Spoilers ahead
In a quiet Tuscan village, a poor carpenter named Geppetto Mino Caprio carves a wooden puppet and names him Pinocchio Gabriele Caprio. Pinocchio darts through the streets, scattering weeds from one corner to the next, until he’s halted by the town’s two carabinieri. When he stubbornly refuses to go home, the carabinieri fear Geppetto might be harming the puppet and detain him, then release Pinocchio. Ignoring cautions from a talking cricket Carlo Valli that Pinocchio silences with a log, the young puppet trudges home and dreams of a freer life, only to wake up to the startling sight of feet that have burned away. Geppetto then fashions new feet, and Pinocchio vows to behave and start school, a pledge that will prove harder to keep than he thinks.
