[Music]
me from a dream
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
in our last episode Geppetto used the
wood of a magical maple tree to carve a
violin for Pinocchio the violin probe is
wonderful as the wood from which it came
granted the wishes of any who played it
as long as he did so for the good of
others Pinocchio played it for princess
Penelope and so delighted was she that
for the first time in memory she laughed
the curse of Silence was lifted from her
[Music]
butterflies have all flown off can you
make any more of them sure princess just
watch
[Music]
these are even more beautiful than the
others just look at them
oh here I am being selfish would you
care to dance Pinocchio boy I'd be
honored princess for the first time in a
long time the walls of the castle Echo
with the sounds of music and happiness
but not everyone in the kingdom is
Overjoyed with this turn of events there
are those who fear this strange violin
and its magical powers one of these is
Princess Penelope's father the king
gentlemen as you are my counselors I
expect you to advise me as to how we
should deal with this Pinocchio fellow
and his violin it seems to me the answer
is simple your majesty think what our
Army and Navy could do with the weapons
this violin can produce make him play it
your idea has some Merit General zul but
we mustn't forget the Gratitude we owe
him he did cure my daughter of her
Affliction after all I don't think we
should force him to do anything he make
him play it and jump over his head if he
won't calm down just because your
minister of w*r there's no need to get
violent besides what's the rush the boy
seems to like it here he's not going
anywhere I agree we'll have plenty of
time to decide on this later no
later it will be too late Her Majesty if
we wait any longer that puppet May
exhaust the magic of the violin oh
that's right if can't go on producing
things forever and while we sit here
wasting time he's using up its power by
creating such stupidities as toy
soldiers and butterflies when what we
really need are g*ns and battleships and
gold remember General that's the king
you're speaking to that's right so keep
your big nose out of it old man well of
all the nerve
gentlemen I won't stand for this
bickering the decision is mine to make
and I'll make it in due time
[Music]
the puppet Pinocchio creates an audience
your majesty excellent excellent come
forward Pinocchio
I most certainly did little fellow I
have something in mind that you could
help me with oh anything your majesty
you only have to ask good because this
is important oh it is
come closer boy don't be bashful you'll
see his King I'm responsible for the
upkeep of the entire Kingdom and all the
people in it of course it requires a
great deal of money for example I have
to make churches and build Bridges and
repair roads and all that sort of thing
by yourself
I'm afraid you don't quite understand I
have to pay out of my treasury to make
these things happen they all cost money
they're very expensive now if you could
play your violin and bring you a lot of
gold I could pay for all these things
and everybody would be happy no I'm
afraid I couldn't do that I'm sorry oh
I'm sure you could if you put your mind
to it I'm not supposed to ever use the
violin for things like that I made the
solemn promise to the maple tree
so
does this mean you refuse to grant me
this favor I'm sorry but I'm only
supposed to use it for the good of
others not for Golden riches well it's
for my good your little pup and I want
that gold do you know what happens to
those who disobey me no
you will play your violin and fill my
coppers with gold
again now for the last time you will do
as I ask or you will pay with your life
I am okay okay okay excellent enough
much better a young fellow like you
should learn to be obedient to his
elders
now let's hear that violin of yours
please forgive me violin but I have no
choice he'll k*ll me if I don't play you
[Laughter]

you will not use me to satisfy your
greed shame on you
sure
you're selfish ingratitude is
Unforgivable
you are not worthy to sit upon her own
or wear a crown
shame on you

so I thought you could make a fool of me
in front of my entire court no King it
wasn't my doing guards take him and
throw him into the deepest darkest
dungeon we've got
Savior Please for the prison rats away
with him I say
thank you
speak to me of forgiveness what he did
is unforgivable he'll remain in that
dungeon for the rest of his life
have you forgotten that I found my voice
again because of him silence daughter I
hear no more about it ladies take your
misters away
Oh Come My Lady
what's happened to you father there's
been a terrible change in you
she's right I'm a different man than I
was before all because of this there's
been nothing but trouble since that
thing came into the castle what if there
are more of these wretched violins
spread throughout the kingdom all of
them singing songs that mock me that
would be terribly bad for disciplined
sire
search that Kingdom find the man
responsible for making this a cursed
instrument and bring him here onto your
majesty
now there must be some mistake I've done
nothing
welcome to your new home
is it your father Pinocchio
oh Father
but what's happened why have they put
you here I don't understand it at all
they say it was because I made that
violin of yours do you know anything
about this Pinocchio oh Father it's all
my fault having failed to obtain more
g*ns and ships from the magic violin
General Zuul has decided to use the
weapons already at his command to get
even
listen then if the king and his cowardly
ministers have their way this Kingdom
will remain weak forever we have to stop
them the king is old and tired he must
be replaced by someone younger and
Bolder that here by nominate myself
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
fight bravely and you will be well
rewarded as king I promise to double
your pain give you stake and kidney pies
every Sunday
[Applause]
[Music]
oh dear I had no idea what I made it
that violin would possess such wonderful
powers
we could use some of that violin's
wonderful powers right now couldn't we
father I'm afraid it may be too late for
that Pinocchio
their eyes follow the column of smoke to
the Courtyard below where a frightful
scene is unfolding
[Music]
get out of me
please mother stop it don't let him do
it
if I can't use it then no one will no
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
your majesty General zul's attacking the
