Kashi no Ki Mokku (known as Pinocchio: The Series or Saban's Adventures of Pinocchio in the Western world) is an anime adaptation of the story of Pinocchio, made by Tatsunoko Production. It ran for 52 episodes in 1972 on Fuji Television. The first adaptation into English came in 1984 when Jim Terry of Force Five fame cut several episodes into movie form; this version was distributed by Harmony Gold. Then in 1990, Saban Entertainment adapted the entire series into English, as one of several Tatsunoko shows they dubbed around the same time. This version ran on HBO in 1992, on BBC1 in the UK, and all over the world via Fox Kids.Unlike the Disney version, this version is far more like Carlo Collodi's original story, which was rather dark. In one infamous episode, Pinocchio tries to kill a boy and take his heart to become human. Pinocchio himself was characterized as being prone to all the flaws of humanity, and he had to learn how to overcome them. It's also a very loose adaptation of Collodi's novel, as Pinocchio has his own share of adventures, none of which are based on the original story.See also Piccolino no Bouken, a later adaptation of the story.

Darker and Edgier
 Mokku of the Oak Tree / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: If the original novel may come off as being too dark for those more familiar with the Disney version, this anime has many more characters (children among these) dying, psychologically and physically abusive villains and angst from the main character being unhappy or longing for his father. Not to mention how Pinocchio almost kills a child like a horror movie killer doll in one episode. In the English dub most of the darkest moments have been edited around to be less dramatic or cut entirely, such as Pinocchio setting himself on fire to unfreeze himself and almost burning to death in the series finale. (The earlier Harmony Gold dub simply didn't include those episodes at all, except for the final episode with the burning part being cut.)

Papa Wolf: In the two parter about the vampiric witch, Geppetto low-key becomes a Vampire Hunter when he comes to the rescue. When Pinocchio attempts to kill a boy to take his heart, the boy's father retaliates by almost killing Pinocchio via throwing him down a burning chimney.

Adaptational Villainy
 Mokku of the Oak Tree / int_20f689e9
comment
Adaptational Villainy: Similar to the Disney movie and the Russian Buratino, the Puppet Master is depicted as a villain instead of being a Jerk with a Heart of Gold who sympathizes with Pinocchio and gives him money for his father. His incarnation in this anime, called "Sneeroff" in the Saban dub (Zampino in the Harmony Gold dub), is arguably the cruelest and most evil take on the character, so much so that he's a recurring villain.

comment
Black Comedy: When the show isn't trying to scar children's minds, its darkness is used as a source of humor. For example, in the ending of episode 21 Pinocchio innocently mistakes the skeleton of a pirate for a puppet, and proceeds to have a prolonged dance scene with it in front of Geppetto and the staggered present.

Related in the Adaptation: The fairy is treated as a mother figure in most Pinocchio stories, but this one goes so far as to make her his actual Mother (by way of him being carved from a branch of her tree) and even gives him an Adaptation Dye-Job so they both have blue hair.

Took a Level in Kindness: Pinocchio becomes more compassionate as the series goes on, eventually being willing to put himself in danger to save others. The same is true for Jack and Willie. They spend half the series being shady, opportunistic False Friends to Pinocchio but after both parties get kidnapped by Sneeroff (with Pinocchio getting the evil puppet master to spare their lives) and dragged into a long and dangerous journey, Jack and Willie gradually become True Companions to Pinocchio.

Adaptational Heroism: In the book, the Fox and the Cat were unscrupulous crooks who even went as far as trying to murder Pinocchio for his gold coins. Their counterparts here, Jack the fox and Willie the weasel, start as recurring antagonists who are every bit as bad, acting as False Friends to Pinocchio and even trying to kill him several times, but throughout the series, Character Development leads to them and Pinocchio becoming Fire-Forged Friends and they even become willing to risk their own lives to help the wooden boy.

Secret Test of Character

The way the episode is cut makes it seem like they fully dubbed the uncut version but they left the dubbed dialogue unchanged when they censored it, as Johnny somehow knows Pinocchio is trying to take his heart without Pinocchio telling him and the part where Johnny's father calls him a good-for-nothing as part of a Secret Test of Character where he pretended to let Pinocchio kill him and Johnny's father explaining why he put them through the Secret Test of Character were still left in even though said Secret Test of Character was cut.

comment
Manipulative Bastard: Most characters Willie and Jack, and Charlie the mouse who lives in Geppetto's house are special mentions. Special mention for Franco as well, in the first episode he tells Pinocchio to wait for him in the pawn shop so they can sell their books to see a puppet show while he really plans to sell him to the puppeteer. From there he regularly uses him, drags him into dangerous schemes, and frames him for pranks. The Poppy Witch in episode 8, who disguises herself as a beautiful girl and lures Pinocchio into an Amusement Park of Doom in order to change him back to inanimate wood, just because she and the Blue Fairy are enemies. Sneeroff cons both Pinocchio & Geppetto into working for him under the pretense of helping them and manages to play nice in front of other humans. Downplayed with the Mermaid from episodes 24 & 25, who lied to Pinocchio to get him to help her, but mostly did so because she was worried he wouldn't help her if he knew what he wanted was impossible, and because Pinocchio actually threatened to return her to the circus if she refused to help him.

