[Music]
me from a dream
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
it was a beautiful day and Anna was
practicing on her new violin
it wasn't long before her music
attracted an audience
although Anna was not a professional she
played well and Pinocchio was impressed
he wanted to get as close as he could to
the wonderful music
[Music]
I can't believe how beautiful you play
let me try it all right but you must
promise to be careful right I promise
this is the prettiest violin in the
world
that's the way Pinocchio very good
with a little encouragement from Anna
Pinocchio's confidence grew suddenly he
was playing like an expert it was a
lively tune and it was very hard for him
to keep still he was dancing and leaving
about as carefree as could be perhaps
just a little too Carefree
[Music]
oh
[Applause]
[Music]
oh
what have you done Pinocchio you
promised me you'd be careful and you've
completely broken it apart Papa bought
me this violin for my birthday it was
very special oh I'm terribly sorry Anna
is going to be furious I'd be happy to
buy you a new one without any money what
are you thinking of you're right guess
I'm Dreaming again I must be the
clumsiest puppet in the world
oh hey my father could build you a new
violin he's a master Carpenter so he'd
make it perfectly
You couldn't possibly mean it yes Father
I must find a way to replace the violin
but I've never made an instrument like
that in my whole life Pinocchio but
father you make all sorts of things out
of wood it's just not the same thing
everybody's gonna hate me I won't have
any friends you don't
course I love you Pinocchio will you
will you will bring me the proper wood I
will try to make you one you're the best
pile of puppet ever had father I'll find
some wood
almost forgot
promised but I don't like this I don't
like this a bit
off Pinocchio wet in search of the
perfect wood for the new violin he 'll
go quite deep in deep into the woods in
order to find just the right maple tree
and of course the woods can be a very
frightening place to be when you're all
by yourself
foreign
it was so still and quiet that it almost
felt like he was the only one there but
he wasn't
a couple of spiders had dropped by oh
and one of them had decided to come
along for a ride
but it didn't seem to be a very welcome
visitor get off me there
[Music]
as Pinocchio struggled to catch his
breath a shadow appeared a shadow that
was moving very quickly
it was a maple tree more magnificent
than any he had seen before it hadn't
been there a moment ago
this tree seems to stretch up to the sky
but how could a tree just appear out of
nowhere
[Music]
I'm frightened by this moment
no need to be frightened
I'm the guardian of this ancient maple
tree I won't harm you the guardian
that's right this tree is 1 000 years
old and I take care of it come closer
young man you really won't hurt me not
the slightest all right I merely wish to
tell you a little bit about its history
it may be hard for human being to
understand but I'm not a human being
even though I often wish I were I'm a
puppet made of wood that came from a
tree goodness maybe you're just the
fellow we've been waiting for this maple
tree has lived a very unhappy life but
most folks would be very sympathetic
being made of wood yourself perhaps
you'd be more apt to be interested or am
I boring you no I'd love to hear more
let me give you an example if I made
once in the time of the Egyptians there
was a sl*ve attempting to escape
now before I go on have you heard of the
Egyptians do you remember your father
ever telling you about them I remember
the very noble people from the past who
unfortunately kept slaves
The Story begins long long ago when this
maple tree lived in in the far away land
of Egypt the sl*ve would run away was
being closely pursued by his merciless
captors
they were intent on finding him and
punishing him severely just thought
there was nowhere to hide he saw a maple
tree which was happy to Shield him from
his cruel pursuers
the sl*ve was so grateful to the tree
that he swore his Everlasting friendship
and to prove it was true he began to
play a beautiful song on his harp the
tree loved music so the sl*ve played
louder
he played so loud that the hunters also
heard him and his fate was sealed
you see everything this tree has tried
to do has turned out poorly it's very
sad every time he makes an attempt to be
kind and thoughtful it simply ends up
backfiring on him he's become very old
and would be happy
's life behind but he wishes he were
able to perform one good deed that was
sure to turn out well before he gives
himself to the lightning and then
