Geppetto | Disney Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia “Good Geppetto, you have given so much happiness to others, that you deserve to have your wish come true.” ―The Blue Fairy before granting Pinocchio life. Geppetto is a major character in Disney 's 1940 animated feature film, Pinocchio . He is a woodcarver who creates Pinocchio and wishes for him to become a real boy. When his wish comes true, he becomes the father of Pinocchio. Contents [ show ] Background Geppetto is described by Jiminy Cricket as a woodcarver who lives in a small home with his kitten Figaro and goldfish Cleo . Aside from his pets, he doesn't seem to have a family but nevertheless remains kind-hearted and humble. According to the Blue Fairy , Geppetto is somewhat of a saint, and he is implied to have spent a majority of his life selflessly bringing joy to others. As mentioned, Geppetto is a woodcarver and is extremely talented in his work. His home is filled with a massive array of original creations, including toys, figurines, clocks, articulated knick-knacks and other items created by Geppetto, himself.

He also appears to have some musical talent, as he not only creates a number of music boxes but is seen playing a Template:WikipediaLink:concertina . Personality Geppetto is a humble old man, who gleefully spends a majority of his time working on unique creations in his workshop. Most of these creations are meant for the entertainment of both himself and others, presenting Geppetto as a playful child-at-heart. He doesn't have much sternness in his attitude, nor does has he shown any legitimately negative traits to his character, aside from being somewhat of a passive. He is also very whimsical, with Jiminy describing his dreams as "lovely thoughts, but not at all practical", specifically referring to Geppetto's dream to have Pinocchio become a real boy. He doesn't make much of a fuss of how Pinocchio's sentence came to be, once they met. Additionally, he speaks to and treats both Figaro and Cleo as his children, and at times confidantes, rather than animals. As Pinocchio's father, Geppetto is undoubtedly loving, nurturing, and protective.

He was initially shocked at Pinocchio's presence, being a living puppet, but was quick to set that aside for the sake of providing him with the love that any human child should receive. After Pinocchio went missing, Geppetto wasted no time in searching the village, and beyond, to find his son; taking on dark streets, rain storms, and the deadly whale Monstro , Geppetto was relentless in ensuring his son was safe. After the two finally reunite, and Geppetto learned of Pinocchio's mishaps, he made no effort to reprimand his evidently remorseful son, simply feeling grateful to finally be a united family, once more. Appearances Pinocchio When first introduced, Geppetto is shown to be working on his latest, greatest creation, a marionette. Geppetto then names the puppet Pinocchio , for he was made of pine, and plays around with it once he's completed. This makes Figaro very jealous, which Geppetto realizes eventually. Geppetto then realizes it's bed time and spots a wishing star from his bed. He reveals to Figaro his wish for Pinocchio to become a real boy.

Afterward, Geppetto dozes off to sleep. During his slumber, Geppetto is visited by the Blue Fairy who grants Geppetto's wish for his acts of kindness to others. Through her magic, Pinocchio comes to life. He walks and talks, complete with a conscience, Jiminy Cricket. While Jiminy and Pinocchio are singing to celebrate their union Pinocchio falls off the shelf and makes much noise. Geppetto meets the living Pinocchio for the first time. The noise awakens Geppetto, who realizes that he, Cleo and Figaro are not the only ones in the house at the moment. Geppetto spots Pinocchio, who he thinks is still just a puppet and places him back on the shelf. Pinocchio speaks to Geppetto. Geppetto believes he's dreaming and splashes water on himself. Geppetto realizes it's not a dream and begins to celebrate along with Cleo and Figaro. Pinocchio innocently catches his own finger on fire, and Geppetto panics. Geppetto then douses Pinocchio's finger with Cleo's fish bowl water and decides that the group should go to bed before anything else happens.

The next morning, Geppetto prepares Pinocchio for his first day of school, presenting him with a vest and an apple for the teacher. Figaro attempts to follow him, but of course, Geppetto stops him. On the way unknown to Geppetto, Pinocchio is taken to Stromboli by local crooks J. Worthington Foulfellow and his sidekick Gideon . When Pinocchio doesn't come home, Geppetto goes out once again to look for his son. At one point he passes Stromboli's Caravan , but neither he nor Pinocchio spot each other. It is implied that he continues searching in vain. Later on, Geppetto, Figaro, and Cleo eventually learn of Pinocchio's presence on Pleasure Island and sail out to rescue him but are swallowed by Monstro the whale on the way. After Pinocchio and Jiminy are informed of Geppetto's fate via a message from the Blue Fairy and her pet bird, it is Geppetto who is rescued. After a search, Pinocchio is eaten by Monstro (though Jiminy is not) and reunites with Geppetto.

