Pinocho

A pesar del sufrimiento que le causa a Geppetto, Pinocho emprende un viaje para conocerse a sí mismo, durante el cual tendrá que enfrentarse a diversos peligros: lo perseguirán unos asesinos, se verá convertido en un burro, formará parte de un circo ambulante y será engullido por un inmenso tiburón. Finalmente, los remordimientos y el sentimiento de culpa harán que vuelva con Geppetto, aunque quizá ya sea demasiado tarde. Pinocho es la eterna y emotiva historia de un niño que aprende a ser hijo y de un hombre que aprende a ser padre.