departs from this world forever hey Mr
maple tree could help me out planning he
totally not move back now
history
before it allows itself to be burnt away
to leave you one piece of wood which you
may use to make your violin but be
careful for this violin they have
staying and not moving properties since
it comes from such an ancient and
magical tree now may the fire consume it
and all of its memories remember the
violin must be used carefully very very
carefully
maybe it can be done after all
it'll work through the night and by
early next morning the violin was
finished Geppetto was exhausted
Pinocchio and his friends couldn't wait
to see it
the violin's finished
my father's a brilliant Carpenter
what what kind of violin is that
for its shape huh maybe it's meant for
boxing with
I'd be embarrassed to play an instrument
like that I'll try to wake him up please
father
my father bought me a piano perhaps
you'd better keep this thanks anyway
real brilliant carpentry work
[Music]
huh
how could you
you made a fool of me I'm sorry
ah dumb violin it's father's fault
I must be misbehaving Don't Run Away
From Me Pinocchio stay it was
Pinocchio's Fairy Godmother
you're being very foolish this dumb
violin is more foolish
no it's a pig's nose because you've
behaved so badly your father worked very
hard but you're an ungrateful boy I
suppose father had to work all night to
build this violin that's right and where
did the wood come from that was used to
make it from an old maple tree that I
met while I was out walking in the woods
The Last Remnant of the Maple and you'd
Smash It To Pieces without any thought
at all guess I didn't think about it
it's up to you to keep the memory of the
maple tree alive Pinocchio when played
properly this violin will make the most
beautiful music imaginable but you must
be worthy to play it oh I'm ashamed you
would never forget that you were also
made of wood and should be respectful of
the Old Maple when you've learned to
play the violin you may find that it
will help you become a real boy I know
that's very important to you playing
this violin well might help me become a
real boy it's very possible so think
about it Pinocchio
[Applause]
with that final bit of advice the oak
fairy left
and soon Pinocchio was hard at work
practicing his violin playing but
practice wasn't making perfect
[Music]
definitely the most
sound I've ever heard
[Music]
get me a break my eardrums are bursting
I'm quiet
[Music]
how am I ever gonna be able to learn how
to play this violin what on Earth was my
fairy Godmother thinking about
this thing can't be played my father
just didn't get it right
[Music]
meanwhile in the lands near where
Pinocchio lived there had been a
terrible drought the land was dry and
nothing would grow
it's absolutely hopeless I tell you
hopeless
it feels to me like we may never have
rainfall again I'm just about ready to
pack it all like we're children I feel
badly for they've no food to eat I can't
bear to see them hungry I've been a
farmer for many years but I've never
seen anything like this life can be so
cruel sometimes
being a human is hard
maybe I can cheer them up with some
violin music
I almost forgot the horrible music I
make wouldn't cheer anyone up perhaps
playing is a good idea
you would be doing a very good deed
helping to cheer the farmers up play for
them Pinocchio hmm
[Music]
laughs
Pinocchio played his violin and the
music was beautiful huh huh yes yes
oh yes
as Pinocchio continued to play the
farmers began to forget their troubles
the tune was the loveliest they'd ever
heard it was as beautiful as the song
the sl*ve had played for the maple tree
in the days of the Pharaohs
as Pinocchio played with no thought for
himself the magic of the maple tree
began to take effect and the clouds
began to darken
the spirit of the maple tree and the
sl*ve would live so long ago brought
rain to the Thirsty land
we're saved it's a miracle the rain is
back
the beautiful water began to nourish the
dry arid land and still Pinocchio played
on
he had played from his heart and created
something wonderful
I can't believe it I actually made music
the oak fairy was right this will be the
most amazing instrument the world's ever
heard
soon Pinocchio had traveled to the
King's Castle and was gathering quite a
crowd here we are ladies against the
most amazing violin playing in the world
from the miracle violin player what
would you like me to play I'd prefer you
played a romantic song Yes nonsense play
us a happy song come on boy play a song
yeah that's right boy we're tired of
your talk if you're such a good musician
show us
