Meet Pinocchio, a wicked wooden boy who trades his schoolbooks for candy and plays hooky at the amusement park. When his father Geppetto is swallowed by a giant whale, Pinocchio has the chance to be truly brave for the first time. Five storytellers bring this tale to life with great physicality and help from your imagination.
