On this day in 2000, “Geppetto” first aired on ‘The Wonderful World of Disney.’ The live-action musical was a remake of ‘The Adventures of Pinocchio,’ an Italian children’s book by Carlo Collodi. It also wove in a few elements from the 1940 Disney animated film. The program starred Drew Carey as Gepetto, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the Blue Fairy, Brent Spiner as Stromboli, and Seth Adkins as Pinocchio. The original music for “Geppetto” was written by Stephen Schwartz. [25 years ago in 2025]
