|Kindhearted craftsman Geppetto wishes for his own son, so a blue fairy (resembling the Blessed Virgin Mary) grants his wish and brings one of his wooden puppets to life, promising that she will make him a real boy if he proves himself brave, truthful, and unselfish. As he tries to fit in with humans, the wooden boy is soon tricked and kidnapped by the evil puppet master Stromboli. Over the course of his journey of self-discovery, Pinocchio's morals, which his creator gave him, are tested, and he must escape being manipulated by the bad boys of the cursed Pleasure Island who have [[Hollywood values]] and, because of their actions, are turned into donkeys (which, coincidentally, is the mascot for the Democratic party). Finally, he altruistically saves Geppetto from being trapped inside a whale and proves himself worthy to become a real boy.
