Geppetto dreams of having a son, and the Blue Fairy (Nicoletta Braschi) grants Geppetto's wish and turns Pinocchio into a living boy–with the warning that he must always be honest. At first, Pinocchio disrespects his elders, skips school, and tells lies. He goes from one wild adventure to another despite guidance from the Blue Fairy; however, by story's end, Pinocchio has learned valuable lessons and proves that he can and will be a good boy.
