Pinocchio review


Have spent this weekend watching the Blu Ray of Disney's Pinocchio, didn't intend to end up writing a review of it but it's so good I was inspired to outpour the following thoughts/conclusions.

Have come to the conclusion today that Pinocchio is the best Disney movie ever. Not only does it look gorgeous has great songs and brilliant animation but the story telling is amazingly brave 75% positive colourful and upbeat but 25% dark sinister and scary. Where the hero has to prove himself to find redemption. One has to wonder if it's magic would work on today's rebellious tweens and teens, probably not. But it's central message of could you avoid temptation and be good? Is a timeless one and also the film has barely dated at all.
