When the lonely woodcarver Geppetto receives a magical piece of wood, he gives life to a puppet named Pinocchio, hoping he will finally have a son of his own for company. But the old man’s dream never comes to life, as Pinocchio disobeys Geppetto and runs away from his workshop looking for trouble.
