[ Chimes tinkling, mice squeaking ]

NARRATOR: Once upon a time,

there was a king, our viewers will say.

No, kids.

In this tale, there is a place where animals can speak,

a child can look like a grown-up,

and, very often, grown-ups can act like children.

Once upon a time,

there was a simple piece of wood.

Oh, my goodness me, I can't see a thing --

not a thing!

Now, which way is it?

Oh, dear, perhaps milady's right

and I do need glasses.

But I know they'll make me look old, and I'm not old.

And ugly -- heaven knows I'm not ugly.

Why is it always so dark in the evenings?

Where does the sun go at night?

I'll have to ask madam to give me some light.

How beautiful you are.

Do butterflies make you happy, Medoro?

Spreading joy is the best thing you can do in this world.

Isn't it?

A thing that comes into the world

and spreads no joy or happiness

might just as well never have been born at all.

Ooh!

How long do butterflies live, Medoro?

A butterfly, they say, never knows sorrow.

It lives only one happy day and dies before the morrow.

And, anyway, there's no such thing as time, Madam Fairy.

You're quite right, Medoro. Time doesn't exist.

-Mm-hmm. -But now it's time to go.

It's getting late.

Yes.

Well, I'm not sure I remember the way.

You don't remember, or you can't see?

I'm very sorry to ask again, Madam Fairy,

but could we possibly have just a little more light?

Just a twinkle more.

If you must, Medoro.

[ Chimes tinkling, mice squeaking ]

[ Water trickling, birds chirping ]

Thank you, Madam Fairy.

Giddyup, my little ones!

[ Children shouting ]

Slow down, boys. Take it easy.

[ Bells tolling, indistinct conversations ]

[ Hoofbeats ]

[ lndistinct shouting ]

[ Groaning ] Ooh!

Hello?

-Whoa! Ooh! -[ Woman screams ]

-Wha-- -Stop, you hooligan!

It's a log!

Arrest that log!

-Oh! -[ Squawking ]

Aah!

POLlCEMAN: There it is!

In disguise, huh?!

You don't fool me! Unh!

Unh! Oh!

Watch out!

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

[ All screaming ]

No!

-Stop! -Aah!

Ooh!

VENDOR: Why did it have to be my peaches?!

Oh, my word! Oh, my house!

Oh, my head!

Stop, in the name of the law!

I'm not sure that's going to work, officer.

Leave it to me. I'll catch it!

If he thinks he's getting away with this --

-He doesn't think at all! -[ Dog barking ]

He's a log!

You're a good-looking frame, I must say.

And now...you know what?

I'll just add a rose to you here, all right?

You don't like the rose? As I expected.

All right, well, let's make it a daisy, then.

-[ Thumping, crash ] -Good heavens, what was that?

Is there anyone there?

This better not be a joke.

Some rude little boy running wild in the streets.

Aah! What -- What the --

How did this --

Did someone lose a -- a log?

Anyone?

Hmm....

Well...aren't you a beautiful piece of pine?

Let's see, now.

You'd make a nice hat rack.

No. I could make a puppet with it.

Oh, what a fine puppet it's turning out to be.

It's as if it's making itself.

You'll be like the son I never had

and take care of me when I'm older.

Oh, am I hurting you?

Of course not.

Oh, it comes so easily.

There!

You'll make me so proud, huh?

Your very big eyes, nice and round,

pretty black hair,

a beautiful mouth with the sweetest little tongue.

Papa, can I try your yellow wig on?

I've told you a thousand times, don't interrupt, huh?

[ Scraping ]

I should never have started with your mouth and tongue.

Anyway, who told you the hair wasn't mine?

Is it obvious?

[ Laughs ] Is it obvious? Where did you find that thing?

And what color is that, exactly?

It looks like you've got a fried egg on your head.

You just keep that mouth shut for a while.

All right, Papa, I'll keep my mouth shut.

? I'm keeping my mouth shut ?

- ? I'm keeping my mouth shut ? -[ Gasps ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

Either I'm going out of my mind, or that puppet spoke.

Yes, I'm sure it did.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

Excuse me, did you speak, or have I gone crazy?

Oh, my.

Uh...[ Clears throat ]

Uh, are you all right?

Well, Gepetto, and you?

Fine. Yes. Fine, thank you.

What am I thinking?

It can't speak.

How could it speak? It's only a puppet, huh?

-Ah-choo! -A puppet can't talk.

-Ah! Ah! Ah! -Papa, please shut the door.

I'm naked, and it's cold in here!

What do you know? A talking puppet.

Hey, stop that, Papa. [ Laughing ]

Stop tickling!

May I have your attention?

Ladies and gentlemen, introducing...

-What? -Me.

Now, what name could I give you?

Yeah, you're made out of pine.

-That's true. -Let me call you Pinocchio, huh?

Pinocchio -- I like my name.

And what a fine puppet you are,

with such beautiful clothes and shoes,

and, the best part of all,

I have made you a hat out of bread.

Wasn't that something?

[ Laughs ] Let me get it!

But I want this hat!

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

-Papa! Oh, Papa, what's this? -Pinocchio! Pinocchio!

-Oh, what's this here? And this? -Pinocchio, will you stop that?

-And this? And this? And this? -Stop that, Pinocchio!

-Oh, oh, Papa! Papa's bed! -Where are you going? Oh, no!

Pinocchio, please! Pinocchio, hey!

-Oh, this is for jumping! -Don't jump. Give me my hair!

- Catch! -Be careful with that wig!

It's the only hair I've got!

-Pinocchio, get off that! -I'm higher than my papa!

Papa's chair. Papa's table.

Where's my papa? There's Papa!

Please, Pinocchio.

-A window. -Please be careful.

-[ Clattering ] -Whoops! Oh!

Oh, look at that!

Papa, it's amazing!

There's a whole other world out there!

I should have just made a hat rack.

Come back here, Pinocchio. Come back.

-[ Quacking ] -[ Laughing ]

Whoa!

[ Both yowling ]

Oh...

-Hey, who's making -- -What is that, a puppet?

What are you doing?

Oh!

Pinocchio!

-Pinocchio! -[ lndistinct conversations ]

Pino-- Pinocchio!

[ Horse whinnies ]

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

My wine!

-[ Laughs ] -[ Crowd murmuring ]

Oh!

[ Squawking ]

Unh!

Arrest that puppet!

[ Squawking ]

Unh-aah!

Stop, in the -- Unh!

VENDOR: Why is it always my peaches?!

[ Laughing ]

POLlCEMAN: Ha ha! There you are!

Now I got you! Oh!

[ Continues laughing ]

Ah, ah, ah, not so fast, you.

Who does this puppet belong to?

You're gonna have to pay for all this damage, my friend.

-Who owns this puppet? -Pinocchio!

I said, who owns this puppet?

[ Panting ] He's mine. He's mine.

-And so is this. -PlNOCCHlO: Papa! Papa!

You'll never believe the things I've been through!

-Silence, pip-squeak! -Pinocchio.

My boy.

Some father you are. This puppet is a public menace!

How can that be?

I worked hard to make a good and decent puppet.

Decent?!

He causes trouble at every turn.

And he's your responsibility.

But he was so quick, there was nothing I could do.

Enough! Be more careful.

Only a fool lets a puppet slip out from under his nose.

And now he's coming along with us.

Let's go. Aah!

Pinocchio!

My son, where are you going?

Wait!

Oh, no, you don't. You're not going anywhere.

You're coming with us.

You're gonna pay for all of this,

or you'll be spending a very long night in the poorhouse.

-March! -Pinocchio, how could you?

Look! A little bird!

I can see you! I can see you!

-[ Birds chirping ] -Oh, so many of you!

Oh, a squirrel!

Oh, what a wonderful world this is!

It's so good to be alive!

[ Exhales sharply ] Ah!

Well, now I can get nice and warm.

It's freezing. [ Laughs ]

I wonder where Papa is.

What a fantastic day I've been having.

And now I'm so hungry, I could eat the whole house.

Ooh, I wonder if there's a cookie jar anywhere.

-Pinocchio! -Who's there?

I'm Cricket, lover of wisdom, seeker of truth,

well-dressed insect-about-town.

No! A talking cricket?

Cricket, tell me where he hides the cookies. I'm starving.

Perhaps you should have thought of that before you ran away.

Next time, use that wooden head of yours.

