Character Description

Pinocchio is a wooden puppet, carved by the kindhearted Geppetto, who dreams of becoming a real boy. Thanks to the magic of the Blue Fairy, his wish is partially granted—he comes to life but must prove himself worthy of becoming truly human by demonstrating courage, honesty, and kindness.

However, his innocence and naivety lead him into a series of perilous adventures, where he encounters both endearing and dangerous characters:

• Jiminy Cricket, his loyal companion and moral guide,

• Honest John and Gideon, the cunning tricksters who deceive him,

• Stromboli, the ruthless puppet master,

• Monstro, the giant whale that swallows Geppetto and his boat.

Through his journey, Pinocchio learns the values of responsibility and sacrifice, proving his pure heart. As a reward, he is transformed into a real boy, fulfilling his deepest wish.

With its universal themes and groundbreaking animation, Pinocchio remains a timeless Disney masterpiece, delivering life lessons that continue to resonate today.
