Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
In this animated version of the classic children's tale, the marionette who wanted to become a real boy gets into trouble when he loses his father Gepetto's favorite jewelry box. At first, Pinnochio tries to conceal his wrongdoing but eventually, thanks to the promptings of his insect pal "Gee Whilikers," comes to do the right thing.
