## Plot

Twilight Sparkle opens the movie singing "When You Wish Upon A Star" as she sits on a bookshelf, on which various literary classics, and Sunnocchio can be found as one of them, and given a place of prominence. After the song ends, Twilight greets the audience and acknowledges that many may not believe that a wish, as the song states, may come true, and, as proof of the message, decides to tell the story of Sunnocchio. She slides down the shelf to the book and opens it, beginning her story in a peaceful village at night, which Twilight states she was passing through. At this point, the viewer enters the story Twilight is telling through an illustration in the book.

The only building from which light seems to emanate is Marianne's workshop. Twilight hops over to the open window and peers in to see a warm fire in a room filled with beautifully carved toys, clocks, music boxes, and puppets. She enters the room and warms herself by the fire. She then notices a lifeless marionette puppet, sitting on a shelf. As she is admiring the puppet, she hears someone coming. Crawling up the marionette's strings to hide on a high shelf, she sees Marianne coming down the stairs with Unikitty to finish painting the puppet. Marianne greets Pikachu, who sits nearby, and carefully paints eyebrows and a smile on the puppet's face. Having completed the marionette she names it "Sunnocchio" (combination of two names: "Sunny" which refers to her long yellow hair and "Pinocchio" which literally means "Little Wooden Head") and tests it out by walking it around the workshop, to the tune of Little Wooden Head which is played by one of the music boxes. The bells of the clocks that cover the walls of the workshop indicate that it is now nine o'clock, and Marianne announces that it is time for bed. After she, Unikitty and Pikachu have bidden each other goodnight, the woodcutter gets into bed, to notice a Wishing Star through the window. She wishes that Sunny (Sunnocchio's nickname) would become a real girl, before falling asleep.

The wishing star glows brighter, and gets closer to the window; eventually, reaching the workshop, it transforms into the Blue Wizard named Jack, who is about to make a fateful spell out of Marianne's wish. He approaches Sunny and brings the puppet to life with a tap of his staff, and her strings vanish without a trace. Sunny is delighted and surprised at her ability to move and talk. Jack informs her, however, that she is not a real girl yet, and must prove herself brave, truthful, and unselfish in order to become one and learn the difference between right and wrong. After Twilight hops in to explain to Sunny, Jack decides to dub the alicorn Sunny's conscience and leaves, telling Sunny to always let her conscience be her guide.

Twilight tries to explain the concept of right and wrong, and, though she is largely unsuccessful, Sunny tells her that she wants "to do right". Twilight then sings "Give A Little Whistle", and Sunny joins in, falling into a pile of toys by accident. This wakes Marianne, who cautiously searches the room. On finding Sunny moving and talking, she first thinks she is dreaming but is eventually convinced, and delighted, that her 'daughter' is alive. Winding the music boxes, Marianne, Sunny, Unikitty, and Pikachu celebrate. Sunny is distracted by a candle and, not knowing what it is, sets her finger on fire; Marianne panics and extinguishes the wooden girl's finger in bowl of water. She decides that they should go to sleep before anything else happens.

The next morning, the village is awake. The boys and girls hurry to school, and Sunny excitedly follows them, but is approached by a two girls dressed up like fox and a cat, who, knowing the value of a moving puppet without strings, "befriend" her, intending to sell her. The fox girl introduces himself as Honest Volpina and tells Sunny that she is just the type to become an actress. She and her partner Selina (the cat girl) lead her through the streets, while Volpina sings "Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee (An Actress' Life For Me)". Twilight, meanwhile, is "late on her first day", and tries to tell Sunny not to give in to temptation, but is ignored, and Sunny accompanies the girls to "be an actress" while Twilight desperately runs after them.

