Summary

The series is narrated by an old wood carver Geppetto who explains on how he made a magically living puppet named Pinocchio, who can walk, jump, run and other things without strings. In addition, Pinocchio is also known to have his nose grow whenever he tell any lies on anything be it right or wrong. Displeased with the need to continue living as a puppet, Pinocchio sets off on a journey with his friend Cricket to find the Blue Fairy who can transform him into a real boy (in other words, a human) with her magic. But along the way, Pinocchio and Cricket encounters the two anthropomorphic animal cons, Foxy Q. Fibble and Cool S. Cat, as well as the greatest adventure, mishappening, danger and excitement than they would ever imagine.
