Walt Disney's World On Ice Starring Pinocchio

Walt Disney's World On Ice Starring Pinocchio is a Disney On Ice show that ran from 1987 to 1992.

## Show Summary

### Act 1

The show starts with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, and Daisy on a trip to Italy to celebrate the Italian Harvest. During the visit, Mickey recalls a famous toy shop.

In the shop, Geppetto is making a new wooden marionette doll, he names it Pinocchio. He notices a wishing star and wishes the doll to life. The wish is granted by the beautiful Blue Fairy who appoints Jiminy Cricket to be his conscience. Jiminy teaches Pinocchio about temptation and if he's ever in trouble, he can give him a little whistle. Geppetto awakens and notices his little marionette toy has gained life. At the start of the day, Geppetto sends Pinocchio to school. Honest John and Gideon enter the scene and take notice of Pinocchio, who is walking to school and get him to perform at Stromboli's festival.

At Stromboli's festival, Stromboli notices that Pinocchio is the perfect headlining act for it. Pinocchio then performs I've Got No Strings, but then trips over on his feet and makes a mess of the festival. A furious Stromboli calls Intermission and calls for the house lights to turn on.

### Act 2

The second act starts with Pinocchio lying about the incident to the Blue Fairy and Jiminy Cricket, his nose grows, and learns a lesson about lying. When Pinocchio apologizes, she forgives him and turns his nose back to normal. Honest John and Gideon return to the scene this time to bribe Pinocchio to head to Pleasure Island. Pinocchio heads to Pleasure Island where a plethora of little boys do naughty things. Jiminy tries to search for Pinocchio at the fairground, where he is playing pool with Lampwick. When Pinocchio is locked up, he learns that the boys were turning into donkeys. But he brakes free and runs away.

When Pinocchio learns that his father is inside the whale, he goes into the ocean to rescue him. While he is looking for his father, he meets some fishes and seahorses. Monstro the Whale swallows Pinocchio so he can reunite with his father. Pinocchio uses the duck feather to tickle the whale which made him sneeze and out they go. But unfortunately, Geppetto did not make it. Pinocchio then wishes for him to come back to life and the Blue Fairy grants his wish by proving him to be loyal, unselfish, and trustworthy. She recovers Geppetto while Pinocchio becomes a real boy as Geppetto and his son embrace. The Blue Fairy then continues the celebration by bringing the toys in the workshop to life and bringing Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Pluto, and Goofy back to the stage, celebrating wishes come true.
