The book itself (and the movies) are morally lighter than Collodi's original, being aimed at young children. Since the book and movies were produced during the Soviet era, they could have ended up ideologically heavy.

Big bad guy, little good guys, domination of evil, escape, happily ever after. There were many unforgettable moments (both in the movies and in the book), quotes and references that made it into the Russian culture, a popular soundtrack, etc.
