Pinocchio
The fairy tale favourite, Pinocchio, is the tale of a magical puppeteer whose creation has a life of its own.
It is a salutary story showing children that there can be unexpected side effects to lying - but as with all good fairy tales ends happily ever after.
This picture below is of the crew making the set - in a barn with chickens at the other end!
