Once upon a time,
in a little village in Italy there lived a carpenter named Geppetto.
Although he loved children, the old man had no child of his own.
...And so...
I'm done!
Now I ought to name you.
Pinocchio! Your name is Pinocchio!
Hello, old man! Thank you so much for making me!
It just spoke!
When the wooden doll spoke, Geppetto was surprised - - and pleased
Too - too snug a hag!
My son's a cute one!
Old Geppetto was over joyed.
Indeed, the two of them were so happy, that night they could hardly get to sleep.
Play carefully, son!
Pinocchio frolicked. About he looks truly happy.
One night, as Pinocchio lay sleeping, a cricket dropped by for a visit.
If you want to be a real boy, you have to go to school and study!
To school? Study?
Old man, I want to go to school!
Oh! Well, good for you. Pinocchio!
Old Geppetto was very poor. He had no money.
But he was a doting old man.
and for Pinocchio's sake he sold his coat to help raise enough money.
Here's money for your studies.
Yes, old man, I'm off! It's off to school I go!
On his way to school, Pinocchio heard something that sounded like fun.
Come one, come all, to the world's best marionette show!
Come one, come all ! Thank you!
Thus Pinocchio spent his precious money.
Come one, come all !
Oh, no! Look what a mess you've made!
The Leader of the Marionette Company was simply furious.
But then he heard that Pinocchio had spent the money intended for his schooling.
The Leader was moved to tears, and forgave him.
My regards to old Geppetto!
The Leader had given him five gold coins!
Looks like you're having fun.
Yes, I have five gold coins.
There's a way to make them multiply, you know.
Really?
Really and truly.
If you plant your coins in this hole, a money tree will grow.
with plenty of coins for the plucking.
That's it, right?
But to make it grow faster, water it.
Just so.
I'll go draw some water.
Thus was Pinocchio tricked, and his money stolen.
You were too quick to believe your money could multiply.
As long as we get it back.
Pinocchio went in pursuit of the Fox and the Cat,
to try to recover his money.
But the Fox and the Cat got the better of him, and tied him up.
why have you been tied up in such a place?
Pinocchio was embarrassed.
At the same time, he also wanted her help. So he lied.
When he did...
Did you really want to go to school?
Every time Pinocchio lied, his nose grew longer!
If you want to become a real child, you mustn't tell lies.
I'm sorry, I'll be a good boy from now on, I won't tell lies.
From now on, you must do what the old man tells you.
Yes.
What a relief!
Pinocchio wanted to become a person so much, he went to school every single day.
One day...
in Toyland you can play all day long.
What should I do? It would be fun to play all the time.
No! I'm going to study!
I'll go by myself!
Wait! I'm coming too!
Pinocchio couldn't stay put after all. He went out to play.
Pinocchio was having so much fun, he forgot all about the old man, the goddess, and school,
He just played.
But Toyland had a dark side.
Children who played all day long suddenly turned into an ass!
When Pinocchio did not return home.
Geppetto grew worried, and decided to go out and look for him.
Pinocchio had been sold to the circus!
You've been neglecting your studies.
Very bad. From now on, you'll learn with the aid of this whip!
Pinocchio's legs were injured.
No matter how hard he was whipped, his legs hurt so much he couldn't perform.
We can't afford to keep a broken-down ass! You're fish - bait! Huh!
And he was pushed into the sea.
Ahoy! Help!
Help, help!
Pinocchio was swallowed up by a gigantic shark!
Pinocchio wept - - and something strange happened!
I've got my body back! Yay for me!
Is somebody there? If there is, answer me!
Old man?
That voice! Pinocchio?!
Gepetto had searched and searched, and when he searched the sea,
the giant shark had swallowed him, too!
But fanciest us meeting, trapped in the stomach of a shark!
It's okay! I have an idea!
Pinocchio's bitter experiences had made him clever.
If we make the shark sneeze, it will sneeze us out!
Very clever!
One, two, one, two!
AH-CHOO!
The plan worked.
Old man, I know I've been a bad boy.
But I'll be a good boy from now on, I'm sorry!
Pinocchio sincerely regretted his past behavior. And when he did...
