Stromboli

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

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

Pinocchio was freed from the cage by the Blue Fairy and Jiminy Cricket but is scolded for lying to the Blue Fairy and ignoring Jiminy 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.
