from a COMPLETE STRANGER that they likely met for the first time that night, not from anybody they know who has actually been there and experienced it. If Pleasure Island is such a wonderful place for kids to go to and so close to home then why haven’t these kids heard of it before? Parents would see an exotic Disneyland or Disneyworld like place (essentially in their own backyard which they probably never heard of before) with no rules or adults where kids can have all the candy and root beer they want, and has places where shoplifting, stealing things from each other, vandalizing schools, breaking clocks, insulting each other, sword fight with firecrackers, and shoot fireworks at each other is legal and can do it at will without any consequences is very fishy, but the kids won't think this is fishy and if they don't suspect anything fishy bad things can happen to them.

Don't talk to, go anywhere with a stranger, or take anything from a stranger.

Even in the 1940 movie, Jiminy Cricket finds the place to be phony and wants to get Pinocchio off the island. The saying "stupid little boys" doesn't necessarily mean they're naughty little boys, but they're Very Gullible. In real life there have been children or people in their late teens-early 20s which have been lured to someone or into their house for reasons which are not wrong, and they are duped and killed or held captive. Some examples being John Wayne Gacy and Ariel Castro.
