Pinocchio is the Golden Films and GoodTimes Entertainment version of The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi.One day, a magical spark escapes from the Blue Fairy's house and lands on one of the logs burning on the fireplace of Geppetto, whose toy shop hasn't been doing well. Then, the old man carves a puppet from it, and it comes to life. The marionette has to learn how to behave.

comment
Pinocchio Nose: Evoked and played for laughs at first. When Geppetto asks an unfinished Pinocchio if he would be a good boy, the puppet's head moves to say yes, but his nose grows. Later, played straight when Pinocchio lies to the Blue Fairy about his money and his nose grows.

Clueless Aesop: The film tries to teach that you should not lie, but since lying is not an important theme in the plot of neither the book nor this film, it fails to be persuasive.

Adapted Out
 Pinocchio (1992) / int_33d5b7f2
comment
Adapted Out: Mastro Cherry, the Carabiniers, Mangiafuoco's puppets, many of the talking animals and the Green Fisherman. Well, this is a compressed adaptation. Among the talking animals that were eliminated from the book, there is a tuna who helped Pinocchio get Geppetto to land, and his elimination means that Pinocchio swims to the beach without help, albeit his original counterpart almost fails.

Adaptational Heroism
 Pinocchio (1992) / int_3f45f1e6
comment
Adaptational Heroism: Mangiafuoco, a common target of the opposite trope, applies as this since he doesn't show any intention to burn puppets, and he just scolds Pinocchio for ruining his show instead of planning to burn him. The Blue Fairy does garrison Pinocchio from the disguised thieves (The Wolf and the Cat) unlike the book one that alleged to be dead and was quite morally ambiguous. Also happened with the Wolf and the Cat. In the midnight assault scene, they disguise as trees rather than as assasins and don't scare Pinocchio to give up the coins. Both things indicate that they wouldn't have hurt Pinocchio unlike their literary counterparts.

Spared by the Adaptation: In the book, Candlewick died of overwork as a donkey. Here, it seems that Giangio, the farmer whom Pinocchio worked for, didn't buy Candlewick, giving an ambiguous fate to the boy.

Lost in Imitation: Pinocchio, Geppetto, the Blue Fairy and the Cricket are more similar to their Disney version counterparts than the book ones, while Mangiafuoco's puppets are not sentient and are not styled on Commedia dell'Arte. Averted with Mangiafuoco, who is actually more benevolent than the book one and his strong sneezes are kept in this version.
