Added DiffLines:

* AdvertisedExtra: The Italian film posters and trailer prominently display the names of Rocco Papaleo and Paolo Ruffini, who are the voices of Mangiafuoco and Lucignolo respectively. While both characters do have major roles, they do not appear or speak again after their initial appearance. Gabriele Caprio and Mino Caprio--as Pinocchio and Geppetto respectively--aren't even mentioned!

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Lampwick's naughtiness is almost non-existent, making him come off as a slacker more than anything.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Pinocchio tells his first first lie to Geppetto when he claims he's too sick to go to school, causing his nose to grow longer. Instead of the blue fairy scolding him for this, it's his father who intones "some lies have short legs, others have long noses."
* AdaptationalKarma: Inverted. Although the film follows somewhat closely to the book's events, the Fox and the Cat don't get their comeuppance. Instead, they successfully trick Pinocchio into burying his coins for a money plant, and steal it while he goes for a walk into town. Afterwards, [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse they disappear from the story completely]].

* PinocchioNose: Obviously. Pinocchio tells his first first lie to Geppetto when he claims he's too sick to go to school, causing his nose to grow longer. His father intones "some lies have short legs, others have long noses." After that, it's been used several more times throughout the story.

** Pinocchio and Lampwick turn into donkeys after staying in the island for five months. Here, they start turning into donkeys after a night's sleep. It also excises the part where donkeys are sold off to farms or circuses in favor of keeping the donkeys in the island to keep the Land of Toys functioning, and the Land of Toys has a circus of its own to send Pinocchio there, heavily streamlining the sequence of events.

** Pinocchio and Lampwick meet later in the story as they're about to go to the Land of Toys instead of being classmates at school.

** Pinocchio and Lampwick meet later in the story as they're about to go to the Land of Toys instead of being classmates at school. Lampwick also suffers UncertainDoom after the two transform into donkeys.
** The Land of Toys is located on an island not unlike Disney's Pleasure Island. Nowhere does it say on the book that the Land of Toys cannot be reached by land, hence why the Little Man's mode of transport is a coach pulled by donkeys (and why he's also known as the Coachman).
