Pinocchio
A lonely woodcarver’s enchanted puppet must learn bravery, truth, and selflessness while evading deceitful tricksters, or he’ll never become the real boy he longs to be.
“When you wish upon a star, your dreams come true.”
Synopsis
A kind-hearted woodcarver named Geppetto creates a marionette as a substitute for a son. A kind fairy then brings the wooden figure to life, naming him Pinocchio. Although he is not yet a real boy, Pinocchio has the opportunity to become one by demonstrating that he possesses the qualities of bravery, honesty, and selflessness.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 27
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 63× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
