PINOCCHIO AND FRIENDS

Category: Edition 2022

One of the most beloved fairy tales ever written is back in a wholly fresh and dreamy version. Straffi’s new Pinocchio guides us through modern adventures and fun in a world full of hilarious surprises and magic.
Papa Geppetto's Shop of Wonders is an extraordinary place, a place where you can breathe magic. Yes, because it is the home of Pinocchio and his friends, a bunch of little heroes always ready to set off on a new adventure! Pinocchio is a cheerful puppet, generous, determined, but also a funny bungler who often tells little lies for good... Too bad that his nose grows every time he tells a lie! Freeda is Pinocchio’s inseparable pal, a pirate doll always ready to board! Pinocchio and Freeda are an amazing team, always joined by the timid and grumpy Talking Cricket, appointed by the Fairy with Turquoise Hair to keep an eye on them. Together, they'll discover incredible places, from the Magic Woods to the ocean, and they'll meet old, new, good, and bad friends and enemies... like the Fox and the Cat, two scoundrels constantly busy causing trouble!
