Saban's The Adventures of Pinocchio is a dark and emotional fantasy adventure series about a lonely woodcarver named Geppetto who creates a wooden puppet named Pinocchio. A magical fairy brings Pinocchio to life, but she tells him he can only become a real human boy once he learns to overcome his severe character flaws. Unlike gentler versions of this tale, this series places Pinocchio in a highly dangerous world filled with cruel con artists, terrifying puppetmasters, and harsh life lessons. Pinocchio must constantly battle his own extreme gullibility, selfishness, and habit of lying as he encounters various enemies who try to exploit him. Ultimately, the show is an intense journey of personal growth, proving that becoming human requires immense sacrifice, suffering, and a truly good heart.
