A fairy fulfills his wish and brings the wooden puppet to life. The journey of Pinocchio, his father Geppetto and his friend Jiminy Cricket is adventurous and full of danger. First, a fox and a tomcat sell the wooden boy to the puppet theater of Stromboli, then they take Pinocchio to an island full of children who can have fun there without any rules, only to be transformed into donkeys and sold by the shady coachman Lampwick. Pinocchio manages to escape, but when he gets home he finds that Geppetto is gone and has been swallowed by a whale. After Pinocchio is also swallowed by "Monstro", he and Geppetto make him sneeze and manage to escape on a raft. The escape from the whale ends with the raft being smashed and Pinocchio dying. As Geppetto mourns the loss of his son, Pinocchio is rewarded for his brave and selfless behavior, brought back to life and transformed into a real boy.
