What's Going on Behind the Scenes?

Stromboly is not a very savoury looking character. The fox acts out this sort of false enthusiasm about what pinocchio is up to and pretends that he's his friend. A puppet master would pay a lot for something that is capable of semi autonymous movement like that. So anyways, what's going on behind the scenes? Well, if you look at stromboly, it's not clear he's someone you'd want to have pulling your strings....
