The new adventures of pinocchio duck luck


The New Adventures of Pinocchio is a syndicated stop motion animated television series produced by Rankin/Bass Productions in the United States and made by Dentsu Studios in Japan. Created by Arthur Rankin, Jr. and his partner Jules Bass, it was based on the book The Adventures of Pinocchio written by Italian author, Carlo Collodi. The series was Rankin/Bass' first production to be made in "Animagic", a stop motion puppet technique which, in association with the company, was done by Tadahito Mochinaga's MOM Productions (before Mochinaga leaves for China after the finished animation for Mad Monster Party?). A total of 130 five-minute "chapters" were produced in 1960–61. These segments made up a series of five-chapter, 25-minute episodes. During 1963–64, the series was also aired in Japan on Fuji TV as part of another stop motion TV series, Prince Ciscorn (シスコン王子, lit. Ciscorn Ōji), based on the manga by Fujiko Fujio and also produced by Tadahito Mochinaga for Studio KAI and Dentsu.

Summary

The series is narrated by an old wood carver Geppetto who explains on how he made a magically living puppet named Pinocchio, who can walk, jump, run and other things without strings. In addition, Pinocchio is also known to have his nose grow whenever he tell any lies on anything be it right or wrong. Displeased with the need to continue living as a puppet, Pinocchio sets off on a journey with his friend Cricket to find the Blue Fairy who can transform him into a real boy (in other words, a human) with her magic. But along the way, Pinocchio and Cricket encounters the two anthropomorphic animal cons, Foxy Q. Fibble and Cool S. Cat, as well as the greatest adventure, mishappening, danger and excitement than they would ever imagine.
