Nitpick Description


Submitted by Nitpicker : Anonymous
Movie : Pinocchio - 1940
Nitpick Category : Scientific Fact
Nitpick Number : 43306
Approximate time of Nitpick : 10-15 minutes to the end
Summary : bubbles
Detail : When Pinocchio is under water looking for "his father" bubbles come \n out of his and Jimminy crickets mouths when they talk. This is not \n possible for several reasons. 1) Pinocchio is made of wood and cant \n breathe. 2) Pinocchio is under water for a long time and cant breathe \n under water even if he was a real boy. 3) You have to breathe to talk \n and under waterr you cant breathe When you are under water you \n cant breathe so if you talk bubbles should not come out of your \n mouth every time you talk. Sorry if this dosn't make much sense but \n watch the movie and you'll see.

Underwater breathing

This nitpick is valid except for point 3). Yes, it's true you can't inhale underwater, but you can exhale; thus you can 'talk' until you run out of breath (whether you can be understood is, of course, entirely another matter). Talking involves the exhalation of air, meaning that bubbles would indeed come from the mouth of someone talking underwater. The problem in this case is that Pinocchio not only does not have any air with which to speak, but also continues talking long after he would have run out of breath had he had any in the first place.

if Pinocchio cannot breath (at all) then how can he talk at all? He is a block of wood then where does the sound come from when he talks? The magic that brough him to life created many pardoxes and this is one of them.
