The School Boys are an all-male group and they are the main residents in the village where Pinocchio comes from. Their clothes, age and personalities vary according to every boy in the group. The most recognizable of the boys are Paul, Freddy, Billy, George, Jack, Larry, Johnny and Alex, including Pinocchio and Candlewick. Billy, a short, red headed kid, is the boss of the gang. Despite this, Candlewick is the real boss, because of his mischief and his reputation.

Role in the movie:

The School Boys are at first, background characters, during a school session. Later, Candlewick, Paul and George insult **Pinocchio**, near a bridge. Then, Billy and his gang show up and tease Candlewick back. After this scene, the boys are never seen again, but boys like Pinocchio, Candlewick, Paul and George are seen in the "Land of Toys".

In Pinocchio and Friends:

Billy and his gang return in the series, as supporting characters. The boys care more about themselves and having fun.

Billy, their leader, is a red headed boy, who is bossy and likes being in power and he can sometimes mock everyone who opposes him. However, Candlewick is the real boss. Billy, is often accompanied by a wimp named Freddy and the duo’s characterization, is similar to Pinky and the Brain, with Billy being short and smart and Freddy being tall and silly.

The boys, often organize parties in the village and sometimes hijack cars, do pranks and steal candy. At one point, the boys have to face Darla and the Girlz, who tries to recruit Jenny into her gang. The boys can sometimes accompany the lead and his friends, through different adventures and challenges. Their biggest threat is Vrakator and his minions.

When the Jenny and Candlewick leave for a short time, Pinocchio is placed in charge of the boys. Drama Boy and his gang, attack the village and take Billy and his boys, hostages. After Jenny and Candlewick return, the boys get the chance to escape and defeat Drama Boy. A few years after the defeat of Vrakator, in celebratation of Candlewick and Jenny's wedding, they are invited by the townspeople of Tremorton. 60 years into the future, it's implied that the boys went on to start their own families, but still want to hang out in the village with Pinocchio and Candlewick and relieve the good old boyish lifestyle.

## Trivia

* The boys were originally nameless (except Candlewick and Pinocchio), but they were later given names by Michael.
* The name of the character Billy, is a reference to the real-life criminal Billy the Kid
* Billy also speaks with an accent reminiscent of a 1920's Mafioso, given his personality and the fact that the series takes place in 1890's Italy.
