Pinocchio

Walt Disney's second full-length animated feature is a timeless, breathtakingly beautiful classic. Based on an 1800s story by Carlo Collodi, it stars Jiminy Cricket (voiced by Cliff Edwards) as a vagabond insect who spends a rainy night at the shop of toymaker Geppetto. The Blue Fairy brings a marionette to life after Geppetto wishes on a star for a son, and Jiminy Cricket is appointed the new boy's conscience. He has a devil of a time keeping up as Pinocchio is willingly lured through various forms of temptation, the most frightening of which leads him to Pleasure Island, where he drinks, smokes, and is almost turned into a jackass. This sequence, as well as Pinocchio's brave rescue of Geppetto from the belly of a whale, ranks among the most memorable in the history of animation. With such songs as "When You Wish Upon a Star," this is about as magical as cinema can get, a sublimely beautiful coming-of-age story for all to treasure.

Pros Great animation, wonderful characterizations, solid message, a story that keeps moving.
Cons Some scary sequences for very young children.
Recommended it? Yes

The original Pinocchio story, written by Collodi, is a kids' morality play, steeped in religious symbolism of right vs. wrong and good vs. bad. It addresses many pitfalls: temptation, disobedience, lying. It also highlights positive attributes: love, friendship, bravery, sacrifice.

Pros Animation, music, storyline, strong themes of family, love, redemption
Cons Gut-wrenching fear that DisneyCorp will make a sequel
Recommended it? Yes

I often set myself up as being very anti-Disney...and in fact, often describe myself as being so. And yet, some of my fondest childhood memories (back in the days before VCRs, mind you), were going to see the Classic Disney films in the dark theatre with my family, and being astounded at the...

It was actually released on February 7, 1940, making it only sixty-nine years old. This release comes with a DVD version, which I watched, plus a Blu-Ray edition and a digital... Read full review »

Pinocchio: Spanish Edition (Pinocho) [VHS]

This Disney masterpiece from 1940 will hold up forever precisely because it doesn't restrain or temper the most elementalemotions and themes germane to its story. Based on the Collodi tale about a wooden puppet who wants to become a real boy, Pinocchio is among the most magical, mythical, and frightening films to come from the studio in its long history. A number of scenes make permanent impressions on young minds (just ask Steven Spielberg, who quoted the film more than once in Close Encounters of the Third Kind), and the songs ("When You Wish upon a Star") can't be beat. --Tom Keogh
