Description

Classic Disney animated feature which follows the famous wooden puppet who wants nothing more than to be a real boy. Pinocchio (voice of Dickie Jones) is the wood-carved creation of Geppetto (Christian Rub). When the pair are visited by the Blue Fairy (Evelyn Venable), she grants Pinocchio the opportunity to become a real, flesh-and-blood boy, but only if he learns to be brave, honest and unselfish.

To this end Pinocchio is granted a conscience, one which comes in the shape of the diminutive Jiminy Cricket (Cliff Edwards). However, Pinocchio soon discovers that being good is not as easy as it sounds. The film won two Oscars, for Best Song ('When You Wish Upon a Star') and Best Original Score.
