Foulfellow and Gideon are Pinocchio's adversaries during the film. Although they are arguably not evil, they are without a doubt unscrupulous, living as confidence tricksters and not being too fussy about how low they stoop to get a quick buck. They are also shown smoking cigars, drinking beer, and are responsible for many of the problems that Pinocchio runs into during the story, such as skipping school to be an actor and going off to Pleasure Island when he should have been returning to his father Gepetto. They embody the idea of temptation that Jiminy Cricket warns Pinocchio about early on.
