Details Variety, "The tale of a woodcarver who creates a puppet that has dreams of becoming a real boy first appeared in 1883 in Carlo Collodi's The Adventures of Pinocchio. Walt Disney produced the first feature version of the story with his 1940 feature toon. Francis Ford Coppola tried producing Pinocchio in the early 1990s at Warner Bros., but the project stalled and led to his suit against the studio when he couldn't set it up at Columbia."