**Volpina takes Sunny** to Stromboli's Caravan, where puppet master Stromboli buys the wooden boy and makes him his star attraction. That evening, Jiminy watches from a lamp post as Pinocchio performs "I've Got No Strings" for the audience, and is met with enthusiastic applause as onlookers throw money onto the stage, much to Stromboli's delight and Jiminy's surprise. Thinking that he was wrong in trying to stop Pinocchio, Jiminy decides to let the living puppet continue without him. Geppetto, meanwhile, is worried that Pinocchio has not returned from school, and leaves the workshop to look for him. In Stromboli's caravan, after the show, the puppet master congratulates Pinocchio for making him so much money and tells him that he will become a star. Delighted, Pinocchio tries to go home to tell Geppetto and promises to be back in the morning, but is stopped by Stromboli, who grabs him and throws him into a wooden birdcage as he declares that this will be his home. He tells the boy that he will keep him there, taking him out only to put on shows as they tour the world and make money for him. And when Pinocchio is too old to entertain audiences, Stromboli will use him for firewood. After silencing Pinocchio’s request for his freedom, Stromboli leaves the carriage and slams the door, cackling. The caravan begins to move, and Pinocchio weeps as he tries to call out to his friend.

Jiminy is outside in the rain, watching the caravan pass. He decides to wish Pinocchio good luck and say goodbye to him and is surprised to find Pinocchio locked up. He tries to unlock the cage with his umbrella, but to no avail. He stays with Pinocchio as the two weep over their predicament. Geppetto passes the caravan, but his calls for Pinocchio are not heard over the rain and thunder. When all hope seems lost after Pinocchio has realized his mistake, the Blue Fairy appears in the caravan. She asks why Pinocchio did not go to school; the wooden boy lies, hiding his shame and telling her that he and Jiminy were captured by monsters. His nose becomes longer with each lie he tells until it becomes a tree limb, complete with leaves and a bird's nest. The Blue Fairy tells Pinocchio that a lie keeps growing "until it's as plain as the nose on your face" after she informs Pinocchio that he isn't telling the truth. Pinocchio promises to never lie again as Jiminy tells the Blue Fairy to give Pinocchio another chance, and his nose returns to its normal size. The Fairy frees Pinocchio from the cage and vanishes, saying that this is the last time she can help him. Jiminy and Pinocchio sneak out of the caravan as it is moving, leaving Stromboli unnoticed.

Meanwhile, the fox and cat are celebrating at the Red Lobster Inn. Seated opposite them is the Coachman, who listens to their story and decides to catch their attention with a huge bag of money, which he says can be theirs if they bring "stupid little boys" to the crossroads for him to take to Pleasure Island. Though Foulfellow is at first terrified of getting caught, the Coachman assures him that none of the boys ever come back "as boys." As soon as they leave the tavern, desperate to find anyone in the middle of the night, the fox and cat find Pinocchio racing Jiminy Cricket home while Pinocchio is going home to begin a fresh start tomorrow. Foulfellow and Gideon pretended to be doctors, stating that he is "allergic" and must go to Pleasure Island to get better. They carry him to the crossroads with Jiminy once again in hot pursuit. When on the Coachman's Stagecoach, Pinocchio meets a bratty kid named Lampwick, who tells him that Pleasure Island is a "swell joint" where boys can run riot without fear of reprimand from authority figures and everything is freely available. The coach reaches the shore, where the boys board a boat which takes them to the island.

