The Fairy informs him, however, that he is not a real boy yet, and must prove himself brave, truthful, and unselfish in order to become one and learn the difference between right and wrong.

Pinocchio is delighted and surprised at his ability to move and talk. She approaches Pinocchio and brings the puppet to life with a tap of her wand, and his strings vanish without a trace. The wishing star glows brighter, and gets closer to the window eventually, reaching the workshop, it transforms into the Blue Fairy, who is about to make a fateful spell out of Geppetto's wish. He wishes that Pinocchio would become a real boy, before falling asleep. After he, Figaro and Cleo have bidden each other goodnight, the woodcutter gets into bed, to notice a Wishing Star through the window. The bells of the clocks that cover the walls of the workshop indicate that it is now nine o'clock, and Geppetto announces that it is time for bed. Having completed the marionette he names it 'Pinocchio' (which literally means 'Little Wooden Head') and tests it out by walking it around the workshop, to the tune of Little Wooden Head which is played by one of the music boxes. Geppetto greets Cleo, whose bowl sits nearby, and carefully paints eyebrows and a smile on the puppet's face. Crawling up the marionette's strings to hide on a high shelf, he sees Geppetto coming down the stairs with Figaro to finish painting the puppet. As he is admiring the puppet, he hears someone coming.

He then notices a lifeless marionette puppet, sitting on a shelf. He enters the room and warms himself by the fire. Jiminy hops over to the open window and peers in to see a warm fire in a room filled with beautifully carved toys, clocks, music boxes, and puppets. The only building from which light seems to emanate is Geppetto's workshop. Pinocchio's village is introduced at night, with only Gepetto's workshop showing signs of activity. At this point, the viewer enters the story Jiminy is telling through an illustration in the book. He slides down the shelf to the book and opens it, beginning his story in a peaceful village at night, which Jiminy states he was passing through. After the song ends, Jiminy Cricket greets the audience and acknowledges that many may not believe that a wish, as the song states, may come true, and, as proof of the message, decides to tell the story of Pinocchio.

Jiminy Cricket opens the movie singing ' When You Wish Upon A Star' as he sits on a bookshelf, on which various literary classics, such as Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, and Pinocchio can be found, and given a place of prominence. In the decades since its release, the film has been widely considered by many film historians, critics, and pundits to be one of the greatest animated motion pictures ever made. In the 2008 American Film Institute's вЂњTop Ten Animated Feature Films of All TimeвЂќ list, Pinocchio was ranked only behind Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The film has been deemed 'culturally significant' by the Library of Congress in 1994 and was thus selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. Pinocchio also won two Academy Awards for Best Original Song and Best Original Score. The song ' When You Wish Upon a Star,' became a major hit and is still identified with the film, and later as a fanfare for Walt Disney Studios itself.

It premiered in New York City on February 7 and in Los Angeles two days later. The film stars a puppet - brought to life by a fairy - who tries to earn his right to become a real boy, as he faces the challenges and dangers of a dark, hostile world of crooks, villains, and monsters.