Pinocchio then plans to escape by making Monstro sneeze, though Geppetto is hesitant due to the monstrous whale's temper. The plan works but leads to a deadly chase. Geppetto nearly drowns when their raft is destroyed, but Pinocchio manages to save him. Geppetto, Cleo, Figaro, Jiminy all make it to safely to shore, but Pinocchio is killed by a giant wave. Back at Geppetto's workshop, Geppetto and the others mourn Pinocchio's death. In honor of Pinocchio's courage, the Blue Fairy revives Pinocchio as a real boy. Geppetto is initially ignorant to the fact that his son is alive (even while speaking to him), but rejoices when he looks up and sees Pinocchio. The family then celebrates in elation.

Geppetto bargains with the Fairy to use the second spot for Pinocchio and the Fairy lies to the others and says that the wardrobe can only save one. When Snow White's child is born, instead of giving up Pinocchio's spot to Snow White, Geppetto sends his son and tells him to protect the child and get her to believe in magic after twenty years.

Trivia The name "Geppetto" is a variant of "Giuseppe", which is Italian for "Joseph." In the original Italian story of Pinocchio, Geppetto was depicted as a woodcarver on hard times, so poor he can't even afford wood for a fire, so he paints one in his fireplace! He also was also a bit vain, as he wore a silly blond wig to try to hide his baldness, and also had a bit of an irascible side, especially if people made fun of his wig. The author Carlo Collodi was said to have based the character on an eccentric old man he knew growing up, only the real-life Geppetto was a coffin-maker, not a wood-carver! (Granted, both careers deal with wood...) In a deleted scene for the original film, Geppetto was to tell the story of Pinocchio's "grandfather", a mighty tree. Animator Art Babbitt once noted that Geppetto was his favorite character to animate. In Disney's Villains' Revenge Geppetto is mentioned when you click to a watch that in the room Jiminy Cricket says: (This is a clock manufactured by the very Geppetto).

Geppetto | Dark Parables Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Edit Geppetto is a handsome older man, with chin-length hair and a square jaw. He wears a woodcarver's apron.

As a puppet, he's made of dark wood and has glowing red and evil eyes. Geppetto was a kind, soft-spoken man before the cursed wood from the Evil Tree corrupted him. Once he became the Puppet Master, he was cold, callous and uncaring. He thought only of making more and more puppets and, later, of destroying the world and getting revenge on those who wronged him. History Edit Geppetto was a simple woodcarver who enjoyed carving toys and puppets. He dreamed of one day creating a masterpiece of a puppet, one that would be the greatest puppet ever made. He traveled the world, searching for the right kind of magical wood to use to create this puppet. His travels took him east, where he ran afowl of the Spider Queen 's army of spiders, who strung him up in web to make a snack of him. Thankfully, he was rescued by a Prince who happened to be traveling through the area, searching for his beloved princess. In exchange for saving him, Geppetto assisted the prince in his search. Along the way, Geppetto caught sight of the princess's Godmother , Amelia , and fell in love at first sight. The two met and the feelings were mutual.

They married and shared many blissful years together. One day, Amelia brought Geppetto some wood from the Forbidden Grove . Geppetto thought this wood would be perfect for his masterpiece - and with it, he created Pinocchio . Because Geppetto was pure-hearted, Pinocchio came to life. He was treated as a son by both Amelia and Geppetto, and the small family was happy for a time. However, the villagers did not accept Pinocchio. Geppetto felt bad for his lonely son, and he traveled to the Forbidden Grove, himself, to collect enough wood to make a companion and protector for Pinocchio. He spent so much time there that he began to be corrupted by the energies in the Grove. Pinocchio's companion became an enormous Wooden Beast , and Geppetto became obsessed with creating more and more puppets of all shapes and sizes. The villagers were even less accepting of these changes in Geppetto than they had been of his puppet son. They were frightened by the puppets he was making, finding them creepy and horrible. Their fears came to a head one day, while Amelia was away on Godmother business, and they burned Geppetto at the stake.

