Geppetto is a lonely puppetmaker whose wooden creations are the only family he knows. Years ago, he and his sweetheart Leona carved their names into a trunk of an old pine tree in Hidden Valley. But Geppetto was unable to declare his love, and Leona married his brother instead. Now, the magic of Hidden Valley is about to change Geppetto's life. One day, as he is traveling through the forest, a log from that forgotten tree-trunk finds its way into his wheelbarrow. Surprised by this mystical offering, he is inspired to carve his most wondrous masterpiece -- a puppet he lovingly names Pinocchio, who magically begins to walk and talk!
