Pinocchio

Lively, curious, a bit reckless, Pinocchio sometimes tells little lies which he believes are for good reason. Too bad his nose always stretches as soon as he tells one, and Pinocchio eventually tells the truth – always! Our little hero wants to explore the vast world beyond the threshold of Geppetto's Shop, fascinated by all the things he can discover. He loves adventure and dreams of becoming a real boy. He knows hard work awaits him if he wants to make his wish come true, but despite his mischief, Talking Cricket and the Fairy are there to help him! Step by step, between adventures and mishaps, victories and setbacks, Pinocchio always knows how to get by through being cheerful.