Hunger is the least of the troubles

that befall naughty children.

-Huh? You talking to me? -Who else?

-Fool. -That's it.

Listen, Cricket, I'm leaving, because if I don't,

I'm gonna have to read books and study.

And there's one thing I don't want to do.

I don't want to study.

Books are vile. I want nothing to do with them.

Oh, wise choice.

If you don't study, you'll wind up a silly donkey.

Hee-haw! Hee-haw!

That's you, by the way.

Be quiet, will you?

Has anyone ever told you your voice is really annoying?

I can't listen to it.

It makes me nervous -- all that nagging of yours.

It's my job to nag.

And speaking of jobs...

Huh?! I wasn't -- jobs?!

Yes, isn't there any trade you find appealing?

Well, now that you mention it,

there is one job that I would like very, very much.

Ah, I'm as delighted as I am shocked.

And what job is that?

The job of eating, drinking, playing,

snoozing all day long,

and having a good time all the time -- Ha!

I apologize. You won't become a donkey.

You are one.

And you are a really old, boring cricket,

so just leave me alone.

Beware, Pinocchio.

Boys like you will always end up in a fireplace or in a barn.

Hee-haw!

So, boys like me end up in a fireplace or a barn, huh?

And where would you say...

that people like you end up?

Where, Pinocchio?

In a cricket cemetery!

[ Laughs ] Come here, Cricket!

-Come here, come here! -Over here.

-Come on, Cricket. -Missed!

-[ Both laugh ] -How do you like that, huh?

-You call that a swing? -I was just having a little fun.

-You missed. -Don't be afraid.

[ Laughs ] Where are you hiding, Cricket?

Up here.

Can I help you?

Huh? I can't hear you.

There's a bad echo from where you are.

Would you... Iike to come a little closer?

Closer?

Yes, well, for example...here.

This is probably the best spot for us to talk.

Okay, I'll bite.

What's not to trust about an empty-headed delinquent boy

holding a hammer?

Whoops.

Got you! Ha ha ha!

See how I tricked you?!

No more nagging out of you, you boring, little, annoying bug!

[ Gasps ]

Cricket, where are you?

Where -- [ Exhales sharply ]

[ Hammer clatters ]

Let's not play this game anymore.

I'm so tired and hungry and cold and hungry.

What a horrible place this is, and I just want to...

[ Sighs ]

CRlCKET: Well, the world is what you make of it.

Perhaps it won't seem quite so horrible

when your papa comes back in the morning.

[ Children laughing ]

-[ Gepetto shivering ] -Papa!

Papa, where have you been?

In the poorhouse because of you.

But I'll forgive you if you go to school

and use this book I bought for you.

Nice...

but where's your jacket?

Well, I sold it.

Why?

I was too hot in it, you see.

Papa...

Huh?

Oh, oh, oh, oh...

[ Laughing ] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

I'll remember this for as long as I live.

Now, my boy, off you go to school.

And don't forget, make me proud.

-I promise. -Okay.

-[ Chuckles ] Uh, Pinocchio? -Yes?

-Just a moment. -What?

[ Chuckles ]

Here's the hat I told you about.

-[ Gasps ] -It's made out of bread.

-No! -See?

There.

Today in school, I'm gonna learn how to read,

tomorrow, how to write, after that, to count,

-and then I'm done. -[ Light music playing ]

What's this music?

MAN: Right this way, sir.

Excuse me. Is that the schoolhouse?

No, the school's right over there.

What's this place here, then?

The sign over there -- read it.

Well, I'd love to read it, but today it just so happens

that I don't know how to read.

All right, genius, I'll read it.

"The Grand Puppet Theater."

-[ Laughter ] -I'm going to school.

No, wait, look, um, uh,

I'm not really very interested, but just in case I was,

uh, how much does it cost to get in?

It costs four cents.

Hey, how would you like to buy my shoes for four cents?

-They're nice ones. -No.

Uh...uh...uh...uh...

Or this brand-new reading book,

which my papa sold his jacket to buy me

in this freezing weather? Please?

No, you're gonna make me late for school.

Goodbye.

Hey, I'll take that book off your hands for four cents.

Oh, thank you.

MAN: Right this way, ladies and gentlemen.

Pulcinella!

Pulcinella!

PULClNELLA: I'm coming!

I'm coming.

Thank you.

Did you steal the salami?

-I never stole no salami! -Liar!

-Salami! Salami! -Liar! Liar! Thief! Thief!

MEN: In the name of the law, who's the thief?

It is him!

It is him!

-Oh, ho! -[ Drums play ]

-Thief! Thief! Thief! -Liar! Liar!

-Thief! -Liar! Liar!

-Thief! Thief! Thief! Thief! -Liar! Liar! Liar! Liar! Liar!

-Liar! Liar! Liar! -Thief! Thief!

-Silence! -Thief! Thief! Thief! Thief!

-[ Applause ] -Tell me, is it really so?

Is this a dream?

What is it that I see before me --

a puppet?

For once in his life, he's right!

That's the puppet with the chicken

that caused all the trouble in the market!

-Aah! -W-W-W-W-What's his name?

Hip-hip-hooray! It's Pinocchio!

Pinocchio!

Maestro, let's give Pinocchio a special welcome!

[ Light music plays, indistinct shouting, cheering ]

Yes, friends, you're right, it's me!

Brothers and sisters! Ha ha!

I'm coming!

[ Music and shouting continue ]

It's our puppet friend!

Pinocchio!

You're here!

[ Laughing ]

Bravo, Pinocchio!

[ Music and cheering continue ]

ALL: Whoa!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Whoa!

What on Earth is all this commotion?!

[ Music stops, puppets whimpering ]

And who is this intruder on the stage?

Oh...

Who is it that dares to barge into my theater

and disrupt my show?!

Uh, uh, please, your very-bigness,

you must believe it wasn't my fault.

-I was just -- -That's enough, now!

We'll settle this over lunch.

-[ Growls ] -[ Whimpering continues ]

My dear ladies and gentlemen,

today's performance will be repeated tomorrow.

[ Crowd shouting, booing ]

Roll in the carpet!

[ Puppets whimpering, groaning ]

[ Smacks lips ]

Ahh!

Harlequin! Pulcinella!

The water's boiling!

Bring me that puppet that's hanging over there.

Let's go! I'll eat him for lunch.

[ lndistinct murmuring ]

I'm hungry!

Is he going to eat me?

[ Sobs ]

I beg you, your excellency, your colossalness,

I don't like being eaten! I hate it!

Oh, Papa!

Oh, what will you do if I die?

I'm sure you'll die, too, Papa.

Ah-ah...

-choo! -[ Air thunders ]

[ lndistinct murmuring ]

Really, Pinocchio, this is your opportunity.

He only sneezes like that when he's emotional.

Yes, and?

You see, he's really just a big softy.

Whenever he hears a sad story,

he gets a bellyache and loses his appetite.

Just keep him sneezing --

find a way to really touch his heart.

-Fine, but how? -Go on, go on.

[ Clearing throat ]

So tell me more about your poor papa.

[ Sniffles ] Are both your parents still alive?

My papa is, and my mama -- I never knew my mama.

Tell me, is your father a rich man?

What is his profession?

He's a -- He's a professional poor man.

He's paid just enough never to have a penny in his pouch.

[ Sobbing ] Oh, great, magnificent, illustrious one,

I -- My papa's so poor,

-he never, ever eats. -Ooh!

Yesterday, he managed to fry his fake hair

because it looked like an egg.

What a wretched family.

Do you have any brothers, huh?

No -- Yes, one.

And how is he?

-Good. -No, not well.

Good, if he wasn't so -- so sick.

-[ Murmuring ] -Very bad.

Very sick.

-Very, very sick. -[ Sobbing ]

Oh, he's dead!

He's dead. Oh, I just remembered now.

-He died. -[ Continues sobbing ]

Mmm, mmm...

And then he died again -- that's twice!

I have a brother who keeps on dying!

[ Puppets sobbing ]

Ah-choo!

[ Air thunders ]

Ah...

-choo! -[ Air thunders ]

Ah-choo!

[ Air thunders ]

[ Wind whistling ]

Pinocchio... you've broken my heart.

Come over here and give me a kiss.

[ lndistinct murmuring ]

-Go! -Go on! It's okay.

[ lndistinct whispering ]

Go ahead!

