Premise
When the woodworker Geppetto carves a wooden puppet named Pinocchio, he wishes on a falling star that Pinocchio could become a real boy. In the middle of the night, the Blue Fairy gives life to Pinocchio and informs him that he can only become a real boy if he proves himself to be brave, truthful and unselfish. She appoints Jiminy Cricket as his conscience and Pinocchio tries to behave like a real boy. However, the novelty of being a wooden boy begins to attract the attention of some shady characters.
