About Pinocchio

When the gentle woodcarver Geppetto builds a marionette to be his substitute son, a benevolent fairy brings the toy to life. The puppet, named Pinocchio, is not yet a human boy. He must earn the right to be real by proving that he is brave, truthful, and unselfish.

Our take on Pinocchio

Disney's 1940 animated landmark brings a wooden puppet to life on his perilous quest to become a real boy, learning hard lessons about honesty and courage. Dazzling in its hand-drawn artistry and surprisingly dark, it set a benchmark for animated storytelling. If its wonder and fairy-tale peril charmed you, seek out classic animated fables and family fantasies about innocence tested by a dangerous world.
