Carpenter Geppetto builds a marionette and names it Pinocchio, but on his numerous adventures the puppet runs into much trouble. Fortunately, the Blue Fairy comes to help, giving him a raven, an owl, and a talking cricket. Pinocchio ends up on the Island of Toys and is transformed into a donkey. After a brave escape, he ends up in the belly of a shark where he saves Geppetto, who was also swallowed by the shark while searching for Pinocchio at sea.