for all this he better be good
[Music]
I am prepared to begin hurry up and play
then boy
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
give it all fast
oh
[Music]
you'll pay for this puppet boy
[Music]
oh
we believe in severe punishment for
frauds and thieves the king May sentence
you to be kept in his present forever no
you'll be sorry you tried that nonsense
around here
you seem to be in a bit of trouble
Pinocchio could it be you Cricket you
must help me I'm desperate you've
managed to mess up pretty badly this
time Pinocchio I'm not sure if I can but
it's not my fault at all this violin
keeps letting me down I've been good
honest you can be so frustrating to deal
with you must be prepared to accept
winning yourself the violin won't play
what I wanted to why should I blame
myself for it tell me that you're
impossible goodbye wait don't leave me
good morning
suddenly Pinocchio realized if the
window was open why not Escape
[Music]
oh dear I certainly hope this works it
would be embarrassing to fail in front
of the entire Royal Court there he is
now I understand that he's the famous
doctor well I certainly hope he can cure
I wonder if she'll ever speak again well
he better give her the Kings out of
patience it's true princess Penelope
hasn't spoken for a month now the last
fella who failed didn't do so well I'm
certainly glad I'm not him
[Music]
[Applause]
turn back
in bed step forward Dr defen Baker and
speak to us I am pleased to announce
I've discovered a cure for muteness a
sip of my potion and Princess Penelope
will warm like a sparrow traffic like a
magpie chirp like a song we wanted to
speak not fly like a bird I'm only
interested in results your medicine had
better work though I'm sure it will sire
have the princess drink from this glass
and should be cured forever
here you go my dear please make me happy
and drink some of this
it just breaks my heart not to have you
speak to us
swallowed every drop I'm proud of you
sweetheart now speak to your mother
shatter like a magpie if you wish she
won't speak one word this medicine
doesn't work at all
[Music]
worked on his
hmm I just thought of a great plan what
you must be lonely how could I possibly
do that I'm just a puppet forget it you
haven't heard the details yet it might
be simpler than you think listen up
you must be the dumbest guard in the
world
I happen to be a very smart guy got a
problem with your helmet
I'm the famous Pinocchio I'm capable of
fixing the princess's problem boy that's
a pack alive you Fibber I was kind of
hoping you were brighter than you look
but I guess you're dumb all right I'm as
bright as they come then imagine if
you're wrong you'd be being disloyal to
the king and imagine what a hero you'd
be if I cured her because you'd be the
one who found me you'd probably be
knighted and made head guard hmm I'm on
my way
so you're the famous Pinocchio are you
well you don't impress me but apparently
you claim to be a Healer who can cure my
daughter if you fail you regret fooling
with me what method will you use to cure
her music music of the violin what
nonsense sees him
come and please my Lord I believe that
the body is ruled by the spirit I feel
that the princess's sickness comes from
her heart not from her body we have
nothing to lose by letting him try my
Lord
you may play but do not fail
please don't feel me violin I'm not
doing this for the reward I'm doing it
to help this little girl get better
besides these people don't look like
they'd be too nice to me if I fail
oh I hope he's thinking kind thoughts
[Music]
as Pinocchio played something miraculous
occurred
[Music]
dreams
[Music]
the music was delightful
and it was hard for anyone not to want
to dance along
Kyo continued to play there were more
and more wonders
[Music]
there were puppets of every shape and
description
as well as Dancing Dragons
and they were every color of the rainbow
there were dancing Birds
and marching to the b*at of the drums
the Bears Brigade
there were so many wonderful images
contained within the music
Pinocchio wasn't playing for himself he
was playing to help someone else so the
magic of the wood helped him to create
the most delightful music that anyone in
the court had ever heard
a change began to come over the princess
oh
[Music]
just wonderful please don't stop
the princess has spoken an absolute
Miracle
oh mother
the plan had worked yay for Pinocchio
[Music]
Mighty fishy about this
[Music]
Pinocchio had managed to cure the
princess but it seemed that the king and
his ministers had more in mind than
simply rewarding him and whatever it was
it didn't look good
[Applause]
