Pinocchio

The series is based on Carlo Collodi’s story of the world’s most famous puppet, which was published in 1833 and became a classic of children’s literature.

Carved out of a piece of wood by old Gepetto, the cheeky puppet Pinocchio soon starts to lead a life of his own, and together with Gina, the clever yet cautious duckling, Pinocchio stumbles from one adventure to the next. Though more than anything else he wants to become a real boy of flesh and blood, he is all too easily led astray. Along the way he meets the Fox and the Cat, who are constantly devising new ways to lure the puppet off the right path. His buddy Gina and the Good Fairy have their hands full trying to prevent the worst from happening.
