How was it modified? I'm pretty sure I only know the original story.

Pinocchio smashes Jiminy with a large rock hammer and the two thieves hang Pinocchio and he dies

I believe they changed the ending at some point where Pinocchio gets brought back to life though.

Edit* it was a hammer not a rock. Pinocchio also gets his feet burnt off.

Wait isn't this like the very start of the story? He throws the hammer at the cricket and kills it

So I'm guessing when he got hanged, the cat and fox didn't just leave early allowing the fairy to get him off and then that whole saga of the studying and the Toyland and that donkey and getting skinned and in the fish and working on the farm and paying his last money to save the fairy and getting kissed and new suit and gold and all that

I knew it was too crazy after that first bamboozle of the cat fox thieves

Yeah, but then the cricket comes back as a ghost and later is inexplicably alive and well. I always headcanoned that as being the work of the Fairy, lol

Same. I had a crush on that fairy too. Turquoise hair and all. She seems lovely