It's okay.

[ Puppets murmuring ]

Ah...

Pinocchio...

the story of your family fills me with compassion.

Now I'm going to give you five pieces of gold.

Take them and give them to your father

with best regards from me and my theater.

[ Puppets murmuring ]

Five pieces -- thank you!

Yes, two, can you believe it? [ Laughs ]

Hey, good morning, Pinocchio.

Good morning, but how come you know my name?

Oh, we're just passing by your father's house.

He was there trembling in the cold without a jacket.

Poor guy.

Yeah, poor, poor.

Poor old papa. I'll go straight back home, then.

Anyway, from now on, he'll tremble no more.

-Uh, why not? -Why?

Because you are now looking at a rich gentleman.

[ Both laugh ]

Did you hear that? A rich gentleman.

Excuse me, gentlemen, but this is nothing to laugh about

when you consider that I have...

five beautiful pieces of real gold.

[ Both laughing ]

That was a good one!

Five pieces of gold!

[ Laughter continues ]

Five pieces of gold!

Did he say gold?!

-Yeah, he said gold. -Gold?

-He -- He -- He said gold. -Come on, knock him out!

No, no, no, no, w-wait, wait,

-not here, just hold on. -Quick, to the head!

No! Don't! Just --

-Wait, wait! -[ Clears throat ]

[ Laughs ] Mr. Pinocchio,

excuse us for not having introduced ourselves.

Uh, you see, I am the Fox, and this here's the Cat.

-Pleasure to meet you. -Mr. Pinocchio.

See here, the Cat and I have a fine reputation.

-We are refined gentlemen. -Refined.

-Uh-huh, I see, I see. -Refined.

And you yourself are said to be such a good puppet.

I was just wondering, what are you gonna do with all that gold?

Will you be keeping it all for yourself?

Yourself.

-Yourself. -Well, first of all,

I want to buy my father a brand-new jacket.

And then I want to buy a new schoolbook for me.

For me.

For me.

Yes, because I want to go to school, study very hard,

and get a really good job. See you later.

[ Both laugh ]

He's gonna get a really good job!

Oh, easy. Watch what you're doing there.

Ah, you know, you're the perfect puppet.

But if you were smart,

you could turn those gold coins into a thousand...

10,000...

-10 million! -10 million!

-[ Laughter continues ] -10 million!

10 million -- all for me?

How?

Oh, it's quite simple.

Instead of going home, just come along with us.

With us, with us.

With you to where?

To a land where all the farmers grow gold.

-Gold, gold. -No!

Yeah.

And what's the name of this place?

It's called Nincompoop Land.

Poo-poo Land.

Poo-poo Land.

In Nincompoop Land, there's a miraculous field

and it's called the Miracle Meadow.

Miracle Meadow. What a wonderful place.

You dig a hole, bury the coins, and half-hour later,

a tree pops up full of coins, you're a millionaire.

I love it!

Now, but don't tell anyone -- it's a secret, huh?

-Keep it to yourself. -Yourself. Yourself.

Come on, let's get started. Can't we go now?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, not yet.

There's plenty of time.

Uh, garcon?

Garcon, garcon...

Would you please show Mr. Pinocchio to his room?

And don't forget to wake us all up at, uh, midnight.

Right? [ Laughs ]

We'll meet you at the giant oak tree,

and, uh, don't forget to pay the check.

-Check. Check. -Huh?

This way.

Yes, let's go, huh?

Good night! [ Laughs ]

What wonderful people, huh?

If only there were more like them.

[ Laughing ] A nut. That's how big his brain is!

[ Laughing ] Come on, eat some nut. Hey!

-[ Screeches ] -Ah!

Who's there?

Huh?

CRlCKET: Pinocchio...

[ Gasps ] Who's there?

It's me, splinterhead, the cricket you tried to squash.

Ring a bell?

Cricket, you gave me a heart attack.

I thought you were dead.

Oh, boy, what do you want? It's so late.

Now, look, Pinocchio,

I'm trying to do you a favor, okay?

Get-rich-quick schemes never work. Go home.

I'm not going to go back.

It's very late.

I'm going on.

The night is so dark.

I'm going on.

There's danger ahead.

I'm going on!

Your unruly deeds will only return

to bite you in the bottom.

I've heard it all before. Good night, Cricket.

Good night, Pinocchio,

and may Heaven protect you from fog and foul assassins.

Huh, thank goodness I don't believe in assassins.

I never, ever have.

Not a chance. Assassins don't scare me.

-Aah! -FOX: Your money or your life!

-CAT: Your life. Your life. -Assassins! Aah!

-Let's chase him! -Help!

Hand over your money, or you've had it!

-Had it. -Get him!

Get him? Are you crazy? It's dark out there.

He didn't go there.

They're right behind me.

I need to lose them, or they're gonna catch me.

What's that?

-I'm so scared. -This way!

If I can get to that house, maybe I'll be safe.

Hey, is anyone home?

Is anyone there?!

Please, open the door! Hurry up!

Hello, can anyone hear me?! Wake up!

Get up, anyone!

[ Gasping ]

I can't believe it.

There's someone home after all.

Help me!

There's no one at home right now.

You're home. Please open the door.

I'm not here, either.

Then how can you be standing there in the window?

No, no, please don't go away.

Oh, beautiful lady with blue shining hair,

assassins are after me!

I told you I was right -- he's here!

-No, I was right! -Help!

-He's there! -Oh, have pity on a poor puppet.

Oh, lovely lady, help.

-Help! -Ha ha, we got you at last!

Now give us the gold, or you're finished!

Finished. Finished.

[ Grunting, struggling ]

The money -- now!

No, it's in my mouth.

-Open up your mouth! -Never!

We'll see about that.

[ Both grunting ]

-[ Whimpering ] -Now, little puppet...

Remember, puppet, there's always the possibility

of a second chance when life leaves you dangling.

[ Laughs ] See you in the morning!

In the morning. In the morning.

[ Laughter continues ]

[ Whimpering ]

Oh...oh, Papa.

My papa.

If only you were here.

What a shame. Such a beautiful puppet.

Yes, he was a beautiful puppet.

Good night, Madam Fairy.

Good night, Medoro.

[ Gasps ]

Madam Fairy, there is an old man in the house.

May I help you?

Medoro, you're looking at you.

It's a mirror.

Well, mirrors are not what they used to be anymore.

[ Chimes tinkling, mice squeaking ]

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Chirping continues ]

I am unable to find any symptoms of life in this puppet.

In my experience,

when a patient exhibits an absence of life,

it invariably indicates that he is, in a word, dead.

I must disagree.

Your diagnosis requires the presence of death.

Here we only have the absence of life.

Even if he is sick, which l doubt, it should be from guilt.

He broke his father's heart.

He's unruly, ungrateful,

unrepentant, and a first-class delinquent.

-That's not true! -No wonder his father suffers.

-My poor papa, oh! -lf he is alive, he is not dead.

I thank you for your medical opinion.

This is a clear indication that doctors are no longer needed.

You may go.

-Goodbye, Fairy. -Goodbye, Fairy.

This is the first case in my entire career...

This is the first time in my life

that I have seen a dead patient speak.

He's got a fever.

[ Door hinges squeak, door closes ]

Drink this.

Before you know it, you'll feel better.

Is it sweet or bitter?

It's bitter, but you'll feel better.

If it's bitter, I don't want it.

Take it. Be brave, child.

I don't like bad things. I don't approve of them.

Drink it up, and as soon as you're done,

-I'll give you a piece of candy -Hmm?

to take the bitterness away.

A-All right.

First I want the piece of candy.

Then probably I'll drink your nasty medicine.

Here you are.

Ahh! Delicious.

Oh, please don't! You can't make me.

I can't stand the smell of it!

It's not fair! No, no, no, oh!

-You will regret it, my child. -I won't drink it.

If you don't drink it, you'll die.

-I won't drink it. -You are very, very ill.

That's not important!

[ Wind whistling, chimes tinkling ]

[ Gasps ] What's that?!

We've come to take you away, Pinocchio.

To take me?! But I'm not even dead!

Not yet, but you soon will be

if you don't drink that medicine immediately.

I wanted to take it, but she told me I couldn't have it!

Fairy, give me that delicious medicine right now.

-Hmm? Hmm? -So be it.

This time we've made the trip for nothing.

