He also misrepresents Geppetto's capture by Monstro (the whale) because Geppetto is swallowed while at sea. Monstro swallows the boat he's on. It's pretty simple.
But more importantly he is trying to apply the idea of the whale to being the underworld from Campbell's Monomyth and the jungian archetype of the carcass allows him to do that, because he doesn't understand the story.
