Pinocchio is a fictional character that first appeared in 1883, in The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi, (Italian Children's Writer) and has since appeared in many adaptations of that story and others. Carved from a piece of pine by a woodcarver named Geppetto in a small Italian village, he was created as a wooden puppet, but dreamt of becoming a real boy.

The name Pinocchio is a Tuscan word meaning "pine nut".

For Walt Disney, Pinocchio was their second film and was released to theaters on February 7, 1940.
