The Fun that Grows And Grows And Grows! His All New Marvelous Magical Movie!
PINOCCHIO'S STORYBOOK ADVENTURES combines live action and animation in a film for children that follows the famous puppet through a new set of adventures revolving around his efforts to put on puppet show for Maestro Eisenbeiss who is sick with a cold. Over the protestations of Mr. Cargill, the Maestro's ill-tempered assistant who doesn't think Pinocchio will do a good job, the Maestro agrees to let Pinocchio put on the show. Pinocchio convinces the other puppets to pitch in and do their best for the waiting and anxious children, but Pinocchio has problems getting the curtain up. Just at that moment the suspicious Cargill drops in, sees Pinocchio's difficulties and insists that the ailing Maestro come and see what is going on. The Maestro arrives and sees that the children are actually enjoying themselves tremendously. He stays to watch Pinocchio's show which includes three animated adventures. The first is the exciting story of a small dog and his young friend who are stranded on an ice floe and drifting out to sea. At the last possible moment they are rescued by a passing ship. Next comes the classic fairytale of Sleeping Beauty complete with the evil witch and the handsome Prince. The third tale concerns three poor carpenters who come to the aid of an elf in distress and are given one wish apiece as a reward by the grateful elf. The impulsively made wishes give reality to the old adage, "be careful what you wish for, you just might get it" with hilarious results.