I'm sure we'll have better luck next time.

[ Laughs ] I feel like a new puppet!

Drinking that medicine has made you feel better.

Better than ever.

Next time, I'll remember those rabbits.

Oh!

Oh, I've got to do something extremely important.

There's my hat.

Fairy, thank you for detangling me. Bye!

Pinocchio, wait a minute.

I was just wondering,

can you explain why they wanted to hang you?

They wanted the gold.

And may I ask what happened to the gold?

[ Coins rattle ]

Um...I lost it.

[ Creaking ]

[ Gasps ]

And where did you lose it?

Uh, in the woods by the road.

-Oh! -lf it's near the road,

we'll go back and look, and we'll find it in no time.

No! Now I remember. It's coming back to me.

Fairy, I didn't really lose the money.

No, no.

Well done, Pinocchio.

I swallowed it when I drank that disgusting medicine.

[ Gasps ]

[ Fairy laughs ]

But --

Why are you laughing?

It was the lie that you told.

How did you know that what I told you was a lie?

Because, my dear Pinocchio, there are two types of lies --

the ones that have short legs...

and those with a long nose.

Uh...and mine? Which kind is it?

[ Whimpering ]

[ Sobbing ] Oh, but, Fairy --

but, Fairy, have you seen what's happened to my nose?!

My nose is getting longer and longer and longer!

Everyone will laugh at me! I know they will!

How can I go out anywhere?

Look at my nose! Look at my nose!

I don't like it!

I don't want it! I don't want it!

The money, Fairy...

-I really didn't swallow it. -[Coins rattle ]

It's here in my hand.

Good boy, Pinocchio.

To tell a lie is always bad.

Don't ever do it again.

Oh!

[ Gasps ]

Oh, Fairy, my beautiful Fairy, I love you so much.

I love you, too, Pinocchio, always.

It's just that l, uh, wanted to buy a coat for my father,

'cause -- 'cause he's freezing.

T-Tell him to meet me here s-so I can surprise him.

Bye, Fairy.

Goodbye, Pinocchio. Come back soon.

I'll wait for you.

How did he manage it?

Manage it.

Maybe somebody found him and then cut him loose.

Cut loose? You think so?

-Yes. -Think so?

PlNOCCHlO: My friends!

-It's him! -It's him! Let's go! Let's go!

-No, just leave him to me. -Dearest friends! Ha ha!

Ah...

I have been looking all over for you.

Pinocchio, you kept us waiting for so long, huh?

-So long. Long. -I know.

It's a long story. You'll never believe it.

At midnight, I was attacked by assassins.

-No! Infamy! -lnfamy is right. Right!

And --

Don't tell me they took your money.

No, they didn't.

In fact, I still have all the coins right here.

[ Both chuckling ]

Hey, is there still time to get to the Miracle Meadow?

The Miracle Meadow!

You remember! The Miracle Meadow!

Let's go right now. Which way is it?

-Over there! -Over there!

-It's there? -No, there.

[ Purring ] Over there.

[ Laughs ] Here we are at last.

-Where? Where? -The Meadow of Miracles.

-Beautiful. -Beautiful.

Where are the money trees?

Oh, I forgot to tell you that they, uh, grow underground.

Uh, you need to dig a hole, fast.

Yes.

Yes. But where?

-There. -There.

Down there.

-There. -Here, right?

-Yes, yes. -[ Sighs ]

Okay.

[ Grunting ]

When -- When I'm rich,

I won't just buy a fancy new jacket for my papa.

I'll get one for the Blue Fairy, too.

-[ Both laughing ] -Or -- Or maybe a pretty dress

or a dozen of them.

Oh, you should see her. She's so beautiful and kind.

Best fairy I've ever met in my life.

Stop, stop, stop, you dug enough.

Yeah, just put the coins in and cover them up.

Yes, yes, here they are.

[ Both gasping ]

Ha ha!

There, I've put them in.

Should I water them? How long will it take?

-[ Bells tolling ] -Oh, about a half an hour.

Uh, why don't you, uh, stretch your legs?

See that town over there -- it's the town of Grabadimwit.

It's Dimwit. Dimwit.

Just take a little stroll, come back in a half an hour.

You're gonna find ching, ching,

-ching, ching, ching. -Ching, ching, ching, ching.

And it'll all belong to you!

-All yours. -It's your lucky day.

Goodbye!

Thank you!

Don't mention it. Don't mention it.

[ Birds chirping ]

Excuse me, Mr. Farmer, has half an hour gone by?

Ah, it's been longer than I can remember!

[ Gasps ] My goodness! What if I'm too late?!

[ Pinocchio grunting, Cricket laughing ]

[ Sighs ]

Cricket, can you kindly tell me what's so funny?

Quickly, I'm in a bad mood. What are you laughing at?!

[ Cricket coughs ]

While you were off on your walk, the Fox and the Cat

gathered up all of your precious gold coins

and just walked away.

The Fox and the Cat... took my --

But they're such wonderful people!

I can't believe it!

It's not true! No!

So that's why the money didn't grow?!

Rascals!

Thieves!

But I'll -- I'll tell on them!

There's got to be a judge in Grabadimwit.

I'll find the nastiest judge of all.

I know their names. I'll show them.

Poor deluded Pinocchio.

One is called "Cat" and the other "Fox."

One is called "Cat" and the other "Fox."

Two crooks -- my cricket will testify.

He was there, and he saw me plant the coins, leave,

and then the Cat and Fox take my money,

then they ran away, the bums!

So the poor tree didn't have a chance to grow any gold.

Is that it?

Yes. No!

Actually, at the Red Prawn lnn, that was daylight robbery, too,

because I only ate one nut,

and they charged me a whole gold coin.

A very expensive nut, I'd say.

With the powers vested in me by the noble king

of the grand territory of Grabadimwit,

we will grab this dimwit and put him in jail...

for five years!

-Silence, dimwit! -No! But I got robbed!

No!

In you go, dimwit.

[ Whimpers ] I -- What now?

-[ Door slams, keys jingling ] -Oh, serves me right!

I asked for it.

That nice little cricket warned me,

but I'm a stupid puppet, stubborn and pigheaded.

Oh!

From now on, I've made a decision to change my ways.

And I want to become the sort of boy who's good and honest,

well-behaved, does what he's told,

goes to school, and works hard.

-Nincompoop. -[ Gasps ]

Nincom-what?

They tamed you well, little puppet.

[ Chuckles ] What's your name?

Me? My name is Pinocchio.

So, how long you in for?

Oh, five years.

How long is five years?

It takes years.

How many?

Five.

Oh! Oh, sweet Fairy.

A-And you -- how -- how long are you in for?

I'm getting out today. This place is all yours.

I'll even leave you my reading book.

Are you unruly and disobedient?

Yes...I am.

They'll never tame me, my dear Pinocchio.

[ Clattering, keys jingling ]

I've got something to show you.

Yeah. What is it?

The other day, instead of going to school,

-do you know what I did? -No. What?

-I ran away from home. -And?

I went inside a sweetshop...

No!

...and helped myself to every single lollipop they had.

-No! -Yes!

Did you really lick every one?

I was just about to lick the first one,

and then I heard a policeman yell out to me,

"Put that tongue back, robber,

and hand over the 28 lollipops you have in your pocket."

And they took them away from me

and said they were gonna give them back to the shopkeeper.

But you know what I think?

I think they kept them.

But I'll tell you something.

They thought there were just 28 lollipops.

But I had 29!

[ Clattering ]

Let me see it.

Can you guess what flavor it is?

-No! -[ lnhales deeply ]

Ah, the flavor of paradise.

[ lnhales deeply ]

No!

Yes! It's tangerine!

Oh!

Listen.

Would you give me one little lick? Just one?

You lick here, me, there. You lick first.

Beautiful!

[ Both laugh ]

Hey, listen, but...

So now that you'll be going home,

your parents -- beautiful --

will they send you back to school?

Listen to me, Pinocchio.

Only one person tells me what to do.

And that person is Leonardo.

And who is this Leonardo?

Yours truly. Me.

That's you?

-Yes. -[ Lock rattles ]

[ Crunching ]

[ Door opens ]

MAN: Come on, Leonardo.

[ Door closes ]

Out you go, you hooligan.

I hope you learned your lesson, huh?

And get back to school!

Bye, Pinocchio!

See you in five years!

