I don’t understand what we gain by having Pinocchio be a puppet in the real world. He is a non character if they do that. I am just not sure how they can have a plot revolving around him if he is a puppet. I think the idea that because he is made out of the tree and Geppetto knows that makes the wood special or something and will help them transport Emma could work. I just don’t want Geppetto to do something shady behind Snow and Charming’s back. I don’t think that makes sense.
I do think it is a little bizarre that the tree would still be a stump like that if Geppetto made Pinocchio out of it. I don’t think that makes sense either. I think that Geppetto would cut the tree down and make the puppet. Unless Geppetto used that tree to make him because he already knew it was a magical tree. Which seems bizarre. I don’t know.
