The new Pinocchio by Iginio Straffi and Rainbow draws us into a humorous world of adventures, discoveries, and magic, with a modern and hilarious twist.

Collodi’s great classic is reimagined for today with 26 episodes produced in high-quality CGI animation, mixing great emotions, action, comedy, and timeless values, bringing together all the elements that make Pinocchio timeless.

THE STORY

Pinocchio is a puppet with a unique personality, an irresistible rascal showing us the world through his eyes together with a team of little heroes from Geppetto’s Shop of Wonders – a bunch of friends always ready to face a new challenge!

The brave pirate doll Freeda is Pinocchio’s inseparable companion. The outside world that Pinocchio and Freeda like so much, however, frightens the fearful and grumpy Talking Cricket, appointed by the Fairy with Turquoise Hair to always keep an eye on them. Cricket regularly tries to convince Pinocchio not to leave the shop, but he ignores this wise advice and often ends up in trouble!

With Freeda and the Talking Cricket alongside him, our puppet hero will visit incredible places, from the Magic Woods to the ocean, meeting old, new, good, and bad friends... like the Cat and the Fox, the two legendary scoundrels constantly busy causing trouble in town!

GET TO KNOW THE CHARACTERS! GET TO KNOW THE CHARACTERS!

PINOCCHIO

Lively, curious, a bit reckless, Pinocchio sometimes tells little lies which he believes are for good reason. Too bad his nose always stretches as soon as he tells one, and Pinocchio eventually tells the truth – always! Our little hero wants to explore the vast world beyond the threshold of Geppetto’s Shop, fascinated by all the things he can discover. He loves adventure and dreams of becoming a real boy. He knows hard work awaits him if he wants to make his wish come true, but despite his mischief, Talking Cricket and the Fairy are there to help him! Step by step, between adventures and mishaps, victories and setbacks, Pinocchio always knows how to get by through being cheerful. FREEDA

The brave pirate doll Freeda is Pinocchio’s inseparable companion. Wild and fearless, Freeda is always ready to set sail. When things seem impossible to solve, Freeda’s intuition always comes into play and the doll finds a solution to make things right. Freeda is the daughter of a famous pirate, Captain Sweetbeard, and dreams of becoming a valiant pirate like him. Cheerful, impertinent, and self-confident, she has a unique talent for solving problems and this makes her the ideal counterpart for Pinocchio, helping the puppet act like a true hero.

THE TALKING CRICKET

The Talking Cricket is not a toy, but a real cricket charged by the Fairy with Turquoise Hair to keep an eye on Pinocchio and his friends during her absence. Comically fearful and apprehensive, terrified of the outside world that Pinocchio likes so much, the grumpy Cricket follows the two protagonists in their daily adventures. PAPA GEPPETTO

Geppetto is a bit of a craftsman, a bit of an inventor, a bit of a visionary weirdo, and he runs his Shop of Wonders by himself. Here, old objects become new again and things never seen before come to life.Pinocchio, the Cricket and Freeda are Geppetto’s best friends, and he spends his days sharing joys and worries with them.

THE FAIRY WITH TURQUOISE HAIR

Bizarre and surprising, the Fairy with Turquoise Hair is a magical creature with a great passion for shoes, regularly entrusting missions to Pinocchio: The Fairy has too many requests to fulfil and cannot do everything alone. She lives with her beloved dog Medoro and her housekeeper, Agnese, in a mysterious house in the Magic Woods, that can be reached only if the Fairy wishes. She is the magical guide of the protagonists, and from time to time she also gives school lessons to Pinocchio and Freeda. THE CAT AND THE FOX

The Cat and the Fox are a couple of rascals who live for the day, convinced they will move in a world populated by chickens to pluck. The Cat and the Fox are ambitious but lazy adventurers, dreaming of a comfortable but idle life, with riches and no work. This drives them in a continuous, feverish search for an easy bargain, a naive person to rob or better yet, a treasure to recover.

CANDLEWICK

Candlewick is a young boy who always tells stories. He is not a bad child, but he does everything he can to be accepted by his classmates... and he does it the wrong way by trying to stand out. Undisciplined, his attitude hides a fragile and insecure personality. Pinocchio is a true friend to him, even though he is not the ideal adventure companion for Pinocchio... when the two friends are together, trouble is always around the corner! Candlewick loves being with Pinocchio and could follow him anywhere. AGNESE

Tending the home of the Fairy with Turquoise Hair is the housekeeper Agnese, a large snail of undefinable age. Agnese is unpredictable, she is slow only when she feels like it. The Fairy values her opinion: indeed, Agnese has a keen eye and a strong intuition and knows how to properly assess the people she meets.
