Stromboli

Stromboli is the name given to the fierce puppet-master who acted as a villain in Disney's animated adaptation of the fairytale Pinochio - at first Stromboli portrayed himself as a large but fairly friendly man who wished for Pinochio to perform in his show, which Pinochio did with glee (in his famous "I have no strings" melody).

However after the show had finished Stromboli showed his true nature when Pinochio wished to return home to Gepetto, Stromboli declared Pinochio was "home" and threw him into a cage - threatening to chop the puppet into firewood should he try and escape.

Pinochio was freed from the cage by the Blue Fairy and Jimminy Cricket but is scolded for lieing to the Blue Fairy and ignoring Jimminy Cricket's advice - Stromboli is not heard of again following this encounter and is presumably still performing his stage shows: minus his former star attraction.
