In the final session Pinocchio and his father Geppetto are finally reunited.
3. Pinocchio and Geppetto are reunited
The final session features a dangerous journey through the insides of a shark, where Pinocchio helps Geppetto escape. On a farm, Pinocchio learns to work hard (lifting, carrying, digging etc) to help his father recover, and to help the kind fairy, who is also ill. Waking from a dream, Pinocchio has become a real boy…and everyone dances for joy!