castle the General's attacking why that
trigger
[Music]
holders forward to Victory take the
castle and everyone did it
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
oh
[Applause]
[Music]
results
[Applause]
nursing round up the King's Men and take
them prisoner
the violin it's our only chance now what
general zulas occupied the castle you
say yes your majesty he's taken all your
men prisoner I'm done for there's
nothing left for me to do but surrender
don't despair
oh my dear
at that moment the king's Last Hope
indeed everyone's Last Hope was racing
toward the dungeons at the hands of the
princess
[Music]
father it's the princess Pinocchio about
I brought to violin we must
the castle is mine your majesty stay
back you know right barging into the
throne room I warn you keep away from
the King I'm the king now old man leave
him alone if I were you I'd be a little
more concerned about myself your majesty
[Music]
as the wicked General zul holds the king
c*ptive in the throne room below
Pinocchio plays on the magical violin in
a desperate attempt to free himself from
the dungeon and save the princess's
father
[Music]
why I've never seen anything like it
what a wonderful violin and to think
that I made it myself
amazing
oh Pinocchio are you all right
what on Earth's going on around here
anyway
danger if your father hadn't been so
greedy this might not have happened
you're his only hope
you want me to save him
but he
please
no you're asking too much
[Music]
saw him yourself he tried to burn the
violin and he put father in me in this
dungeon I can't help somebody who's so
wicked not even if he is your father I'm
sorry for what he did to you I know it
was wrong really wrong but you must
believe me he's always been a kind and
gentleman until that violin came into
his life that's what changed him
please please forgive him Pinocchio
but
you must try to be understanding my boy
the violin's wonderful powers make some
men lose sight of their better nature
why even you have been guilty of such
feelings so don't judge him too harshly
if what she says about her father is
true he's a good man at heart and it's
up to us to give him a second chance
now enough wasting time you know what
I'm here for give me the violin where is
it I'm afraid that I burned the violin
General stop playing games with me
barely expect to believe that tell me
the truth
nothing remains of it but Cinder well
I'll make a search of this Castle from
top to bottom and if I should find the
filing I'll be very upset
huh
[Music]
what the devil's going on here uh-huh
[Music]
it's all burned to a Christmas it seems
in pretty good shape to me
foreign
what should I do about Pinocchio nothing
nothing at all let him keep on playing I
like the sound of that
Charming you're playing a song in honor
of my victory is that it little fellow
hey
he wouldn't do for the King Lear tune
that was some of the pin of gold to fill
his chamber and I just didn't grateful
enough to let you live my friend
[Laughter]
[Music]
please grant me this One Last Wish
and so Pinocchio played as he had never
played before the general was delighted
with what he heard as he listened to the
passionate music fill the throne room he
felt certain that the violin was about
to bring forth something Beyond his
wildest dreams
and he was right
for suddenly Before Their Eyes the
violin began to change and from
somewhere within it there came forth a
soldier he was joined by another and
another and soon there appeared
roll-upon role of soldiers a huge Army
of ghostly Warriors marching forth to
battle
[Music]
unbelievable all these soldiers for me
this is even better than gold
[Music]
why would this Army I can conquer the
world I can steal all the gold I want
[Laughter]
[Music]
attack a general throw him and his men
out of the castle at once why he wants
to be mad
man
stop stop hold on a minute I'm sure we
can come to a rational agreement
[Music]
not long ago I was ready to burn that
violin
[Music]
like an Unstoppable flood the army of
soldiers poured out onto the field
before the castle the general and his
men stood waiting for them
[Music]
yo cringing
diamonds
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
[Music]
played for no other reason than just to
make music
though I suppose we all do have a lot to
thank it for
thanks to it the general Was Defeated
and the prince's family was saved we
mustn't ever forget what a powerful
w*apon it is when used for good don't
worry I won't
[Music]
you never expected to see me again did
you now give me the fire
well well what do you know it looks like
I've won after all
now then let's see I want soldiers lots
of soldiers give me an army Fit For A
King
[Music]
oh stop it you're breaking it
he's some drunk
so you won't play for me well then you
won't play for anyone
oh
[Music]
well I've done the best I could with it
why don't you try playing a little
something on it
poor thing my poor little violin let's
see if you're better now
thank your father for putting me back
together and thank you for showing me so
much of your world quite a lot has
happened to all of us since your father
fashioned me from the wood of the maple
tree
now I'm tired my powers are nearly spent
and I wish to go home again build a fire
Pinocchio and place me in the Flames so
that my ashes may be returned to the
heart of the maple tree from whence they
came
will you do this for me
I wish there was another way but goodbye
violin
don't be sad Pinocchio it's best that I
know you have learned that my powers can
only be used in the cause of good and
that is well
but there are others in your world that
will never understand this and for them
I will always be a terrible Temptation
I'm going now but I will be with you
always
until we meet again my friend
[Applause]
until Pinocchio did as he had been told
once the Embers had cooled he gathered
up all the ashes of the violin and
carried them to where the shattered
trunk of the old maple tree still stood
his heart full of sadness he poured the
ashes into the tree restoring them once
they came
it was like saying goodbye to a friend
Father something's happening why it's
sprouting a bud
you see Pinocchio the spirit of the
maple tree is Immortal it never really
dies
just imagine in another thousand years
or so
of course by that time this tiny bottle
be a maple tree just as big and
wonderful as the old one isn't that
right and then we'll come back and make
a new violin huh oh well if we don't I'm
sure someone will
[Music]
[Music]
thank you
thank you
