** The Fox and the Cat are working for the puppetmaster (Mangiafuoco[=/=]Stromboli), and so they tempt Pinocchio to skip school to visit the puppet theatre. In the book, Pinocchio only encounters them after leaving the theatre and there's no hint that they are subordinates of anyone. By the end, they also become {{Karma Houdini}}s, unlike in the novel where their [[ObfuscatingDisability pretend disabilities]] [[LaserGuidedKarma become real]].

Long ago, a young Geppetto is happily playing with his kite until the kite is carried away by the wind when the string is broken. Many years pass, and the kite miraculously finds its way home to its now elderly owner, and Geppetto reminisces happy memories of his boyhood, inspiring him to carve a wooden puppet in his childhood likeness, named Pinocchio. However, Pinocchio proves to be a mischievous little boy when he runs away from home and causes trouble all over the village. Eventually, the little puppet is thrust into adventure after adventure while his father worriedly continues to look for him.
