Mister Geppetto
Encyclopedia
Mister Geppetto is a fictional character
in the novel The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi
. Geppetto is an elderly, impoverished woodcarver
and the creator (and thus father) of Pinocchio
. He wears a yellow wig that looks like cornmeal mush (or polendina), and subsequently the children of the neighborhood (as well as some of the adults) call him "Polendina", which greatly annoys him. "Geppetto" is a nickname
for Giuseppe.
, seeing a perfect opportunity, Antonio gives the block to Geppetto. Geppetto is extremely poor and plans on making a living as a puppeteer in hopes of earning "a crust of bread and a glass of wine". He carves the block into a boy and names him "Pinocchio". Before he is even built Pinocchio already has a mischievous attitude; no sooner than Geppetto is finished carving Pinocchio's feet does the puppet proceed to kick him. Once the puppet has been finished and Geppetto teaches him to walk, Pinocchio runs out the door and away into the town. He is caught by a carabiniere
(a police officer), but when people say that Geppetto dislikes children, the carabiniere assumes that Pinocchio has been treated poorly and imprisons Geppetto. The next morning, Geppetto is released from jail and finds that Pinocchio's feet have burnt off, so makes his son a new pair of feet. Geppetto has with him three pear
s for a meal, and since Pinocchio says he is starving, Geppetto gives him the pears and teaches Pinocchio to waste nothing. In gratitude, Pinocchio promises to go to school. Since Geppetto has no money to buy school books, he sells his only coat.
Pinocchio disappears when, instead of attending school, he decides to sell his school book and attend a marionette show. Geppetto is next seen when Pinocchio believes that the Fairy with Turquoise Hair has died and a friendly pigeon offers to give him a ride to the seashore, where Geppetto is building a boat
to go out and search for Pinocchio. They fly to the seashore and Pinocchio sees Geppetto out in a boat. The puppet leaps into the water and tries to swim to Geppetto, but the waves are too rough and Pinocchio is washed underwater as Geppetto is swallowed by The Terrible Dogfish
. It is until the dogfish swallows Pinocchio that the two of them meet again. Geppetto has been living on a ship that was also in the dogfish. Pinocchio and Geppetto and a tuna manage to get out from inside the dogfish and Pinocchio heroically attempts to swim with Geppetto to shore, which turns out to be too far; however, the tuna rescues them and brings them to shore.
Pinocchio and Geppetto try to find a place to stay. Pinocchio starts working for a farmer and, after several months of hard work and supporting the ailing Geppetto, he goes to town with what money he has saved to buy himself a new suit, and is separated from Geppetto again. Geppetto and Pinocchio are reunited until the puppet has become a boy, and Geppetto is seen healthy and resuming woodcarving. They live happily ever after.
that Pinocchio could be a real boy. During the night, the Blue Fairy visits the workshop to grant Geppetto's wish. Geppetto discovers that his wish has come true, and is filled with joy. The next day, he sends Pinocchio on his first day of school. Unfortunately, as in the novel, Pinocchio never manages to attend school and instead meets Honest John and Gideon, who convinces him to join Stromboli's puppet show instead. When Pinocchio returns home, he finds the workshop empty and soon learns (from a letter by the Blue Fairy) that Geppetto, while venturing out to sea to rescue Pinocchio from Pleasure Island, had been swallowed by a giant whale named Monstro. Determined to rescue his father, Pinocchio jumps into the bottom of the ocean. However, Pinocchio is soon found and eaten by Monstro, where he is reunited with Geppetto and his pets inside the whale. Pinocchio devises an escape plan by burning wood in order to make Monstro sneeze. The plan works, but the enraged whale gives chase. Eventually, Pinocchio succeeds in getting Geppetto to safety in a cave under a cliff before Monstro rams into it, but Pinocchio dies in the process. As Geppetto mourns the loss, the Blue Fairy decides that Pinocchio has proven himself unselfish and thus fulfills her promise to turn him into a real boy, much to the delight of Geppetto.
Disney's version of Geppetto has also made appearances in Disney's House of Mouse
as well as in the Kingdom Hearts
series of video games in the "Monstro" world.
. He dearly wishes to become a father. One day his wish is granted by the Blue Fairy, and she brings to life a wooden puppet, made by Geppetto, named Pinocchio. In the beginning everything is rosy for the new family, yet slowly things begin to unravel, culminating with Pinocchio running away. Geppetto, thinking Pinocchio would rather live with the evil Stromboli, washes his hands of the whole matter and tries to go back to his lonely life. Stromboli, however, had kidnapped Pinocchio and was using him as the main attraction in his puppet show.
Geppetto finally comes to his senses and goes out to rescue Pinocchio, but Pinocchio has run away from Stromboli to the infamous "Pleasure Island
". On his way there, Geppetto has several chance encounters, including a professor that creates children to precise specifications, and a struggling, traveling magician. Pleasure Island is not all that it seems and Pinocchio is turned into a donkey
, with Geppetto arriving just in time to see Pinocchio and to try and rescue him. They set sail on a small boat, get hit by a storm in the middle of the sea and are swallowed by a whale.
They manage to escape and forgive each other for their wrongs, and Pinocchio is turned into a 'Real Boy' by the end of the movie and all live happily ever after.
