What a lot of people don’t realize is that the famous song from Pinocchio was never meant to be taken literally. It’s meant to be about holding onto hope, not waiting for stuff you want to come to you.
You remember in The Princess and the Frog when Tiana’s father said the star would only take her part of the way there? That’s what happened in Pinocchio. Geppetto wished for Pinocchio to be a real boy, and the Blue Fairy brought him to life…but he was still made of wood, and he didn’t become a real boy until the very end of the film when he sacrificed himself to earn his reward.
