Pinocchio (Disney)

Pinocchio is the titular main protagonist from the Pinocchio series.
== Charactah Account ==
Pinocchio is a wooden puppet created by the kindly woodcarver Geppetto. As per Geppetto's wish to have a son, Pinocchio was brought to life by the Blue Fairy. With Jiminy Cricket as his conscience, Pinocchio must prove himself brave, truthful, and unselfish, in order to fulfill his dream of becoming a real boy.
Once he is given life by the Blue Fairy, Pinocchio acts his age; he is very whimsical, childlike, and impressionable. Because of his youthful ignorance, he can be seen as rather mischievous, pretty gullible, and over-trusting, which often lands himself into trouble, albeit unintentionally. This is seen several times throughout the film, and the trait, unfortunately, makes Pinocchio an easy pawn in the schemes or motivations of various antagonists and deceivers and even was once deceived into not going to school.
Even so, as the film progresses, Pinocchio notably learns from experiences and takes them into account; eventually becoming selfless, sensible, brave, and obtaining impressive leadership qualities and even learns to not lie and how to tell the truth later in the film. This is finally put into the forefront once the film nears its climax, as Pinocchio is faced with the task of rescuing his father from the jaws of the deadly whale, Monstro, which he proceeds in carrying out by entirely using his own intelligence and craft. Pinocchio's daring decision to risk his life for his loved ones ultimately grants him his wish of becoming a real boy.

== Trivia ==
* In the original novel, Pinocchio is not brought to life by the Blue Fairy: it's his own wood to be already magical and alive, even if by unknown reasons.
* Pinocchio's name means "Pine-Eye" in Italian. This means that he is definitely made of pine wood, and the Blue Fairy also called him "little puppet made of pine" before bringing him to life. In the book, however, his wood type is never revealed and Geppetto named him after a family he once knew.
** "Pino" is also an abbreviation for Giuseppino, the diminutive for Giuseppe (the Italian form of Joseph).
* Strangely, Pinocchio appears as one of the heroes of the storybook in Disney's Villains' Revenge, despite the fact that none of the villains from the film appear in the game; Jiminy and the Blue Fairy, however, have a central role in the game.
* For the revised versions of the You and Your series of shorts, Pinocchio was portrayed by a real-life boy, Elijah Wood; he appeared only in the live action segments of the new versions which were filmed in the 1990s.
* Pinocchio dying and then being brought back to life is the first instance of the Disney Death, a cliché/trope of Disney films where it appears a major protagonist appears to be killed, but is then revived or revealed to have never been dead.
* Ted Sears, Jackie Cooper, Tommy Bond, Scotty Beckett, Terry Kilburn, Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer, Jerry Tucker, Tommy Bupp, and Freddie Bartholomew were all considered to voice Pinocchio.
* To promote the TV movie Geppetto, Seth Adkins appeared in character on The Drew Carey Show in the episode entitled "What's Wrong with This Episode III".
* The people at Pickwick Publications created a two-part musical story called "The Story of Pinocchio. In this two-part story, Pinocchio sells his coat and is left out in the freezing cold. The Blue Fairy takes him in and calls Dr. Crow and Dr. Owl for him (The puppet is quite sick, I think/He's hovering right on the Brink./But if he's not sick as hell,/l tell you that he's very well!" says Dr. Crow). Chirpy Cricket then speaks last ("Please don't listen to those two,/Chirpy Cricket knows what to do./It's just that he's not very smart,/ And his papa's home with a broken heart!"). In Part Two, while looking for his father, Pinocchio goes to The Land of Boobies, where he turns into a donkey. A dip in the sea returns him to normal, and he's swallowed by a whale, in the belly of which he finds his father ("I'm here, my father, gonna rescue you,/Back to our home l'm taking you./We'll build a raft and sail/Right outta this great big whale!") They do manage to escape, and the next day Pinocchio wakes to discover he's now a real live boy. As the ending of the story would suggest, it's an unofficial adaptation of the film; the person who played Pinocchio is unknown.
* In the original novel, Pinocchio actually meets the Tuna Fish inside the "Great Fish."
* There's a Pinocchio Little Golden Book unconnected with the film.
* A live production of Pinocchio aired in 1958, with Mickey Rooney in the title role. He's dressed and made up to look like the Disney version of Pinocchio.
