PURELY HISTORY on Instagram: "purelyhistoryyy 🎬 Fun Fact: Pinocchio (1940) To make the underwater scenes with Monstro the whale feel realistic, the animators studied how water moved in aquariums and even filmed ink swirling in tanks to replicate the murky look of the ocean. These experiments helped them capture the sense of scale and danger when Pinocchio and Geppetto tried to escape, making it one of the most visually ambitious animated sequences of its time."
