Set in a small village in the Tuscany district in Italy, the story starts with a poor old carpenter named Geppetto, who lives alone.

While running into the forest, the cat and the fox (who are still in disguise) manage to seize Pinocchio, and they hang him on a tree in order to retrieve the golden coins.

Pinocchio holds on to the golden coins and, eventually, the fox and the cat decide to leave him hanging on the tree.

After Pinocchio continues his journey towards his home, along the way, he meets the Fox and the cat yet again (although he doesn't know that they were the robbers who tried to steal his golden coins).

Later on, Pinocchio, The fox and the cat, and several children join a wanderer, who leads them towards the land of toys, which consists of amusement facilities and as much candy as they desire.

The next morning Pinocchio and his friends wake up and discover that they have transformed into donkeys during the night, the real reason for which they were initially brought to the land of toys by the wanderer.

After Pinocchio manages to save the circus from burning in a big fire, he transforms back to his former-self.

Pinocchio manages to find the courage and wisdom needed to get himself and Geppetto out of the whale's stomach safely.
