I agree with most of your comments about this wonderful set (I actually find the sequence where Pinocchio rotates his body and keeps his head still funny). However, I would like to make a comment about the restoration of the film itself. The colors are bright and they really pop, which is great in the sequences where they should be bright and pop. As you mention, there are some disturbing sequences and every other time I've seen the film, whether in the theatre or on home video, those sequences have been darker. The color palette used in the scene matched the mood of the scene. Now, those scenes are just as bright as every other scene and they lose some of their impact. I wish the people doing the restoration had paid more attention to this. Very nice review, KC.
