1990s 3D: Pinocchio's Daring Journey!



In May 1983, all of the Fantasyland dark rides at Disneyland were given new Tudor-style exteriors and the insides were completely revamped. Pinocchio was a new addition, joining Snow White, Peter Pan, Mr. Toad, and Alice in Wonderland. In 1995, a photographer from Glenview, Illinois, took his 3D camera to Disneyland and captured these amazing shots. You rarely see vintage interior shots of a ride, let alone in 3D. It was necessary to put these in Genuine FauxD© to capture that three-dimensional feeling. Sue, I know you’ll love these! First, we see what happens when Pinocchio tells a lie:



Over at Pleasure Island, the little boys enjoy a ride on the carousel:



Gideon and J. Worthington Foulfellow are up to no good:



Jiminy Cricket descends upon the scene:



Gepetto looks for Pinocchio:



Back home safe and sound, Pinocchio is about to be transformed into a real little boy.



This must have been a favorite scene of the photographer’s; he took two shots.
