Stromboli
Stromboli, voiced by Charles Judels. Stromboli is a large, sinister, bearded Italian puppet maker who forces Pinocchio to perform onstage in order to make money.
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."
