Why did Walt Disney and his staff depict Monstro as a whale rather than a shark in the 1940 film adaptation of Pinocchio?

    Probably because they thought a shark would have been too scary for children and would turn off parents taking them to see it. The irony is not lost, seeing as how they have a scary puppet master who kidnapped Pinocchio and had all the bad kids morph into donkeys, which was terrifying to me as a child...