So long, Leonardo.

Here. This is for you.

What is it?

It's your dinner. Pear peels.

-[ Laughs ] -But --

But -- oh...

Pinocchio!

Pinocchio!

A, B, C, D, l, K.

Well, that's the first few.

And kangaroo, el-- el-- el-- el--

ele-le-leph--

elph-- ala--

Ah! What is that?

[ Fanfare plays ]

Unh! Ah! Oh!

[ lndistinct shouting in distance ]

Oh, Papa.

Oh, Fairy.

[ Bells tolling ]

[ Explosion ]

-What's that? -[ Shouting increases ]

MAN: Everyone out!

-What's happening? -You're free!

You're free! Off with you! [ Laughs ]

Hey, hey, hey!

Are my five years up already?

No, you've only done four months.

A son has been born to the king of Grabadimwit.

And to celebrate, there's going to be a great feast,

and he's freeing all of the criminals.

Oh! But I'm a crook, too!

[ Pounding ] Hey!

What did you say?

I said I'm a crook, too.

Ah, well, in that case...

please, after you.

Long live the king!

Long live the king of Grabadimwit!

So many terrible things happened to me.

I wonder if Papa's still waiting for me.

Will he be at the Fairy's?

Oh, I'm dying to hug him and cuddle him

and give him lots and lots and lots of kisses to my old papa.

And the Fairy --

Will she forgive me for behaving like a bad boy?

Oh, I do hope so. I do hope so.

Oh, I do hope so!

[ Bird caws ]

[ Animals calling ]

"He-- He-- Here lies...

[ Gasps ]

Here -- Here lies the -- the Fairy

with the long blue hair.

Brokenhearted, she died of grief

because of Pinocchio."

Pinocchio!

But...Pinocchio -- that's me.

[ Sobbing ] Oh, Fairy. Sweet Fairy.

Oh, why did you die?

Oh, Fairy, why didn't I die instead of you

when I'm so very bad and you're so very, very good?

Sweet Fairy. [ Smooches ]

Fairy, how do you become dead?

I want to be dead, too.

If you really loved me,

if you really loved your Pinocchio,

return alive like it was before.

Oh, why can't you be alive again?

I want you alive again and living.

[ Sobs ]

Dear Fairy, live again!

Be alive, Fairy!

Be alive!

[ Echoing ] Be alive, Fairy!

Alive!

Alive!

Oh...

[ Sobbing ]

Excuse me, young man. Can I ask you something?

Can't you see I'm crying? Oh...

Tell me, you wouldn't happen to know

a puppet named Pinocchio, would you?

Did you say "Pinocchio"?

Pinocchio. That's me.

Then I suppose you know Gepetto.

Do I know him? That's my poor father.

Is he looking for me?

Oh, please, tell me where he is.

For more than four months,

the poor man has been searching the world for you.

Is he far away from here?

-Lead me to him! -Follow me.

Oh, thank you!

Thank you, dear dove.

At last, I'm gonna see my papa again!

[ lndistinct shouting ]

Hey, what's happening?

There's this poor father who has set out in a little boat

on account of his wicked son, who can't be found anywhere.

And now he's going to look for him across the sea.

No! But --

Oh, but -- tha--

But that's --

That looks like... my dear old...

But that's my papa!

Papa! Papa!

Papa, it's me!

It's your only boy, Papa!

Papa, dear!

Pinocchio!

Ha! He sees me!

Come back to me, Papa!

Papa, I will never, ever leave you!

Come back to me, Papa!

Papa?

Papa!

Papa!

-[ Shouting continues ] -Papa!

I must save my papa!

[ Sea gulls crying ]

Papa?

Papa!

Oh...now what?

Oh, that was a close one.

Oh, boy.

I wonder where I am.

I wonder if I can find a town somewhere.

[ Whimpering ] Oh...

Iet's go have a look.

-[ lndistinct conversations ] -Oh, Fairy, my sweet Fairy.

-[ lndistinct conversations ] -Oh, Fairy, my sweet Fairy.

Now I've lost you and my father, too.

Where will I spend the night?

Oh, it would be a million times better

if I were dead, too.

Yes, I want to die!

Oh, and I'm so hungry.

Excuse me. Lady?

Would you give me some food if I carried your water?

Tell me, puppet,

what are you doing in this part of the world?

Oh, if only you knew how I got here.

I'm really sick of being a puppet.

I want to be like everybody else.

You can be, but you've got to earn it.

Really? How do I do that?

Nice, decent boys always obey their papas, whereas you --

I always misbehave.

And nice, decent boys always tell the truth.

And I always tell lies.

Nice boys are happy to go to school.

And I always --

School always gives me a tummyache.

It's a -- It's a pain in the --

pain in the --

But...wait a minute.

Good lady?

How do you, um, how do you know that?

[ Pinocchio gasps ]

Ah! My -- Oh --

It's you! Oh, ho ho ho...

Oh, Fairy...

Fairy!

Oh, don't make me cry anymore.

I nearly choked with grief

when I read on the tombstone "the Fairy lies here."

I know.

That's the reason why I'm able to forgive you.

The sincerity of your grief made me realize

that you have a good heart.

You may still have a chance.

Let's see if maybe you can mend your ways.

Oh, yes. Oh, yes, Fairy. Yes.

I want to change.

Are you ready to begin?

I promise I'll study, I'll work hard,

and do everything you tell me to.

Then I ask of you to please be a good boy

and to go to school every morning.

And you will go because you promised me.

Yes, I will.

[ Waves crashing, sea gulls crying ]

[ Gasps ] Oh, Fairy!

Your house from the forest!

[ Woman gasps ]

[ lndistinct conversations ]

Hey, guys, look what I found!

-What's that? -Silly, huh?

[ Laughter ]

Oh, my gosh, I can't believe it.

Hey, give it back. Come on. Give it back!

-[ Gasps ] Ohh! -Oh, it's my turn!

-[ lndistinct shouting ] -Amazing!

That's mine! Let me get in there!

My hat -- give it back!

I want my hat back!

Give it back! That's mine!

Mine! Aah! Give it back!

Take that, puppet!

[ Thud ]

-Oh... -Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Oh!

Help me. Help me.

I'm hurt.

I think...I'll die.

-Oh! Oh! -Eugenio?

Die?

What's wrong with you? Eugenio!

-He's dying. -He might be.

-Aah! -I'm sure of it.

-Dying? -Let's get out of here!

-Come on! -Quick! Quick!

Let's go!

-Run this way! Come on. -Aah!

Aah!

Eugenio!

Oh...

-[ Hoofbeats ] -Oh, Eugenio.

Oh, it wasn't me.

Open your eyes, Eugenio.

Eugenio!

Oh, answer me! Answer me! Answer me!

All right, what's happening here?

Oh! Officers...

um, me and my friends were having some fun before class,

and all of a sudden, he -- he felt sick.

"Sick" isn't the word.

The poor boy has a gash on his temple.

-Who did this?! -l...don't know.

And what was he struck with?

-Well, that book over there. -And who owns this book?

Uh...I do.

-That's all we need to know. -Oh! I knew it.

He seems to be seriously hurt.

Eugenio!

Ma'am, I want you to take this boy straight to the hospital.

And for you, puppet, you're going right to jail.

Oh! Oh!

Oh, my.

[ lndistinct conversations ]

Um, excuse me, brave and fearless officers,

would you mind putting your big coats over me?

I'm so embarrassed.

You should have thought about that before.

Excuse me, most brave and fearless officers,

can we go another way so I don't have to pass my house?

No.

March, and keep it moving!

[ Pinocchio gasps ]

-Wait! -[ Horse whinnies ]

Stop him!

Stop right there!

[ Panting, grunting ]

Come on!

This way, hurry! Hyah!

[ Panting ]

I'm free. I'm free!

-[ Metal rattles ] -Aah!

Aah! Aah! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Ah!

[ Man laughing ]

What do we have here, huh?

What are you doing on my property?

So you're the one who's been stealing my grapes.

No, really!

I'm a very good boy -- Aah!

I was on my way to school.

So you go to school in handcuffs.

What a fine school.

I think you escaped from prison, you devil.

I'm gonna leave that trap on your foot.

And I'm gonna teach you a lesson

you won't soon forget.

-[ Chains rattling ] -Aah! Hunh!

Let's go.

[ Laughs ] You're just what I've been looking for

since the death of my poor watchdog, Melampo.