When Amelia revived him inside of a puppet made of the same cursed wood, his soul was still corrupted. He was now the Puppet Master and his only desire was to make the humans pay for killing him. He hurt Amelia, casting her aside and stealing the Soul Necklace from her. With it, he started raising an army of sentient puppets to destroy the world. His efforts were ended by the Fairytale Detective , with the help of Geppetto's son and wife. Once defeated, the Puppet Master's soul reverted back to Geppetto's, and he lamented what he had almost done. He was reunited with the soul of his now deceased wife, and the two combined their own souls to give their son a real body. Pinocchio later erected a beautiful statue to honor his father and mother for their love and their sacrifices. Relevant Parables The Evil Godmother (from The Final Cinderella ) Chosen by the Maiden Goddess to be "Godmother", Amelia traveled the world in search of Cinderellas. She aided many Cinderellas, and in return, the Cinderellas treated Amelia as if she were their real mother. One day, while on her travels, she met the woodcarver Geppetto. It was love at first sight.

They got married and spent many blissful years together. However, their happiness was not to last. Upon returning home after one of her journeys, she discovered that her husband had been killed. The shock was to great, and she descended into madness. Desperately, she hatched a crazy plan - she would find the Final Cinderella and use her soul, together with the Soul Necklace, to bring Geppetto back to life. To find Cinderella, Amelia installed the Cinderella detector in her son, Pinocchio. She also created cursed ball gowns and glass slippers. If a girl who was not Cinderella wore her cursed clothes, she would turn into a glass maiden at midnight. Heedless of the suffering she caused to innocent girls and to her son, Pinocchio, Amelia single-mindely devoted her life to reviving her husband. She became known as the evil Godmother. Geppetto and Pinocchio (from The Final Cinderella ) There was once a woodcarver named Geppetto, who traveled the world in search of wood suitable to carve his puppet masterpiece. One day, his wife Amelia brought him wood from the Forbidden Grove, with which he carved a puppet named Pinocchio.

To his surprise, the puppet came to life. Pinocchio was shunned by villagers for being a sentient puppet, so he started telling lies to get people's attention. Seeing his son's loneliness, Geppetto spent several months in the Forbidden Grove carving a giant wooden Beast to act as his son's companion and protector. The time Geppetto spent in the Grove corrupted him, and he grew obsessed with carving puppets, even neglecting his family for the sake of creating more puppets. The villagers grew afraid of Geppetto and his creepy puppets, so they had him put to death. Devastated, Pinocchio blamed himself for his dad's death. He decided to redeem himself by searching for Cinderella, so that he might help his mother revive his dad. The Forbidden Grove (from The Final Cinderella ) Deep inside the Mirror World lies a grove of trees filled with great spiritual power. This magical grove can only be accessed by means of specially enchanted mirrors. Long ago, a band of thieves found one of these mirrors and entered into the Mirror World to plunder its treasures. However, they were caught and executed in the magical grove. In death, their souls lingered, corrupting the trees with their hatred and greed.

The trees became twisted and deformed, and the grove came to be known as the Forbidden Grove. It is said that if a pure-hearted person created a puppet with wood from these trees, the puppet would be given a soul and come to life. However, if the puppet maker had a tainted heart, the puppet would be soulless. Those who spend too much time in the Forbidden Grove will gradually become corrupted by the thieves' souls and the Evil Trees. Only the Magic Glass Wand is able to purify the Grove. Relationships "I've been traveling around the world in search of wood to create my puppet masterpiece." "Who is that vision of beauty? Could you introduce me to her?" "Go away, woman! Don't bother me." "Pinocchio, I have always been proud to call you my son." "I have returned!" "With unlimited puppets at my disposal, we cannot fail!" "Your world will be mine!" "Those humans will rue the day they killed me." "You'll never stop me!"

Geppetto is a supporting character on Once Upon a Time . He was a lonely elderly man who carved a young boy out of wood to have as his companion.

The puppet was given life through magic, and Geppetto named him Pinocchio . Following a horrifying sea experience, the wood puppet was turned into a real boy by the Blue Fairy . Geppetto was later asked to build a magical wardrobe to protect Snow White and Prince Charming's baby from the Dark Curse , and he sent his son Pinocchio through the wardrobe as well. Following the curse, Geppetto became trapped in Storybrooke, Maine as Marco, a repairman. Contents (" That Still Small Voice ") It's raining heavily one night when Jiminy is asked by his parents to set up their show, against his will. "Puppets!", a young boy exclaims. "Wow, what a cool job you have.", he tells Jiminy. Jiminy doesn't reply. "You don't like it?", the boy asks, disappointed; "No, no I don't.", Jiminy tells him, still setting up, going on to say that it's the same every year. "Then why don't you just do something else?", the boy asks, to which Jiminy smirks, replying with "This is just who I am. Did you just come here to watch us set up?". "No.

