''Kashi no Ki Mokku'' (known as ''Pinocchio: The Series'' in the Western world) is an anime adaptation of the story of Pinocchio, made by TatsunokoProductions. It ran for 52 episodes in 1972 on Fuji Television. In 1990, SabanEntertainment adapted the series into English. This version ran on HBO in 1992 and all over the world via FoxKids. Another dub was made in the mid-80s, this time of several episodes cut together into movie form. This version was made by HarmonyGold.

Unlike the Disney version, this version is far more like Carlo Collodi's original story, which was rather dark. In one infamous episode Pinocchio tries to kill a boy and take his heart to become human. Pinocchio himself was characterized as being prone to all the flaws of humanity, and he had to learn how to overcome them.
