This sequence is an excellent demonstration of how the idea of "subtext" often confuses us into thinking that we're dealing with something expendable, when in fact it is the main thing the piece is about, and the "text" is only the cover for it. You can clearly see this in Pinocchio's acting and the change of his attitude as he goes through the song.

By the way, someone here made the bizarre choice to put Frank Thomas and Bill Tytla animations together in the same sequence.
