Pinocchio plays pranks upon the kindly woodcarver Geppetto, is duped by the Fox and the Cat, kills the pedantic Talking Cricket, and narrowly escapes death, with the help of the blue-haired Fairy. A wooden puppet without strings, Pinocchio is a tragicomic figure, a poor, illiterate, naughty peasant boy who has few choices in life but usually chooses to shirk his responsibilities and get into trouble.
Pinocchio is a puppet, but he can move, he can walk, and he can talk. Pinocchio goes to school but Honest John and Giddy see him. “We can make a lot of money!” they say … Can Pinocchio find his way home? Can he find his father? Will he ever be a real boy?