I came here to listen to the crickets!", the boy exclaims. "Crickets?", Jiminy notes, adding that he hasn't listened to the crickets in a while. Thunder is heard rumbling above. "Hey, you better get home or you're gonna catch a cold.", Jiminy tells him. "So will you, here, have my umbrella. I don't live far.", the boy offers, handing his umbrella to Jiminy. The man gratefully accepts the boy's umbrella and the latter runs away, covering his hat, promising he'll be back to see the show. Jiminy smiles. Later, after Jiminy's parents trick a local couple, they are turned into a pair of wooden puppets, thanks to a serum that Jiminy was supposed to use on Martin and Myrna , given to him by Rumplestiltskin . The young boy who gave him the umbrella then comes home - they're his parents. Jiminy is disheartened. Later, when he is turned into a cricket by the Blue Fairy , she tells him to help the young boy through life - the young boy named Geppetto.

(" The Stranger ") Many years later, Pinocchio , the wooden puppet that was blessed with life, is seen on a raft with his maker and father, the elderly Geppetto, as they brave through the waves of an enraged sea during a stormy night, trying to escape from Monstro , the enormous whale that is chasing after them. Geppetto tells his son that they must abandon ship, and tries to hand him the one life vest they have. Pinocchio tells him to take it, because he is made of wood and therefore can float. Pinocchio then tells him to save himself and dives in the water, just as the whale approaches them. Some time later, Geppetto is seen stranded ashore, recuperating, and he is left brokenhearted by the sight of the lifeless Pinocchio, back to being a mere wooden puppet, face down on the beach. Geppetto takes his marionette in his arms and sobs over the loss of the only son he ever had, until the powerful and benevolent Blue Fairy appears and turns Pinocchio into a real, living boy. Geppetto is overwhelmed with joy, and the child is filled with excitement.

Geppetto is very thankful towards the Blue Fairy, and the head fairy tells the child to be brave, truthful and unselfish, and as long as he does that he'll always remain a real boy. Pinocchio nods affirmatively, but it is then revealed to us that he didn't exactly live by this ruling, for he goes on to become a very unruly boy, going so far as tying up his voice of reason, Jiminy Cricket , to the bird on a clock. The Blue Fairy then warns Geppetto that the Evil Queen is preparing to enact the Dark Curse , which will transport them all into a different world, rid of happy endings. The fairy tells him to fashion a vessel from an enchanted tree, so that Snow White and Prince Charming can be saved from the curse and lift the spell in the new world with the aid of their unborn daughter, who holds the key to save everyone. Geppetto agrees to build a magical wardrobe, but since it can only hold two people, he demands that his son Pinocchio is one of them. The fairy is then forced to tell the royal couple that only one of them can go through the wardrobe.

However, Emma , their child, is born ahead of schedule, and thus only the baby can go inside the vessel. Before she does, however, Pinocchio himself is sent through it, and Geppetto asks of his son to get Emma to believe in the curse so that she can break it. His son promises him this much. (" Welcome to Storybrooke ") After the Dark Curse is cast, Geppetto becomes trapped in the town of Storybrooke, Maine with the new identity of Marco, the town's local repairman. On the first day of the curse, Mayor Regina Mills , otherwise known as the Evil Queen, strolls down the streets of her town to see her victory in full effect. As she walks, one of the things she sees is Marco fixing the sign to one of the shops before Mr. Gold limps by. Soon, Regina shows up at Granny's Diner and is surprised to meet Owen Flynn , a child whom she does not recognize, proceeding to ask whose he is. She looks to Marco, who sadly tells the mayor that he was never lucky enough to have a son, but soon discovers that Owen's father is in fact Kurt Flynn , someone who was not resident within the fairytale land that was.

The next day, Regina walks down the streets of Storybrooke again to see Marco repairing the same sign. The next day, he repairs the same sign again, and Regina grows bored of this repetition and others that she notices throughout the town she runs. (" Pilot ") In Storybrooke , the new world the fairytale land residents traveled to, Emma Swan , the savior, wakes up in the local sheriff's station, imprisoned, after crashing her car into the town's entrance sign the night before. Geppetto's counterpart, Marco, is at the station when she wakes up, fixing a cupboard. Leroy (Grumpy) is in the adjacent cell, says "What are you looking at, sister?". Marco tells him to have manners, as they have a guest. Marco knows she's Henry's mother, and comments on how lovely it is that she's back in his life. Emma, still recovering, tells him she was just dropping him off, and Leroy says he doesn't blame her, as kids are all brats. "Who needs 'em?". Marco says he'd give anything for one. He explains that he and his wife tried for many years, but it wasn't meant to be.

