Basically, Pinocchio is a wooden puppet who is brought to life upon his father’s (Geppetto) wish. But he must prove himself to be a good person before he can become a real little boy. Jiminy Cricket is Pinocchio’s sidekick and his conscience – he is supposed to help prevent Pinocchio from being tempted to do bad things. Pinocchio, unfortunately, meets characters along the way who want to lead him down the wrong path, but he escapes and find that, in order to prove himself good, he has to save his father from the beast, Monstro. Two other friends also join Pinocchio and Jiminy on their adventure – the cats Figaro and Cleo.
