Even when Walt himself was running it, I found it objectionable that he would take classic stories such as Felix Salten's Bambi: A Biography from the Forests or Carlo Collodi's The Adventures of Pinocchio and proceed to make hash of them.

In the book, Pinocchio smashes the talking cricket with a hammer in the first 20 pages.