As the boys enjoy themselves at the fairground-like Pleasure Island, the Coachman orders his minions to close the doors, locking the unknowing boys in. Later that night, Jiminy searches the now-deserted fairground for Pinocchio. He eventually finds him playing pool with Lampwick, who scoffs that Pinocchio "takes orders from a grasshopper" after Jiminy tells Pinocchio that he has to come home right now and Lampwick laughing at Jiminy, shooting the cricket down the pool gutter when he admonishes him. This causes Jiminy to lose his temper and attempts to leave, quitting as Pinocchio's conscience once again after discovering that Pinocchio is friends with Lampwick. He crawls under the main doors of the fairground to find the Coachman and his minions loading donkeys into crates going to places, such as the Salt Mines and the Circus. One donkey, named Alexander, is able to speak. The Coachman throws Alexander into a pen of the other donkeys that "can still talk". Alexander and the other donkeys who can still talk, cry and beg for their freedom and to be human again, only for them to be silenced by the Coachman with a harsh whip crack and telling those transformed boys that they've already had their fun and now have to pay for it (which indirectly imparts to Jiminy the knowledge that Pinnochio needs to escape). When Jiminy hears this, he realizes that those donkeys are actually the same boys who went to Pleasure Island, prompting the cricket to panic and rush back to warn Pinocchio. Back in the pool hall, Lampwick is still laughing and mocking about Jiminy by saying that something is going to happen to them when he suddenly sprouts donkey ears, a tail, and his head is transformed into a donkey's. Lampwick asks if he looks like a jackass and Pinocchio replies that he does and laughs about it with a bray in his laugh. Lampwick tells him that he laughs like a donkey then he laughs with a bray in it too. He asks Pinocchio if that came out of him and Pinocchio frantically nods his head. He then feels his furry nose, cheeks, and long donkey ears, starts panicking, and then looks into the mirror and panics even more after witnessing the changes. He pleads Pinocchio for help, but the boy is only able to look on in fright as Lampwick's hands turn into donkey hooves. Lampwick's last words are a frantic call for his mother before he loses the ability to talk, completing the donkey transformation. Running in a great panic, Lampwick starts to kick everything in the pool hall, breaking the mirror and tables, and shaking his clothes off. A speechless Pinocchio hides behind a chair and his panic increases when he himself sprouts donkey ears and a tail. Jiminy arrives to tell Pinocchio that Pleasure Island is cursed as the boys are all donkeys and sees he’s partly a donkey now too, then frantically tells him they must leave quickly before he gets any worse. They hurriedly take an escape route in order to avoid the same terrible fate as all the other boys. Together, they jump off Pleasure Island and swim to the shore of the mainland with Pinocchio only having a donkey tail, ears, and bray in his laugh leaving the now-transformed Lampwick, the transformed boys, the Coachman, and his minions behind.

Pinocchio and Jiminy arrive at Geppetto's workshop to discover the old woodcutter has left, along with Figaro and Cleo. A message from the Blue Fairy as a dove informs Pinocchio of his father's location: after venturing out to sea to find Pinocchio, he had been swallowed by Monstro, an enormous whale. Pinocchio resolves to save Geppetto; though Jiminy tries to warn him against it, he accompanies the boy. Tying a rock to his donkey tail, Pinocchio plunges to the bottom of the sea and he and Jiminy begin their search for Monstro. Any sea creatures they attempt to ask flee at the mere mention of Monstro's name.

Inside the belly of the whale, Geppetto is in a small boat with Figaro and Cleo. They have nothing to eat; Geppetto fears that, unless Monstro opens his mouth soon, they will starve to death. Monstro then wakes from his slumber to surprise a school of tuna, who flee in all directions; Pinocchio and Jiminy see Monstro and, frightened, try to swim to escape; Pinocchio is swallowed, but the sprightly Jiminy manages to escape. Pinocchio finds himself on Geppetto's boat, and the woodcarver is relieved to see his son again. Geppetto laments that they could not get out of the whale. However, Pinocchio has a plan; gathering some wood, he starts a fire, which causes Monstro to sneeze the boat out. Jiminy jumps on as they fly past. Furious, Monstro chases the boat and smashes it to pieces with his tail. Pinocchio grabs ahold of his father and paddles for a hole in the cliffs beyond as a means of escape. Monstro, infuriated as ever, continues to chase after them. Pinocchio succeeds in getting through the hole in the cliff just as Monstro crashes into it. Geppetto, Jiminy, Figaro, and Cleo wash up on shore alive, but Pinocchio is seen floating face down in a deep puddle, apparently having died while trying to save his father.

In Geppetto's workshop, Jiminy, Geppetto, and his pets mourn Pinocchio's death. However, for saving his father, Pinocchio has proved himself brave, truthful, and unselfish; the Blue Fairy, from afar, grants him life, and he becomes a real boy (the donkey ears and tail disappear). Pinocchio shows the others that he is alive and a real boy, and everybody begins to celebrate once again. While the other characters celebrate, Jiminy, standing on the window ledge, gazes at the Wishing Star and thanks the Blue Fairy. As a reward, a gold medal declaring him an "Official Conscience" appears on his front. The Wishing Star shines in the sky, protecting and illuminating the village forever.
