... the tale of Snow White. I wonder if there are any other... tales out there like this.

Of course! Hmmm, which one... how about the tale of the wooden puppet boy, Pinocchio?
video
Please.
video
Once upon a time, there was a toymaker named Geppetto. He made all kinds of beautiful toys for children to play with. However, he was very sad, because he wanted a child of his own. He even carved a wooden puppet and named it Pinocchio, pretending it was his son. One night, he saw a wishing star in the sky, and wished for a real child to take care of and love. When he went to bed, the wishing star came into his toy shop... for his wish had reached the Blue Fairy, and she decided to grant him that wish!

... the Blue Fairy?

The Blue Fairy gave Pinocchio life, but he was still a wooden puppet. He asked if he could ever be a real boy, and the Fairy told him that someday, if he was good and let his conscious be his guide, that this wish would come true too. She then granted a small cricket the job of being his conscious... Jiminy Cricket. When Geppetto woke up, he was surprised and overjoyed to see that Pinocchio was alive! They played all through the night, and Geppetto vowed to be a good father to his new son. So he decided to let Pinocchio go to school!

[Ah, the tiny cricket *A* she remembers him.]

But, when Pinocchio and Jiminy were on their way to school, a devious fox named Foulfellow and a silly cat named Gideon saw him, and they were very surprised to see a living wooden boy. They decided to trick Pinocchio in order to get some money. They told Pinocchio to not go to school, and instead join them to be an actor. Jiminy told Pinocchio not to do it, but he wouldn't listen, and followed the fox and the cat. Foulfellow and Gideon sold Pinocchio to a puppeteer named Stromboli, and Pinocchio's singing and dancing earned a lot of money. But when Pinocchio asked to go home to see his father... Stromboli locked him up in a cage!

Stromboli said he'd never let the boy go because of all the money he could make, and left to plan the next show. Pinocchio cried and cried for his father, and then the Blue Fairy suddenly arrived! She asked him why he didn't go to school, and he lied, saying giants kidnapped him. But when he lied, his nose grew! The more lies he said, the bigger his nose grew, and only by telling the truth would it shrink. The Blue Fairy helped him out of the cage, but said it would be the last time she would help. Pinocchio promised to listen to Jiminy, and to go school the very next day.

However, when the next day came, Foulfellow and Gideon found him again! And they tricked him again! And again, he didn't listen to Jiminy! This time the fox and the cat sold him to a peddler who was collecting naughty young boys. The peddler took them to a special place called Pleasure Island. There, boys could be naughty all they wanted - smoking cigars, breaking furniture, causing fights, and Pinocchio did it all. When Pinocchio began missing his father again, he looked around the island for a way out... but instead, he found that all of the boys... were turning into donkeys!
video; first few parts of that paragraph sounded so wrong to me I am so sorry gjfhfc
okay, that's new.]
... they.. turned into donkeys? How?
video; MINNIE IS OLD FOLKSY, SHE STILL THINKS OF GAY AS HAPPY
It affected Pinocchio too... he grew donkey ears, and a donkey tail! But this time, he finally listened to Jiminy, and got off the island before he was turned completely into a donkey. He ran straight home, only to find Geppetto missing. While Pinocchio was gone, Geppetto had gotten so worried and had left to search for him. Now Pinocchio and Jiminy began to search for him, and they found out Geppetto had used a small boat to search over the sea. Pinocchio and Jiminy went to the sea to look for Gepptetto... but then, a giant whale swallowed them whole!

... normally that's when... Sora and the others found them.

It was very scary, because the inside of the whale was very dark. But to their surprise, Geppetto was in the whale too! While looking for his son, he'd also gotten swallowed up! Pinocchio wanted to save his father and Jiminy and make up for all the trouble he caused. So, using the boat, he created a fire, and the smoke caused the whale to cough them up. But then the whale was very angry with them, and chased them up to some dangerous rocks. Pinocchio pushed his father out of the way, and took the whale's attack...
... and when Geppetto and Jiminy found Pinocchio on the shore... he wasn't moving.

This doesn't sound like a happy ending!!]
W-what happened to him?
[... he was just a puppet. Of course he wouldn't...]
video;
Geppetto and Jiminy cried and cried... They took Pinocchio home, and laid him to bed. But as they cried, they were visited once more by the Blue Fairy. Pinocchio's quick thinking, courage, and love for his family and friends had proven that he was a real boy on the inside. So she used her magic to turn his wood into flesh... and now he was a real boy inside and out. He jumped out of bed, and hugged his father! They danced with Jiminy all through the night, and they lived happily ever after.
