Pinocchio Recap - 15 Story Lessons

From this 1940 classic Disney film, we review and give a plot summary while going over what we can learn from Pinocchio. Learn how a wooden boy learned how to be brave, truthful and unselfish despite many bad influences and became a real boy.
Watch the 1940 Pinocchio full movie: • Pinocchio (1940)
Relive the full story (without the songs and soundtrack unfortunately):
Pinocchio the wooden puppet didn’t come to life until the blue fairy decided to grant Geppetto’s wish upon a star for his little wooden head. He can also become a real boy if he proves to be truthful, brave and unselfish. While the blue fairy is in the workshop, Jiminy Cricket volunteers to be Pinocchio’s conscience and he then teaches Pinocchio how to let your conscience be your guide. He can also give a little whistle to let Jiminy know he needs help. When Geppetto finds that Pinochio has come alive, he is ecstatic and the next day Pinocchio goes to school like any other boy. He however is caught by Honest John and persuades him to pursue acting rather than school. Jiminy cricket is not a snitch and rather than telling Geppetto, he chases after Pinocchio himself. Pinocchio finds himself with Stromboli the puppet master and starts a new routine: I’ve got no strings. He is a hit with the crowd and Stromboli takes Pinocchio to tour the whole world and cages Pinocchio like an animal. Jiminy Cricket tries to undo the lock, but is unable to and Pinocchio and Jiminy cricket cry together. The blue fairy arrives to help, but Pinocchio tells a lie and hides the true story about what happened. Meanwhile the coachman has a proposition for Honest John and he leads Pinocchio astray to Pleasure Island (which ends up being a nightmare). The true and sinister purpose of pleasure island is to transform mischievous boys into donkeys to be sold. Jiminy comes back and saves Pinocchio from the island, but when they come back they find that Geppetto is trapped in Monstro the whale. When Pinocchio finds Geppetto, he helps make smoke so that the whale sneezes and they escape from Monstro. In the process of rescuing Geppetto however, Pinocchio dies and sacrifices himself. The blue fairy sees how Pinocchio changed and transforms Pinocchio into a real boy.

Jiminy Cricket addresses the audience as the narrator and begins telling a story.
Jiminy came to a village in Italy sometime in the late 19th century, where he arrived at the shop of a woodworker and toymaker named Geppetto, who creates a puppet he names Pinocchio. As he falls asleep, Geppetto wishes upon a star for Pinocchio to be a real boy. Late that night, the Blue Fairy visits the workshop and brings Pinocchio to life, although he remains a puppet. She informs him that if he proves himself to be brave, truthful, and unselfish, he will become a real boy. When Jiminy reveals himself, the Blue Fairy assigns him to be Pinocchio's conscience. Geppetto awakens upon hearing the commotion from Pinocchio falling, and is overjoyed to discover that he is alive and will become a real boy.
The next morning, while walking to school, Pinocchio is led astray by con artist fox Honest John and his sidekick Gideon the Cat. Honest John convinces him to join Stromboli's puppet show, despite Jiminy's objections. Pinocchio becomes Stromboli's star attraction, but when he tries to go home, Stromboli locks him in a bird cage and leaves to tour the world with Pinocchio. After Jiminy unsuccessfully tries to free his friend, the Blue Fairy appears, and an anxious Pinocchio lies about what happened, causing his nose to grow. The Blue Fairy restores his nose and frees Pinocchio when he promises to make amends, but warns him that she can offer no further help.
Meanwhile, a mysterious Coachman hires Honest John to find disobedient boys for him to take to Pleasure Island. Though the Coachman's implication of what happens to the boys frightens Honest John and Gideon, the former reluctantly accepts the job and finds Pinocchio, convincing him to take a vacation on Pleasure Island. On the way to the island, Pinocchio befriends Lampwick, a delinquent boy. At Pleasure Island, without rules or authority to enforce their activity, Pinocchio, Lampwick, and many other boys soon engage in vices such as vandalism, fighting, smoking and drinking. Jiminy eventually finds Pinocchio in a billiard hall smoking and playing pool with Lampwick, and the two have a falling out after Pinocchio defends Lampwick for his actions. As Jiminy tries to leave Pleasure Island, he discovers that the island hides a horrible curse that turns the boys into donkeys, and they are sold by the Coachman into slave labor. Pinocchio witnesses Lampwick transform into a donkey, and with Jiminy's help, he escapes before he can be fully transformed, though he still has a donkey's ears and tail.
Upon returning home, Pinocchio and Jiminy find Geppetto's workshop deserted and get a letter from the Blue Fairy in the form of a dove, stating that Geppetto went out looking for Pinocchio and sailed to Pleasure Island. However, he was swallowed by a gigantic and vicious sperm whale called Monstro and is now trapped in the belly of the beast. Determined to rescue his father, Pinocchio jumps into the Mediterranean Sea with Jiminy and is soon swallowed by Monstro, where he reunites with Geppetto. Pinocchio devises a scheme to make Monstro sneeze and allow them to escape, but the whale chases them and smashes their raft with his tail. Pinocchio selflessly pulls Geppetto to safety in a cove just as Monstro crashes into it, but Pinocchio is killed in the process.
Back at home, Geppetto, Jiminy, Figaro, and Cleo mourn Pinocchio. However, having succeeded in proving himself brave, truthful, and unselfish, Pinocchio is revived and turned into a real human boy by the Blue Fairy, much to everyone's joy. As the group celebrates, Jiminy steps outside to thank the Fairy and is rewarded with a solid gold badge that certifies him as an official conscience.
