Plot
The film tells about the adventures of a small wooden puppet whose youngest viewers are familiar with the book where Carlo Collodi tells the adventures of Pinocchio. In fact, Burattino is a puppet in the first version of the novel.
English dubs
In 1984, an English dub of the film was recorded at Jim Terry Productions (the same people behind the first English dub of the Pinocchio anime). This dub was released on subsequent VHS tapes throughout the 80s and early 90s. A second attempt at an English dub commenced in 1990, and a third in 1995 by Films by Jove for the series Stories from My Childhood.