"Well, cry me a river.", says an unsympathetic Leroy. (" We Are Both ") Following the breaking of the Dark Curse , a wooden-state Pinocchio is left lying on his room's bed, motionless, unattended... and then his blue eyes blink, indicating he has life left in him. Meanwhile, Geppetto, his disheveled elderly father, searches for his son, even putting up signs to draw attention to his missing boy. Later, Henry encounters him at Granny's Diner and whispers something to his hear. This leads Geppetto to come to August's motel room, only to find an empty bed. The only familiar thing he comes across is the small red hat Pinocchio wore as a child, an item that reignites his hope. (" The Outsider ") Marco and the other citizens of Storybrooke attend the funeral of Dr. Archibald "Archie" Hopper , who was supposedly murdered by Regina . Mary Margaret provides the beloved conscience, and Marco's best friend, with a beautiful eulogy stating that Archie is not gone as he will always live on inside of them, therefore, they should not think of today as goodbye, but a way of telling Archie that they'll be listening.

After she retreats, Marco walks up to his friend's grave and places the deceased's umbrella upon it, he tells Archie that he misses him a lot and that at least he's in a better place now. This is ironic as we are next shown Archie being held captive by Captain Hook . The therapist is later set free by Belle and he makes his way to Emma and Henry , assuring them that he is alive and that Regina was framed. (" Selfless, Brave and True ") Marco is eating in Granny's Diner when Mary Margaret walks in to tell he and Emma that she found August living in a trailer in the woods. However, she also mentions that he is completely made of wood. Marco suggests that they go to see the Blue Fairy as she helped him the last time, and they make their way to Mother Superior. The nun tells them that she cannot help August as he has not been a good boy as promised and what is happening to him is his own fault. Mary Margaret then leads Emma and Marco to August's trailer in the woods, and on their way there, Marco admits that all those years ago he sent Pinocchio through the wardrobe , meaning that Snow could not be with Emma.

Mary Margaret slaps him across the face and Emma is appalled, despite Marco stating he deserves it. Mary Margaret apologizes, saying that she's not herself, and the three of them soon find the trailer... which is empty. Emma receives a call from August at the sheriff's station and they make their way there. When they arrive, they find a wooden August stumbling outside, and soon collapsing. They run to his aid and he apologizes to his father for not being a good boy, before trying to warn Emma of something with his dying breath. He passes before he is able to do so and Henry points out that his final act was selfless, brave and true, meaning he can be saved. Mother Superior agrees, using magic to revive August and turn him into little boy Pinocchio once more. Pinocchio does not remember the warning that he tried to give, and if he did, he would be honest. He goes home with his father Marco. (" Snow Drifts ") Marco attends the coronation at Granny's Diner which is held to announce the name of Snow White and Prince Charming's newborn son ; whilst there, he is seen interacting with Granny and Kathryn .

The celebrations are soon halted, however, when a beam of light emanating from the defeated Zelena's time portal is spotted, meaning it's open. Inadvertently, Emma and Hook fall through it and end up in the Enchanted Forest of the past, where they soon witness the Evil Queen stop at a nearby village to torment the community, who have been hauled out of their homes by Black Knights. Geppetto is amongst them, and he steps out with his wooden son, Pinocchio , at his side, telling the Queen that they are a peaceful village and demanding to know what she wants. She replies that she wants justice, in that she wants Snow White captured, and she makes an example of one of her prisoners to show everyone what helping Snow looks like. Emma wants to step in and help, but Hook stops her from doing so, pointing out that anything they do to alter the past could mean drastic changes in the future. (" Enter the Dragon ") When Regina goes undercover to learn more about the plans of the Queens of Darkness, she soon finds out that they have they're own ongoing investigation as to who the Author is, wanting to use him in order to shift the balance of who does or doesn't get a happy ending.

They think that Pinocchio is a good lead, despite Regina assuring them that it led her nowhere, and the former Evil Queen is forced to enter Marco's workshop when he and his son are sanding a wooden rocking horse together and knock them both out with her magic. She then kidnaps Pinocchio for Maleficent and the others, much to Emma's protest, and it's soon revealed that Rumplestiltskin is back in Storybrooke after having been banished, also wanting to find this Author and have him rewrite the ending to his story. He tells the others that it won't matter how much they torture Pinocchio, he won't be able to remember anything so long as he's a child... so they just have to make him not be a child anymore. With that, he uses his magic to reverse what the Blue Fairy did, and Pinocchio is once again turned into the man he used to be: August W. Booth.