You'll be a perfect replacement, yes.

But I've never been a watchdog before.

It's easy.

If you hear thieves, you just bark.

-But how? -Like that.

Bow-wow! Hyah!

Bow-how!

Come on. Louder. Louder!

Bow-how!

Louder!

Ouch! I'm so c-cold and scared.

Bow-how!

Oh, it serves me right.

It's sad but true.

Bow-how-how!

Bow-how-how.

[ Chime tinkles ]

Robbers. Bow-how!

Shh!

Melampo, it's me.

Bow-how!

Shh! What's wrong with you? Be a good dog.

Uh, excuse me, but I'm not a dog.

I'm a puppet.

A puppet? I'm not sure I believe you.

If you really are a puppet, answer me just one question.

Tell me, which are the best lollipops in the world?

I know. The answer is tangerine.

And why is that?

Because...because?

[ Pinocchio gasps ]

Because it's the flavor of paradise.

[ Gasps ]

Oh!

Leonardo!

Pinocchio!

You noble spirit.

Leonardo, I'm so happy to see you again.

What happened?

Oh, I can't begin to tell you.

But how did you get here?

Here.

You know what I can use these chickens for?

-No. -With eight chickens,

I can get two rides on a rocking horse.

Let's go.

Yes. No, wait.

Listen, stealing is not a nice thing,

so get me out of these, Leonardo,

and then we can both go to school tomorrow, huh?

I'm not interested, Pinocchio.

They tamed you, huh?

Don't worry, I'll free you.

But I'm not leaving here without taking four chickens!

-Oh! -[ Chickens squawking ]

FARMER: What's going on?! Thief!

-Now I've caught you! -Thank you, my friend.

-Run for it before you get hurt. -Wait till I get ahold of you!

-Go on, go! -Stop, thief!

-Thank you, noble spirit. -Stop, thief!

Stop, thief!

[ Chains rattling ]

Pinocchio?

[ Rattling continues ]

Pinocchio?

Yes?

Please, enter.

But...but it's late.

I shouldn't -- shouldn't bother you, hmm?

You're not bothering me at all. Come in.

No? I won't disturb you?

Very well.

Now, tell me, how did school go today?

Uh...well, we, uh...

we started with the alphabet.

Oh, and -- and, um, numbers and letters --

quite a few of those.

A, B, G, l, K,

elephant -- I can't remember them all now.

And, uh...and the teacher gave us a pop quiz,

and l, uh, got a... got a hundred.

What was your score?

Uh, well...well...

I think a hundred?

[ Whimpers ]

Maybe 95. I-I can't remember.

[ Sobs ]

Oh, Fairy, it's not true!

It's not true!

I wanted to go to school.

I really meant to go, but you can't imagine what happened!

So coming home, I thought,

"Now, how can I face my kind, sweet Fairy like this?

"Will she be angry with me for so many lies,

"so many lies?

Could she find it in her heart to forgive me?"

Then I asked myself,

"ls it possible that her heart is big enough?"

I thought, "No, no,"

but then, "Yes, of course it is.

I-It's as big as the world!"

I thought, "lf she forgives me,

she's the most good and beautiful fairy there ever was.

If she doesn't forgive me, she's not.

But in my opinion, she is.

So she will forgive me, that wonderful Fairy."

So I told myself,

"Go home and see what she has to say,"

because, since my first day, Fairy,

my life hasn't had one half-hour of peace --

not one half-hour.

And do you see what happens when you break your promises?

Yes.

I am bad. It's sad but true.

I deserve to be punished.

No, Pinocchio, I'm not going to punish you.

I see that now you've truly learned your lesson.

And so, your wish will now come true.

I'll grant your wish to become a real boy,

-[ Gasps ] -like the others.

-Oh... -Are you happy?

Fairy, it's all I've wanted my whole life.

So you're going to be good?

I've already become good, Fairy.

I've really learned my lesson this time.

I really have, Fairy.

I believe you, Pinocchio.

I can tell that you're sincere.

[ Sighing ] Oh...

[ Water flowing ]

-Leonardo! -Hmm?

Leonardo!

Pinocchio.

Leonardo, what are you doing here?

I've been looking everywhere for you.

Gosh, you won't believe me,

but my luck is about to change.

Tomorrow, I'll stop being a puppet and become a boy.

Just like you. A real boy.

Well, good for you.

What?

Leonardo, you're missing a great party.

The Fairy planned it.

You're the only one missing. Come on!

Impossible. I'm leaving tonight.

And I'm going far, far away.

Where are you going?

To paradise.

It's the best place in the world.

And what is it called?

It's called Funforeverland.

Beautiful name. Funforever.

What are you waiting for? Come on!

No.

No, I'm staying here with the Fairy.

You're crazy. What a mistake!

No, I promised her, and I --

Uh, tell me, what is it like?

I guess I could tell you a thing or two.

The first thing, it's a place where no one ever has to work.

There are no books, no teachers,

and no one goes to school on Sundays.

Oh, what a place, but -- but --

but nobody goes to school here on Sundays, either.

Yeah, but my point is,

in this place, a week is seven Sundays!

And listen to this.

All school holidays start on the first of January

and finish on the last day of December!

And that's a Sunday?

Exactly!

So what do you do all day in Funforeverland?

Just having fun doing whatever you like

from morning till night.

What do you say?

-ls it yes or no? -No!

I promised the Fairy I'd come home immediately.

I promised it to her face.

So, goodbye, then, for real. Have a good trip.

Bye, puppet.

Hmm...he must be joking.

A place with no school.

Hmm...

Ah...just one -- one last thing --

I mean, are you certain, absolutely certain,

that school holidays start on the first day of January?

Are you absolutely sure?

Absolutely sure.

[ Clock chiming ]

He'll be back.

I must go. I'm already late.

I've got to get back, Leonardo.

Bye. I have to leave.

Bye-bye. See you, Pinocchio.

Hey, it's here!

PlNOCCHlO: What?

It's the wagon that's coming for me.

No! For you?

Wonderful.

Listen. Leonardo, listen...

I'll just stay for a little while.

I'll just look at the wagon, and then I'll go.

Good evening, kiddies.

Will you stay, or would you care to join us?

? At night, you all are dreaming ?

? And I don't sleep a wink ?

? At night, you all are dreaming ?

? And I don't sleep... ?

[ Marching-band music plays ]

PlNOCCHlO: Get ready to pull the rope!

I want to win, so pull hard! Are you ready?

Come on, guys. You have to tug really hard.

Tug, tug! Here we go!

Here we go! Aah!

Pinocchio!

Pinocchio!

We won! We won!

Leonardo! Leonardo!

What'd I tell you?!

It's paradise!

Bye, Pinocchio!

Bye, Leonardo! Bye-bye!

[ Chirping ]

[ lndistinct conversations in distance ]

Pinocchio!

Pinocchio!

[ Music continues ]

My goodness!

It's a nightmare!

How on Earth am I going to find him?

Pinocchio! Pinocchio!

Here, dear friends! I'm here! Right up here!

Oh ho ho ho!

Oh ho ho ho! Ho ho ho!

I say, watch it! Look out below! Careful!

Pinocchio, where are you?!

-Agh! -No! Don't bite!

[ Sighing ] Ahh! Ahh.

Aah!

Hey, hey! My turn!

My turn to play Blind Man's Bluff! Ha ha!

CRlCKET: No spinning! No! No! No jumping!

No spinning! Aah!

[ Laughing ] Where are you?

I'm gonna get you! Ha ha ha!

Where are you?!

Here we go! Oh ha ha ha!

CRlCKET: Now listen, everyone!

Listen! This is important!

If you don't get out of here, you'll be turned into donkeys!

Now it's your turn!

Careful!

Whoa ha ha!

Oh! They don't pay me enough for this job!

[ Grunts ]

This is not so good.

Wait! Wait! Don't shoot!

Aaah!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh!

Mama!

[ Grunts ]

I fell down.

PlNOCCHlO: Leonardo...

-Why is everyone sleeping? -It's late.

Come on. What do you want to do now?

Sleep. I'm tired.

Sleep? I don't want to go to sleep.

I got a lot of things I still want to do!

I know.

Just a couple hours.

After that, we'll start again.

Oh, I can't wait till tomorrow, Leonardo!

-You're pleased, huh? -Yes, I love it!

