Pinocchio

Geppetto makes a wood puppet called Pinocchio. His wish that Pinocchio be a human is unexpectedly granted by the Blue Fairy, however she only animates the puppet telling him that he has to prove himself in order to become a "real boy". The Blue Fairy assigns Jiminy Cricket to act as Pinocchio's conscience and keep him out of wrong, and Jiminy requests that if he succeeds, he wants a medal. Jiminy is not too successful in this endeavor (mainly due to the fact that Pinocchio repeatedly ignores Jiminy's good advice), so most of the film is spent with Pinocchio deep in wrong.

On his first day of school Pinocchio is led astray by the conniving Honest John and Gideon who convince him to join Stromboli's puppet show instead. Pinocchio becomes Stromboli's star attraction but Stromboli abuses Pinocchio by locking him in a bird cage. Stromboli also tells Pinocchio that "once you get too old, you'll make good fire wood." The Blue Fairy appears and questions Pinocchio about his situation, Pinocchio lies about how he got into the situation but recants when his nose grows in size. With the help of the Blue Fairy and Jiminy, Pinocchio escapes from the cage after his nose is returned to normal.

Honest John and Gideon once more manage to lead Pinocchio astray by convincing him to go to Pleasure Island. On his way he befriends Lampwick, a misbehaving and destructive boy who convinces Pinocchio to act like he and the other boys on Pleasure Island do. Pinocchio enjoys gambling, smoking, getting drunk and destroying Pleasure Island much to Jiminy's dismay. However Jiminy discovers that the island has the power to turn boys who "make jackasses of themselves" into literal donkeys. These boys are then sold to work in the local salt mines.

Lampwick is transformed but Pinocchio manages to escape with only his ears transformed and having gained a donkey's tail, they escape Pleasure Island and return to Geppetto's house. However, when he returns to Geppetto's store the Toymaker and his pets Figaro and Cleo (who somehow learned that Pinocchio was on Pleasure Island), have gone to sea in search for him.

To search for Geppetto, Pinocchio and Jiminy manage to traverse underwater. However Pinocchio gets swallowed by the gigantic whale Monstro, with Jiminy trapped in a bottle, outside. Inside the whale, Pinocchio finds that Geppeto and his pets also reside there having been swallowed themselves. Pinocchio devises an escape plan by burning wood in order to make Monstro sneeze. The plan works but in the process Monstro chases after them. Geppetto nearly drowns and asks Pinocchio to save himself, by swimming for shore. Pinocchio grabs his father and tries to swim to shore, but in the process, Monstro bumps into a huge boulder and causes a huge tidal wave, which washes everyone onto shore. Geppetto survives, but Pinocchio drowns and is dead.

Geppeto, Jiminy and the pets are distraught and return home with Pinocchio's body. The Blue Fairy decides that Pinocchio has proved his worth and brings him back to life and also turns him into a real boy. Everyone is overjoyed and they begin to celebrate. The Blue Fairy rewards Jiminy with the medal he requested when he was assigned as Pinocchio's conscience. The movie ends with Jiminy singing the classic song "When You Wish upon a Star".

.El cuento de Pinocho es la historia del alma humana en su viaje de evolución espiritual. Pinocho es creado bajo la influencia de dos personajes, uno masculino y otro femenino (que simbolizan los dos aspectos de Dios ). Es tallado por el carpintero Geppetto, y el Hada Azul le da vida. Al mismo tiempo, el Hada elige a un grillo llamado Pepito y le encomienda una misión: permanecer junto a Pinocho y ser su conciencia ( Esto significa que Dios pone junto a cada alma la conciencia de la verdad, que la acompaña siempre dentro de si misma ). El mayor deseo de Geppetto es que Pinocho llegue a ser un niño de verdad. Y sabe que su deseo sólo puede hacerse realidad si Pinocho aprende y crece, por lo que lo envía a la escuela, (nuestro desenvolvimiento es un proceso de aprendizaje permanente ). Pinocho sale por la puerta principal conducido por su padre, y lo hace cargado de propósitos, con el anhelo profundo de convertirse en algo superior: en un niño de verdad. Pero cuando sale al mundo surgen los problemas. Haciendo uso de su libertad recién descubierta, Pinocho toma algunas decisiones equivocadas, y sucumbe ante la tentación del orgullo. a pesar de las protestas
