Cons: one bad word, but it's used in the other sense

Review: From a wooden and strung puppet, as from the depiction of a wooden, strung puppet by flipping painted sketches, comes a delight in craftwork, in refining artifice to life, which gives Walt Disney's Pinocchio, from 1940, its remarkable vibrancy. ...

Pros: This was such a great movie and still is!

Cons: none

Cons: Plot holes you could drive a truck through

Review: Flush from the success of Snow White in 1937, as well as the continuing popularity of their short-form stars like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, Disney released two films in 1940: the experimental Fantasia, and this picture, more like...
