Pinocchio is the classic tale of a puppet brought to life by magic. An old wood-carver named Geppetto receives a piece of wood to build a chair for the Mayor. However, when he starts to carve it, the wood speaks and says it wants to be a puppet! Geppetto carves the wood into a puppet and names it Pinocchio. Brought to life by the Blue Princess, a puppet without strings has a lot to learn. Can Pinocchio learn to be good and finally become a real boy?
