Dear Hive Mind,

I have a powerful memory of a song from Disney's Pinocchio (1940) where Pinocchio and Geppetto have been swallowed by a whale and sing a sad song worried about what will happen. (They later escape by setting a fire and making the whale sneeze.)

The lyrics I remember are something like:

What's gonna happen to us?
What's gonna happen to us?
All swallowed up but at least we're not eaten
What's gonna happen to us?


In there times of uncertainly I went looking for the song and found... nothing. It doesn't exist.

Now the obvious answer is that at some point I switched placed with myself from a parallel world and found myself on this Earth with its Jiff Peanut Butter and Shazaam the Genie but I wonder could it just be that I'm misremembering where the song is from? Is there some other film with a sad song about being eaten?

Sincerely

Kid Kyoto

Could be a knock-off Pinocchio?

I’m sure the old cheaply animated cash-ins existed since VHS became household?

I'll say this is impressive at least:

Doing a google search for: "All swallowed up but at least we're not eaten"

Yields exactly one result. This thread.

Quite impressive.

From AI:

The provided lyrics, "What's gonna happen to us? What's gonna happen to us? All swallowed up but at least we're not eaten What's gonna happen to us?", are from the song "What's Gonna Happen (Reprise)" in the movie "Barbie and the Secret Door". The song is about embracing the future and taking control of one's destiny. The specific lines you cited seem to express a mix of anxiety and resilience in the face of an uncertain future.

Apologies, looked deeper and that's just AI nonsense; they're not actually the song lyrics at all...
