Adapted from the classic children's story by Carlo Collodi, here, Pinocchio (Gabriel Thomson) decides to skip school with his friend Lampwick (Ben Ridgeway) so they can attend a magic carnival run by Madame Flambeau (Udo Kier), who tricks Pinocchio into buying a magic potion that purports to cure any illness. The purchase of the potion forces Pinocchio into a contract with the carnival from which he cannot escape, resulting in an exciting and unforgettable escapade for the magical puppet-boy! Oscar winner Martin Landau stars as the puppetmaker Geppetto in this endearing fantasy tale.