To think, you didn't even want to come.

Oh, it's true, Leonardo.

I've never been so happy and excited,

and it's really all thanks to you.

There's no reason to thank me. I was happy to do it.

Ah, noble spirit.

Good night, my good friend.

Good night, my good friend.

[ Crickets chirping ]

[ Muffled shouting ]

Ah! They finally finished!

Aah!

I'll show you what I've got.

And I'm expecting a good price, huh?

As you can see, they are young and freshly made.

[ Laughs ] That one is ready.

I'll buy it.

How many do you want this year?

Make it 50. They're all strong ones

that can take a whipping, right?

-[ Whip cracking ] -Again and again!

There's a fine one!

Fine, indeed. How many do you want?

I'll take 50 or so like him.

But when can we take them away?

Won't take but a minute.

Tell me, do you have something just like the one,

you know, last year?

There are. There are.

I believe you'll find anything you need.

All these boys will become donkeys.

First, they grow ears, then a tail, then "Hee-haw! Hee-haw!"

Come here, you little beasts!

[ Men laugh ]

They're all good!

Look at his pretty little muzzle, eh?

[ Laughs ]

-Go! Go! Huh?! Go! -[ Whip cracking ]

[ Laughter ]

So, what did you boys think you would become, huh?

Doctors? Lawyers? Professors?

No!

Stupid donkeys, that's what!

Stupid donkeys!

[ Exhales deeply ]

Oh! Oh!

It's morning already! Oh, I can't wait to start again!

What a wonderful life! Ha ha!

Come on, Leonardo! Let's go!

[ Whimpering ]

[ Gasps ]

But -- But what are -- what are these?

These are donkey ears!

All big and hairy!

Look at them!

Oh! I don't want them!

Ow!

I don't want them!

I can't go out like this! Look!

[ Gasps ] Is Leonardo playing a trick on me?

It's all his fault!

I'm going...I'm going...

I'm going to go and tell him off!

[ Knock on door ]

Leonardo! It's me. Pinocchio.

LEONARDO: Come in. Come in.

Good morning, Leonardo. How are you?

Fine.

[ Birds chirping ]

Leonardo, would you mind telling me

why you've got a towel on your head?

Well...it's because the doctor ordered it.

I hurt my, uh...ankle.

Oh. Poor Leonardo.

What about you?

Huh? I-I hurt my, uh...

I've got a really sore elbow,

and, so, I guess we had the same doctor, huh?

Poor Pinocchio.

Yes, I know.

It's a shame.

But, then, Leonardo... would you do me a favor?

Of course. You just name it.

Would you show me your ears?

Why not?

But first I want to see yours, my old friend Pinocchio.

No.

Uh...Iet's make it a game.

I'll count to, um... Can you count?

-Certainly. -So you count to three.

On three, we take off the towels at the same time.

-Sounds good. -Good.

One...

and three!

Look at you! Leonardo!

My ears.

Look at your ears!

You got -- You got -- You got --

[ Laughing ] You got --

You got -- L-Leo, look. Look.

Look. Look what -- Leonardo, look. Look.

Aah!

What's this thing?

Oh.

Oh, no. Oh, my, oh, my, oh, my...

Oh, why me?

-Do I have one, too? -Not yet!

What do you mean, not yet?

-What am I gonna do? -Am I going to get one?

-I don't know! -Oh!

But I'm scared.

Yuck! Disgusting!

Oh, Pinocchio...ah!

What's happening to me?

Haw!

What's happening to me?! Haw!

-Leonardo! -What's happening to me?!

Oh, Pinocchio! Help me, Pinocchio!

-L-Leonardo?! -Aah! Hee!

Haw! Hee-haw!

[ Donkeys braying ]

Pinocchio!

Oh, Leonardo! You turned into a donkey!

-What's that? -Oh, no! I got a tail, too!

Oh, help me! I've got a tail!

-Oh, I've got a tail! -lt serves you right, Pinocchio.

Oh! Oh, Cricket!

Thank goodness you managed to find me.

Oh, if only l'd listened to the Fairy,

I'd be a real boy by now.

-But starting tomorrow -- -Enough.

There's no point in making promises now, Pinocchio.

You've lost your chance

to become a real boy like all the others.

[ Donkey brays ]

Oh, dear. What will happen to me now?

You will become a donkey, just like your friend there --

only good for pulling a cart.

[ Sobbing ]

-Oh, no! -It's too late for your tears.

Leonardo! Leonardo!

Goodbye, Pinocchio.

Oh, noble spirit!

Oh! Oh! No, no!

Please don't go, Cricket!

I promise -- I promise I'll work hard!

I'll do anything! I'll work hard! I'll work!

Don't leave me -- Haw!

[ Gasping ]

Leonardo, was that me?

It was me. Haw!

[ Drumroll ]

[ Drumroll ]

MAN: Esteemed auditors, ladyships,

and most utterific gents,

prepare to witness that quadruple wonder

who has boggled the eyes of the crowned heads

of principle principalities of the world.

That ducky of duckies... Pinocchio!

Fear not the animal beastiosity extruding from his savage gaze.

He's been well-schooled in the amiable ways of the whip.

"lncredible," you say?

"How could this fierce predator of the pampas be tamed?"

Behold!

[ Cheers and applause ]

What? Dead? No!

My friends, when is a donkey not a donkey?

When he's playing possum!

Ha ha ha!

But in all gravity, my dear publicans,

what you have seen yet is nothing.

This marvelous beast of burden has been taught to dance,

to leap through flaming rings of fire...

PlNOCCHlO: Oh, Fairy, my sweet Fairy.

[ Braying ]

[ Applause ]

-Quiet, you miserable pachyderm! -[ Laughter ]

I apologize to this augusted assemblage

for that display.

It only goes to demonstrate,

you can take the animal out of the wild,

but you cannot take the animal out of the animal!

Be that as it were, it shan't happen again.

-All right, Pinocchio. -[ Whip cracks ]

Up you go! Show the gentlemen

and the ladies of the evening --

show them what they paid their money for --

the ring of fire!

[ Light music plays ]

[ Panting ]

[ Cries ]

[ Laughter ]

A fall!

Yes, a truly magnificent fall!

Truly breath-defying, yes!

Why isn't he getting up?

What's wrong with his leg, huh?

Music, maestro!

In the words of the immortal Bard,

send in the clowns!

He's no good to us if he's limping.

Take him down to the ocean and throw him in.

Say farewell to Pinocchio, the donkey of donkeys!

[ Gunshots ]

Give him a hand, my friends, or even two!

MAN: The great Pinocchio, huh? Well, have a nice swim!

[ Laughs ]

Hee-haw!

-Hee-haw! Hee-haw! Hee-haw! -Hee-haw! Hee-haw! Hee-haw!

[ Chime tinkles ]

Oh! My sweet Fairy! You saved me!

Oh, you came to my rescue!

You saved me! Oh!

The trouble I've caused! I'm so sorry!

But now I promise you, Fairy,

from now on, I'm gonna be a really good boy --

Quick, Pinocchio! Hurry! Swim faster!

But I can't swim any faster! I'm swimming as fast as I can!

-Behind you! Behind you! -Almost there.

So you do care about me?!

Swim as fast as you can!

-Do you? -Pinocchio!

-Pinocchio! -You'll keep me safe forever!

Pinocchio, it's behind you!

Huh? Oh, no!

Huh? Oh, no!

Fairy!

Fairy! Oh, I've been swallowed!

I bet this monster fish is full of monster fish.

Who's there? Is anyone there?

No. I'm a fish!

I'm just a tuna -- glug, glug!

And you? What kind of fish are you? Glug, glug!

I'm not a fish at all.

I'm a poor old man.

My name's Gepetto.

-[ Gasps ] Gepetto! -I'm here because of my son...

My own papa! My papa!

...who I hope to never see again.

He's such a bad boy.

If he were here now, I'd give him such a thrashing.

That's what I would do.

-It's true. -Really?

Glug, glug! Is that so?

Has your son really been that bad? Glug, glug!

I gave him all my love,

just hoping to make a good boy out of him.

Oh, Papa...

I even had the bad luck

of going to jail for him, Mr. Tuna.

Oh, he's such a bad boy.

-Oh, it isn't true. I'm sorry. -Ungrateful, a liar...

...without heart, too.

So he is.

