The Blue Fairy is a major character in the 1940 Disney animated feature film, Pinocchio. She is a magical being who, fulfilling Geppetto's wish, transforms Pinocchio into a living being and later into a real boy. She also aids Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket throughout their adventures, both directly and from afar. As one of only two female characters in the film (the other being Cleo), she is nevertheless the most powerful character in the cast; it is she who initially grants Pinocchio life and who ultimately decides whether or not he should become a real boy.
