In the 1940 Walt Disney film Pinocchio, the Dogfish is named Monstro (which is Portuguese, Esperanto, and archaic Italian for "monster") and is portrayed as an aggressive and man-eating sperm whale, in contrast with the "gentle giants of the sea" in real life, with massive jaws, both of which have sharp teeth, and a grooved underside like a rorqual, similar to the whale in the novel Moby Dick.
The idea of having Monstro the whale consume the canal boats came from a never-implemented concept for a "Monstro the Whale" ride, in which small boats were to be swallowed by Monstro and then plunged down a watery path into a pond below. The attraction reopened on June 16, 1956, under the new name Storybook Land Canal Boats.
