In the 1940 Disney film, Pinocchio and Geppetto escape Monstro (the whale) by building a large fire inside his stomach using wood from Geppetto's boat. The smoke irritates Monstro, causing him to sneeze, which ejects them on a raft. In the original novel, they escape 'The Terrible Dogfish' by walking out of its mouth while it sleeps.
Pinocchio escapes Monstro by devising a plan to force the monstrous whale to release them through a violent expulsion.
Here are the specific details of the escape:
(Note: Although the escape involves a frantic chase afterward where Monstro attempts to swallow them again, the act of escaping his belly is accomplished solely through the creation of the internal fire and the resulting sneeze.)
The summary does not clarify that this escape method is specific to the Disney version. In the original novel, they escape the 'Terrible Dogfish' by walking out of its mouth while it sleeps (due to asthma).
