Geppetto

Geppetto is Pinocchio's father and a woodcarver in Pinocchio's Village. He is very caring and kind to Pinocchio.

In the original movie:

Geppetto first appears in front of his house and sighs, before starting to work on his wooden table. Afterwards he finds a piece of wood that turns alive and persuades him to make it a boy. When he finishes, Geppetto names the puppet "Pinocchio" and then the two begin to live as father and son. After having a fatherly time with his son, Geppetto becomes upset with Pinocchio's bratty behavior and leaves to buy bread and school books for his son, selling his coat as well. When Pinocchio lost his money, Geppetto gets angry at him, asking Pinocchio about where are his money. After Pinocchio lies to his dad, his nose grows and grows until it reaches the ceiling, leaving Geppetto shocked. After Pinocchio says the truth, he is relieved and hugs his son.

When Pinocchio gets bullied, Geppetto steps up and stops his son from hitting Candlewick, telling him that he is going to become "the best puppet in the world" if he respects and doesn't get into fights with his fellow students.

After he learns that Pinocchio is missing, Geppetto sets out to find his son, but he gets swallowed by a whale. When Pinocchio ends up in the whale's belly, he reunites with his son and tries to escape. After he returns to the village, Geppetto becomes extremely sick and Pinocchio works hard, in order to cure his father, until he is cured. When Pinocchio shows his father that he is turned into a real boy, Geppetto becomes happy and dances with his son.

In Pinocchio and Friends:

Geppetto is a minor character in the series. He is different from the original movie. He is now cheerful, jolly and good humored, kinda like his Disney counterpart. However, he still doesn't want his son to get into trouble. Sometimes he wants Pinocchio to help him with his job and take care of him. Throughout the series, it has been revealed, that he has a nephew, another son and a wife. When he was a young man, he fell in love with a woman named Leona. They got married and had a son named Aesop. But their marriage didn't last for long. Because both of them didn't have money, Leona decided to move with her son, leaving Geppetto alone. This led to him, becoming a woodcarver and eventually creating Pinocchio.

In "Pinocchio's Long Lost Brother", Geppetto meets Leona for the first time, in many years and both of them are finally together. From now on, Pinocchio and Aesop have their parents reunited once more.
