Magically joyfull and, at times, emotional. A great adventure fable that showcases the very best of Disney. |

Despite avoiding some of the darker elements of the famous book, this early Disney animated classic still possesses a magical charm and has one of the greatest movie songs ever in it. |

Another early Disney film and again the animation is spectacular. The animation is incredibly detailed and the artistry is great. The colors are incredibly vibrant and wherever you look you can see something. This time the emotional ranges of the movie is gigantic from incredible terror, to incredible sadness and of course incredible happiness. There are less songs than Snow White but the ones it does have are very well done. The story just focuses on Pinocchio morality choices and where it brings him. It has a lot of memorable characters, and it is a great story, they goes a lot of places, and the film works perfectly. This could easily be called Disney's masterpiece. |

They Don't Make Movies Like This Anymore |

I doubt Disney would ever produce anything like Pinocchio these days. Disney isn't gutsy enough. To be honest, I still don't know how this got into theaters. Disney scarcely ever makes a film as subtly dark as this. On the surface, Pinocchio is a typical Disney children's film, but underneath, Pinocchio boasts a variety of dark themes that work like a charm. It's a shame Disney will likely never make something like Pinocchio again, because it's just so good.
Pinocchio is a very strange story. Even stranger than I originally anticipated. Geppetto, a wood carver, was quite pleased when he was finished with his wooden puppet, Pinocchio. He was even more pleased when it turned into a real boy. And with Jiminy Cricket as Pinocchio's conscience, what could go wrong? Well, a lot. T... |

Review - Pinocchio (1940) |
|
On Disney's second venture into their newfound form of feature-length animation, they brought forth an even more vivid, and much more morally-driven story, creating a true masterpiece with some rather prominent faults.
Pinocchio tells the story of an elderly craftsman who's only wish in life is to have a son of his own. He wants this so much that one night he wishes upon a star that his newest creation, a marionette of a young boy, would come to life. Lo and behold, his wish comes true as the puppet starts walking a talking, but he is only allowed to become a real boy if he can prove himself an upstanding, moral citizen of society. For help along the way, he has his self-proclaimed conscience, a little cricket named Jiminy.
After the success of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disne... |
