In the 1940s, Disney produced the classic animated musical Pinocchio, based on the novel The Adventures of Pinocchioby Carlo Collodi, first published in 1883. The story is named after its protagonist, a wooden puppet who magically comes to life. Though he is beloved by his maker, he wants nothing more than to become a living, breathing human. Famously, whenever Pinocchio lies, his wooden nose gets longer, which serves as a metaphor for morality. The story is primarily about why lying is bad and why children should always tell the truth, because lies can only grow and grow.