While I sit in here and rot,

I bet he's off enjoying himself...

having the time of his life,

who knows where.

So, you see now what a bad son I have, Mr. Tuna?

What? Mr. Tuna?

[ Sobs ]

Why is it you're crying, sir?

We tunas are very sensitive.

We cry at everything!

Anyway, for me, it's nearly finished, Mr. Tuna.

I'll -- I'll never get to see my son again.

Glug, glug!

But if you saw him right now -- glug, glug --

what would you do?

Well, what do you expect, Mr. Tuna?

I'm his papa. He's my little boy.

And in spite of everything, I love him.

If he were here now,

I'd -- I'd give him a great big hug

and kiss him again and again.

I would die of joy.

But it cannot be.

Papa!

-Pinocchio! -I'm not a tuna!

It's me. Pinocchio the puppet!

Your son!

-Your one and only son! -Pinocchio! Pinocchio!

-Papa! -Oh, it cannot be!

Pinocchio! Pinocchi--

[ Fish roaring ]

Oh! What's happening?!

What's happening?!

[ Roaring ]

[ Gepetto groaning ]

Watch it.

Whoa, papa. I'll help you. Don't worry.

Look, Papa! Papa, look!

Papa, let's go!

-No, I won't go! I can't swim! -Let's go! I'll take us home!

No, no, no! No, I'm too old!

-No, Pinocchio! -Let's go!

-Let's go, Papa! -No, I'm afraid! I won't go!

-Come on, Papa! -Hey! Give me my wig back!

-Get it yourself! -You'll never change, Pinocchio!

-Papa! -Pinocchio! Pinocchio!

Papa! Papa, where are you?!

-Help! -I've got your wig!

-Pinocchio, I can't swim! -Hold on, Papa!

-We're going home! -Oh, please, Pinocchio!

Help me!

[ Gepetto breathing heavily, groaning ]

I must have a glass of milk.

If I don't have one soon, I'll die.

Now, listen...

there's a farmer nearby named George.

He has a nice cow, and maybe he can help us.

See if you can do a bit of donkey work for him

and earn a glass of milk for me.

George, you said, Papa?

All right, then. Let me get you home.

Then I'll go find this farmer and do some work right away.

But you're no good at anything.

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Pinocchio grunting ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

Well done, Pinocchio.

So today I worked two extra hours, Papa,

and so Farmer George gave me a coin.

And with this coin, you know what I bought, Papa?

This lovely lollipop.

A lollipop?

Yes, but it's for tonight.

Uh, uh, tonight I'll have it for dinner.

I-I won't eat all of it tonight.

Half for tonight, half for my -- tomorrow night.

That's good.

I'll have three licks here tonight,

and tomorrow night, I'll have three licks on that side.

-Want to see? -Yes.

One...

two...

three.

Three.

Wonderful.

Will you look at these?

We have the best carrots and cabbages on the market.

Good job, Pinocchio. Only two hours to go.

No, Mr. Farmer George,

I want to keep working until dark

so I can earn an extra glass of milk for my father.

He thinks he's only getting one, you see,

but I'll surprise him, huh?

Good boy. You sure are a hard worker.

Not even my donkey works that hard.

What? You have a donkey?

Yes, but he's sick now.

I'm afraid I made him work way too hard.

Now he's all worn out, poor thing.

These carrots are amazing! They're sweet as candy.

-[ Laughs ] -Okay, Pinocchio.

I got to go. Come on, Cinderella, let's go.

Giddyup.

Come on, come on. Let's go.

[ Sighs ]

You'd like another cup, wouldn't you, Papa?

Of course it would be nice to have another one,

but I guess it'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Yeah.

Papa...

Huh?

[ Gasps ]

Pinocchio!

[ Grunting ]

[ Donkey brays ]

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Donkey braying ]

[ Quacking ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

[ Whimpers ]

What a handsome donkey you are.

How are you...huh?

Are you sick, donkey?

Oh, well, cheer up. Cheer up.

I'm so sorry you're sick.

You're such a lovely donkey.

You're a beauty.

But...donkey?

But...

That's strange.

But l...

You look familiar to me.

I have the feeling that I know you.

LEONARDO: Pinocchio...

[ Gasps ]

Oh! Oh!

Noble spirit!

Noble spirit!

Is that you?

[ Sobbing ] It is you.

I'll help you.

It's you, Leonardo! It's you!

You're Leonardo!

Look who's here.

Leonardo! Leonardo!

Leonardo...

I'm so glad to see you again, my friend.

What's wrong with you?

Hey, Leonardo...Iook.

Leonardo...Iook what I've got.

It's tangerine.

It's tangerine!

Leonardo...it's tangerine.

Here.

[ Gasps ]

The flavor of paradise.

Uh-huh.

Have some more.

[ Sighing ] Oh...

Leonardo...

Leonardo... it's tangerine, Leonardo.

Tangerine.

Please.

FARMER GEORGE: Did he die, Pinocchio?

Huh?

Why are you crying over my donkey?

Uh...the donkey was a friend of mine.

He was my best friend in school.

[ Chuckling ] That must be some great school...

where a donkey becomes your best friend.

Yes.

What was your teacher, a rooster?

[ Laughs ] Come on. It's work time, right?

Yes, sir. [ Sniffles ]

[ Sighs ] Very good. Very good.

I'm starting to feel so much better today.

But, Pinocchio, are you feeling okay?

You look tired, you know?

What? Tired?

Papa, no. No, no.

I'm a strong puppet.

You made me very well, Papa.

I'll sleep later.

Now I want to finish weaving those baskets

so I can sell them and get some money,

Thank you. Well done, Pinocchio.

I could really use a beautiful, new jacket

that will keep me nice and warm.

Pinocchio?

-What's going on? -Huh? Huh?

What, are you falling asleep?

I thought you were going to finish weaving those baskets.

I mean, yes. Yes, yes. I'm on my way.

I'll do them outside so I won't keep you up.

Thank you.

I'll go...the milk... I...

-You drank it all, didn't you? -No, no, no, no, no.

-All of it. -Wonderful.

Good night.

Bye.

Good.

Very good.

[ Door opens ]

Very good.

[ Crickets chirping ]

[ Crickets chirping ]

[ Chimes tinkling ]

[ Mice squeaking ]

Fairy!

Fairy...

Oh.

Well done, Pinocchio.

As you have such a kind heart,

you deserve praise and a lot of joy.

You have made it.

Oh, Fairy, the wonderful things I've learned from you.

I'll never forget them. Never, ever!

If you continue down this road, you'll know great happiness.

Bye, Pinocchio.

Goodbye, Fairy.

So long.

Good night, Mr. Pinocchio.

Oh, bye! Bye, Medoro! Goodbye!

Goodbye to you, you naughty boy!

Oh, Cricket, are you here, too?

-Are you going? -I'm afraid so.

But I'll stay if you want.

No! No, no.

Uh, uh, uh, uh, l-I w-was just asking.

I-I'm sure you're r-really busy. Goodbye!

Goodbye, Pinocchio.

Move, little ones!

[ Chimes tinkling, mice squeaking ]

Whoa!

Medoro, it isn't happening again?

Hmm?

This is the last time I'm doing this.

Tomorrow you're coming with me,

and we'll buy you some glasses.

[ Chime tinkles ]

[ Birds chirping ]

FAlRY: Though he was such a beautiful puppet.

[ Chimes tinkling, mice squeaking ]

Papa?!

Papa --

Whoa, Papa!

-[ Chuckling ] -Papa!

Do you see, huh?

-And how about this? -But -- What?

-Go on. Touch it. -Yes? Yeah?

-Pull it! -Hey, but --

It's real!

But, Papa, Papa, what's going on?

Why is everything different all of a sudden?

This is all because of you, Pinocchio.

-Because of me, Papa? -Yes.

Because when naughty children change and become good,

they have the power to remake everything around them

with joy, serenity.

As you can see, right?

And the puppet. Where's it hiding?

Oh, he's over there. See?

Oh...

How funny I was when I was a puppet.

And how happy I am that I've finally become a real boy, Papa.

-Pinocchio? -Yes?

Come here.

There.

-What? -Your books.

Go to school and make me proud.

Thanks. So long, Papa.

Bye, Pinocchio.

Goodbye, Pinocchio.

[ lndistinct conversations ]

Good morning.

Come in, Pinocchio.
