Pinocchio Reviews

TRULY MAGICAL!

After the rave box office success that had went with ' Snow White And The Seven Dwarves' it was up to Walter'Walt'Disney and his studio to think up the next big classic. taken from Carlo Collodi's equally excellent book this is not as dark as it's book but hey it's Disney what do you expect? it's still the basic storyline: a lonely carpenter named Gepetto makes himself a wooden puppet which he names Pinocchio. Pinocchio isn't real but Gepetto wishes upon a star that Pinnochio becomes real and The Blue Fairy brings Pinocchio to life. The Blue Fairy is true old fashioned beauty of animation, she brings tears to my eyes with her kindness. other characters is the little Cricket named Jimminy Cricket. there is also Chleo the fish & Figaro the cat. other classic characters are Honest John the sly ' Renard' like fox and his nervous cat assitant{ i can't remember his name}. with classic places like Pleasure Island etc this movie has it all. Stromboli the puppet master scared the living daylights out of me as a kid, you have been warned!' must see movie!

Pinnochio

One of the best animated cartoon's ever made. Hard to believe it was made in 1940.

Evergreen magic

Every child should be urged to watch the Walt Disney cartoon feature films. They should be part of the education system.

First Rate.!!

This film is a must see! a film for all children from 2yrs to 92yrs.

The old ones are the best

My children, aged 4 and 6, keep begging to be able to watch the restored Pinocchio again, and I've yet to break it to them that I have, in fact, sent it back in its dinky envelope.

It is much funnier and more fascinating than I remember, the "good" guys all charmingly ineffectual and bumbling, the marvellously wicked characters, and the scenes in the interior of the whale, deliciously tense and frightening.

I found it refreshing and affectionate, especially the enchanting and now iconic scenes with the blue fairy, and my son can be heard singing along to "an actor's life for me".

Real Craftsmanship

Considering the animation was done 64 years ago, it's superb.It has that special something that the digital stuff hasn't. My daughter loved it.

Disney at its best.

Even at 30, I was singing along with my 4 year old.

Brilliant.

Great to see this one again, everyone enjoyed it I was half expecting interest to have faded with the passage of time but none of it, fantastic if you want to keep the little one's quite.