Honor Before Reason: There are a few examples, such as in episode 31 when Geppetto refuses to eat the bread Charlie brought him after learning it's stolen and demands he return it. What makes it this is that the bread was a day old, and Charlie (a mouse) dragged all over town.

The infamous episode 5 contains a line that was cut from the English version that implies Pinocchio thinks stealing his classmate's heart will just make them switch species; that he'll turn into a living puppet while Pinocchio will become human. True the scene is still scary, but it's a little better knowing he doesn't fully understand his actions.

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Pinocchio's forced into this in episode 13, when he falls in love with a beautiful, sweet rich girl named Melody and neglects to tell her he's a puppet. The cricket and the Blue Fairy both advise him to confess the truth, as though it may hurt Melody's feelings, it's better than continuing the deception. Pinocchio loses his nerve but ends up outing himself when he gets into a fight with some boys and ends up outing himself, with Melody overhearing him. Melody is stunned and hurt, but Pinocchio, finally realizing honesty is for the best, promises her he'll be a real boy one day and perhaps then they can be together.

Heroic Sacrifice: Barely averted in several episodes including episode 44 when he offers to let a group of children he's stranded in a blizzard with burn him, episode 50 when he tells the fire monster to punish him and let Geppetto & Gina live, Episode 51 when he offers to let the army take him if they'll let a wheelchair-bound girl keep her dolls Played straight in episode 36 when the lion lets himself drown in a swamp to save Pinocchio from the same fate (though the lion was dying anyway). In episode 39 as well when Debbo the dog volunteers to jump off the balloon and onto a piece of driftwood so everyone else can make it to land safely. Pinocchio gets some more minor ones earlier in the series when his limbs are damaged to help others in episodes 4, 7, 14, 15, and 33. Though in those cases the damage isn't permanent since his damaged limbs can be replaced.

Missed Him by That Much: Charlie's attempts to do away with Pinocchio in the earlier episodes, particularly the aforementioned attempt in episode 3 which has a cliffhanger ending where Charlie is about to try biting through the puppet's neck. The next episode picks up and shows Pinocchio survived by rolling over in his sleep.

 Mokku of the Oak Tree / int_8cb1a369
comment
Took a Level in Jerkass: Look back to the Laser-Guided Karma trope. In episode 37, where Pinocchio uses the diamonds he received in the previous episode to enjoy a lavish lifestyle, again adopting an arrogant attitude and antagonizing others for his amusement (this time without the negative relationship he had with the people of his home town). He also buys a house that was about to be purchased as an orphanage, puts off freeing a baby vulture who has giving him advice, waves off a traveling carpenter as being a beggar (not realising it's his father), and finally when his house catches fire he runs away without saving the baby vulture. He never backslides anywhere near this badly after this episode.

Laser-Guided Karma: Pinocchio get this in an episode when he is forced to be adopted by a Nobleman and becomes the Prince, but becomes a huge Jerkass to his servants and randomly riding down any person who gets in his way, laughing at the horror, indignity and danger inflicted upon others for his personal amusement. But then gets punished by the blue fairy and turns his nose into a tree. And his stepfather who could not stop laughing at Pinocchio kicks him out, and the people he tormented come back to plan on killing him but is saved by his real father. In episode 37 Pinocchio becomes a big jerk due to the richness he has with his diamonds (which he received in the previous episode as a gift for saving the day), becoming so hedonistic and heartless he buys a whole manor for himself right in front of a man and his children that were about to purchase the place to make it into an orphanage, refuses to free a pet baby vulture despite him doing what he asked and accidentally has Geppetto rejected from his villa. Sneeroff steals Pinocchio's diamonds, sets the villa ablaze to burn him alive, the helpless baby vulture dies, Cue the Rain, Pinocchio's coachman abandons him, in the uncut version the orphans return and have their revenge on Pinocchio by throwing rocks at him, and then the episode ends on the mother of all Hope Spots when Pinocchio and Geppetto's reunion is cut short by the baby vulture's vengeful father snatching Pinocchio and dropping him into a bottomless pit in the desert for letting his son die.

The same is true for Jack and Willie.

