When hard-up lonely carpenter Gepetto carves his very own puppet, he gets more than he bargained for. The magical blue spirit turns his beautiful wooden creation, Pinocchio, into something he always longed for, a child to call his own. Keen for Pinocchio to fit in and make friends, Gepetto sends them to school… but Pinocchio has other ideas!
Meeting a whole host of shady characters on their travels, Pinocchio, with the help of the Cricket, must try to be brave, truthful and selfless as they navigate the joys and dangers of the world, learning the hard way about consequences on their journey to becoming real. Join Pinocchio on the adventure of a lifetime in this heart-warming and fantastical tale about coming-of-age, loyalty, hardship, redemption and unconditional love.
