OK, technically these aren't Pinocchio movies, but Pinocchio is a major supporting character throughout the Shrek franchise. Like in his origin story, he's a puppet who wishes to be a real boy (a dream that briefly comes true in "Shrek 2"). Like the other fairytale creatures, he's usually used for comic relief. In the first "Shrek," Geppetto sells him to Lord Farquad, and he's dumped in Shrek's swamp not long after. In "Shrek Forever After," he tries to sell Geppetto to Rumpelstiltskin in order to become a real boy. He's also set to appear in "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" — and perhaps, this time, his dream will come true for good.
