THE ADVENTURES OF PINOCCHIO
The Adventures of Pinocchio is the
original tale of the wooden puppet who wants to be a real boy.
In a small Italian village, an old wood-carver named Geppetto lovingly crafts a
wooden puppet. But unbeknownst to him, the wood he used was extremely unusual,
and when the toy is finished, it comes alive! Named Pinocchio, the puppet can
do everything a living boy can do - especially when it comes to making
mischief. Pinocchio longs to become a real flesh-and-blood child, but must
survive many adventures and learn a few life lessons before achieving his
fondest wish.
