I totally agree with you Scorpiolady! Magical! I saw this article and I think i read it in one of the 2 Nic biographys I have.

Nic is lucky to come from such a creative family. His imagination grew, as well as Pinocchio, with his fathers nurturing!.

It is wonderful to think that Nic is passing on that creativity in his own way to his own 2 sons

Nicolas Cage, who has made a career of make-believe as a Hollywood actor, says the best Christmas present he ever got was one that kick-started his imagination.

"I had a little toy car that was being driven by Pinocchio and, for whatever the reason, Pinocchio's head fell off the day before Christmas. ... My father picked up the head and he went into the garden and he planted it," Cage told reporters in Los Angeles, while promoting his new movie "National Treasure: Book of Secrets."

"And the next morning, there was this enormous thing that had grown in the garden and I ripped it open and it was a giant wooden Pinocchio, and I was scratching my head trying to figure out how that grew. And then I started planting everything."

Cage said he started by burying all his Hot Wheels cars.

"I had a little G.I. Joe slipper, I thought if I planted that it would grow really big and I could put my sleeping bag in it," he remembered. "So, he really got me thinking in an imaginative way at a young age."
