Filled with music, dancing and plenty of chances to join in, this updated version of the classic tale is plenty of fun and packed with surprises.
One day Pinocchio learns that he isn’t a real boy as he’d always thought. He’s actually made of wood! Struggling to fit in, he sets off on an exciting adventure with his trusty sidekick cricket to find out how to become a real boy.
Along the way, Pinocchio makes friends with a whole host of larger-than-life characters. The only trouble is, he has to tell some white lies in order to help his mission and each one makes his nose grow!
Will he find the secret to becoming a real boy, or can he learn to accept himself the way he is?
