I don’t like the idea that the tree could be used twice. First because if they could have all just popped through it to the real world and been together well that would have been nice. And second if Geppetto somehow put Pinocchio into the cabinet ahead of Emma, and it would have had to been ahead, and taken the chance that it would not have worked for Emma who is supposed to come back and save the world, that just wouldn’t make Geppetto a very nice guy in my mind.
Also in the newspaper article it would have said baby and seven year old boy found on side of road without parents, but it didn’t say that it said baby found by a seven year old local boy so people knew the seven year old.
