When You Wish Upon A Star...
Released in 1940, "Pinocchio" was Disney's second animated feature. The movie tells the tale of a wooden puppet brought to life by the
Blue Fairy with the promise he can become a real boy if he proves himself worthy.
After being led astray by the wicked Honest John and his companion Gideon, Pinocchio is turned over to Stromboli,
the evil puppeteer, and is sent to Pleasure Island (where wicked boys are turned into donkeys). Fortunately
he escapes with the aid of his friend and conscience, Jiminy Cricket and eventually redeems himself by saving his father,
Geppetto, who has been swallowed by Monstro, the whale. Proving himself worthy, the Blue Fairy rewards Pinocchio by
turning him into a real boy.
