Synopsis |
Geppetto, a craftsman who makes toys, happens to get a strange trunk of wood that moves and talks. He carves the puppet from it and names it Pinocchio. Pinocchio learns life lessons with the help of the Fairy and the Talking Cricket through many temptations and hardships. Sometimes making detours for pleasure, impulsively trying to grow money, or even lying, the little puppet child keeps going on a larger-than-life adventure! So what kind of miracle happens when Pinocchio’s goodness finally matures? |
