My son just read "Bill Peet An Autobiography". In pages 95-108, Peet describes his involvement in Pinocchio, as well as his disappointment that the long list of screen credits didn't include his name. According to Peet's account, he did the storyboard for the Bogeyland sequence, which was ultimately cut from the film. After that, he remained on the Pinocchio staff for another year and a half, sketching for many story men working on nearly every section of the story. His sketches influenced the final versions of some of the characters, and some of Peet's ideas were incorporated into the story.

From a look at his career, Peet was one of the main writers for several of Disney's most beloved animated films (The Jungle Book, 101 Dalmations, Cinderella, Dumbo, Peter Pan, and several others).