Toy Reminder: A rare example of this being applied to a Level 4 Living Toy, there are times when parts of him get damaged but are easily replaced, except episode 15 where his leg is infested with termites and the replacement doesn't work without the fairy's magic. Becomes a "Plant Reminder" in episode 28 when he thinks a magic spring will make him grow into an adult human, he ends up growing tree roots instead.

comment
And I Must Scream: In the original book, the marionettes of the puppet theater were just as sentient as Pinocchio was, while in the Disney movie they were inanimate objects (thus making Pinocchio an attraction for being a miraculous living puppet) this anime instead goes for something in between, where the puppets cannot move, but they're conscious and only Pinocchio can hear them, and they're far from happy about being unable to do anything when the living people destroy or burn them when they break or get too old to use. Yikes.

Sea Monster: More than one appear throughout the show. In episode 21, in what is the closest the anime gets to depicting the Terrible Dogfish, Pinocchio gets targeted and Swallowed Whole by a gigantic monkfish while retrieving a sunken treasure, but he uses a sword to slay his way out, killing the monster in the process. A more benevolent sea monster, shaped like a giant sea cucumber, appears in episode 25 to protect the mermaids by transforming the pirates into sea urchins and sinking their ship into a whirlpool. In episode 48 the crew of the vessel try to sacrifice Gina to a giant octopus monster in order to pass, but Pinocchio manages to rescue her and cause its death with some help from the Fairy.

Aesop Amnesia: The early episodes of the anime have Pinocchio being a Horrible Judge of Character who is repeatedly lured into trouble and gets almost killed by Jack, Willie, Charlie or Franco, instead of realizing he should avoid them like the plague after the first disaster they make him endure. It gets especially bad when the ghost of the Cricket tries to warn him not to follow them and is ignored each time.

comment
Dub Text: In episode 10 Pinocchio causes trouble by lying, culminating in Gepetto convincing the Mayor to call off an Angry Mob in exchange for a carving he'd admired, later a traveling bandit tricks him into breaking into the Mayor's house while he robs the safe and then leaves Pinocchio to take the fall. In the original the Mayor refuses Geppetto's plea to stop the townsfolk from killing his son because he's been pushed too far, the dubbing team took issue with that and changed it to him following the letter of the law... think about this for a minute: the town doles out the death penalty for theft, even if the culprit's a child. The infamous episode 5 contains a line that was cut from the English version that implies Pinocchio thinks stealing his classmate's heart will just make them switch species; that he'll turn into a living puppet while Pinocchio will become human. True the scene is still scary, but it's a little better knowing he doesn't fully understand his actions.

Adaptation Species Change

comment
Adaptation Species Change: The cat that was the fox's partner-in-crime in the book and other adaptations is replaced with a weasel named Willie. In the Italian dub, however, Willie is still referred to as "The Cat".

Pinocchio get this in an episode when he is forced to be adopted by a Nobleman and becomes the Prince, but becomes a huge Jerkass to his servants and randomly riding down any person who gets in his way, laughing at the horror, indignity and danger inflicted upon others for his personal amusement. But then gets punished by the blue fairy and turns his nose into a tree. And his stepfather who could not stop laughing at Pinocchio kicks him out, and the people he tormented come back to plan on killing him but is saved by his real father.

In episode 21, in what is the closest the anime gets to depicting the Terrible Dogfish, Pinocchio gets targeted and Swallowed Whole by a gigantic monkfish while retrieving a sunken treasure, but he uses a sword to slay his way out, killing the monster in the process.

A Dog Named "Dog": The cricket's name in the original version is "Koorogi," which is Japanese for "cricket." He was renamed Timothy in the Harmony Gold dub.

Easily Forgiven: In episode 11 Pinocchio deliberately rips up a drawing Jocko made of his mother, the last thing she has left to remember him by, and she just forgives him by the end.

Accidental Murder
 Mokku of the Oak Tree / int_fd497706
comment
Accidental Murder: Like in the book, Pinocchio accidentally causes the Cricket’s death, though here it’s more indirect. The Cricket witnesses Pinocchio coming to life and tries to stop him from waking Geppetto only to be flung away and land on the handle of a hammer. As he stands up on it, the hammer falls over and squashes the Cricket. Since Pinocchio was barely coming to his senses at that moment, he can hardly be held accountable for it.

Innocently Insensitive: In episode 11 one of Pinocchio's classmates falls in the river and drowns, he gets the idea to take his place and shows up on the mother's doorstep shortly after the funeral offering to be her new son...she takes it as well as you'd expect.

Adaptation Inspiration: The basic premise is the same as the book and more popular re-tellings, you can even see some episodes that were influenced by parts of the original story, but Tatsunoko managed to make it their own story.

comment
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Melodynote Saban dub name; she's called Mirelle in the Jim Terry dub in episode 13. She's sweet and kind, and although she's rich, she puts on no airs and wishes she could live more like a normal girl. And although she's stunned and hurt when she learns Pinocchio isn't a real boy, she seems to still love him.
