Pinocchio: The Series - S01

<p>This version of Pinocchio tells the story of an extremely gullible, naive and morally confused wooden doll brought to life by a mystical blue fairy. Pinocchio (Mokku) has many character faults which he must learn to overcome in order to be worthy of being granted humanity. Some of these faults include selfishness, rudeness, insensitivity, indolence, obstinacy, over-trusting, self-pity, stupidity, disobedience, compulsive lying, arrogance, greed, cowardice, recklessness, cruelty, foolishness and an inability to learn from mistakes.</p> <p>Throughout the entire series, Pinocchio (Mokku),partly because of his own delinquency and repeated disobedience, must endure other costly ordeals of hardship and pain, in which he is continuously tormented, persecuted, bullied, humiliated, tricked, ridiculed, ostracised, beaten, downtrodden and subjected to degrading and inhumane treatment. Its plain depiction of the harsh reality of what it would be like to be literally subhuman growing up in a world of danger and hardship makes this another good example of traditional Japanese stories, which teach moral observance through tough endurance.</p>
