Disney deleted what many social media users considered a morbid post on their official Twitter account on Monday, which showed the classic character Pinocchio seemingly left “dead inside.” The tweet, which was posted around 2 p.m. on Sunday to the brand’s nearly six million followers, was a GIF from Disney’s 1940’s classic Pinocchio showing the doll being enchanted by a blue fairy with the tagline: “When someone compliments you, but you’re dead inside.”
“Makes no difference who you are,” the tweet read, a lyric from the film’s Oscar-winning song, “Wish Upon a Star.”
The post quickly went viral, garnered around 30,000 retweets, thousands of comments, and millions of views before it was deleted.
Some fans were confused by the dark message, with several speculating that it had a deeper meaning about famous doll’s character.

Pinocchio 2018: a boy confused by which restroom to use?
Disney = America’s Ministry of Culture.
I don’t get it.
What’s the broohaha about the tagline?
Only through their Miramax studio.
However, the abuse of the pre-teen girls for their tv shows and movies are legendary in the entertainment industry. If you send your daughter to do a movie for Disney, she is almost certainly going to end up sexually abused along the way.
If I am understanding your post, people are speculating that the tweet had a deeper message than just an internet meme or pun.
Like what? Pinocchio had almost as much wood in his head as Algore?
Many people on Twitter tend to take their posts and any unexpected posts very seriously. There is often too much outrage stirred up about very minor, mundane tweets.
This goes for both conservative and liberal.
The outrage is often misdirected, and generalized, with one poster mad about factor A in an article, and another poster mad about factor B. Both seem to think they are responding to the same thing.
To tweet or not to tweet, that is the question.
I chose not to.
Disney makes lots of movies for kids where one or both parents are dead. We know they’re dead inside.
Yes. Apparently some other people thought so as well and *got* it.
He better be telling the truth when he says he identifies as a girl.
