A wooden puppet, Pinocchio, is brought to life by the Blue Fairy with the promise that he can become a real boy if he proves himself worthy. Pinocchio is led astray by the wicked Honest John and his companion Gideon who turns him over to an evil puppeteer Stromboli. Pinocchio is sent to Pleasure Island where wicked boys are turned into donkeys, but he escapes with the aid of his friend and conscience Jiminy Cricket, and eventually redeems himself by saving his father Geppetto. The Blue Fairy rewards Pinocchio by turning him into a real boy.
