Transcript

The House of Squib presents Academy Award. Every week, Squib brings you Hollywood's finest. The great picture plays the great actors and actresses, techniques and skills chosen from the honor roll of those who have won or been nominated for, the famous golden Oscar of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science.

And now, ER Squib and Sons manufacturing chemists to the medical profession since 1858 bring you one of the most delightful fantasies ever presented on the screen. Walt Disney's famous Pinocchio, the picture of which for best original musical score and best song of the year won the 1940 Academy Award.

This is the story of a little boy who was carved out of wood. His name was Pinocchio because he was a very good little boy when all was said and done. He became a real little boy like you and lived happily ever after.

If he hadn't been a good little boy in the end and stopped disobeying those who loved him, he might have ended up just a pile of shavings, or even a toothpick. So you'd better be good.

And listen to the story of Pinocchio. There was a kind old man named Japetto, who made Pinocchio out of the very finest wood. But he loved him so much, he hoped and hoped little Pinocchio might be real and be a son to him in his old age.

Oh, look at him! He almost looks alive. Wouldn't it be nice if he was a real boy? Oh, well, come on, we go to sleep. But first I must open the window. Oh, how good you look, the wishing star!

Starlight, star bright! First star I see tonight! I wish I may, I wish I might have the wish I make tonight! When you wish upon a star! I'm Jiminy Cricket! I'm wishing with old man Jepetto!
