Walt Disney's second full-length film follows the fortunes of a little wooden puppet made by Gepetto. So kind-hearted is the old toy-maker that the Blue Fairy comes down from her star to give him his dearest wish and to bring the little puppet to life. But she warns Pinocchio that if he is to be a real boy he must prove himself truthful, good, and brave. To help him she appoints tiny Jiminy Cricket as his official conscience and he has a full-time job.
