But the mischievous puppet runs away from home, skips school, and falls for every trick and temptation he encounters. Despite the wise counsel of the Blue Fairy and the guidance of the Talking Cricket, Pinocchio can't resist adventure and trouble. He's tricked by the cunning Fox and Cat who try to steal his gold and hang him, transformed into a donkey at the Land of Toys, and ultimately swallowed by a giant whale where he's reunited with Geppetto.
