Geppetto, a lonely toymaker, carves a wooden puppet and makes a wish that one day he may have a real family. That night, the Blue Fairy grants his wish, and brings the puppet, Pinocchio, to life. She provides Pinocchio with a Cricket for guidance and reminds him that he must prove himself worthy so that he can one day become a real son to Geppetto. Pinocchio is sent off to school, and despite his desire to please his newly found father, gets distracted and swindled along the way. A sly fox, a cunning conman, and many other acquaintances present challenges as he tries to remain kind and true in his pursuits. Come and see how Pinocchio navigates these adventures and more as he discovers the power of honesty and the deep love of a family.
