It wasn't as chic a thing to do back in Disney's day, still Walt came up with several good ones like young Dickie Jones as Pinocchio, Walter Catlett as J. Coming to mind immediately are Mel Gibson as Captain John Smith and Eddie Murphy as the donkey in the Shrek movies.

In some of the animated features of recent years we've come full circle in the fact that a lot of well known Hollywood figures have sought to lend their voices to animated productions. The wooden puppet boy who turns into flesh and blood because of a heroic deed has been done a few times on screen, but the Disney version remains the standard. 10/10 Bethany Coxįor it's second full length animated feature, Walt Disney Studios picked the Carlo Collodi children's classic Pinocchio. Watch this movie, because it is so relaxing to watch and a timeless Disney masterpiece. Another scene that scared me was the donkey transformation. And I mustn't forget the terrifying Monstro the whale-and the coachman(prepare for nightmares)- who reminds me of a larger version of Jaws the Shark. Honest John and his feline sidekick were also great fun, as well as the cruel Stromboli. Figaro was really funny, although he never speaks,but his facial expressions are priceless, and Jiminy Cricket is my favourite character. Pinocchio is appealing enough, and Geopetto was inspiring. The characters are unforgettable, and what a talented voice cast to bring Carlo Collodi's characters to life. She was beautiful! The songs are absolutely magnificent, the best being 'When You Wish Upon a Star', which strangely reminds me of Christmas and never fails to bring tears to my eyes. The animation is flawless, and I loved how they animated the Blue Fairy. This is a beautiful movie, not as good as Snow white and Bambi, but it is right up there with the classics. Some of this is due to difficult to like characters (Pinocchio himself is an idiot when you think about it and Jimminy Cricket is a lousy conscience and does nothing to keep the puppet out of trouble) and a story that just doesn't reach your heart the way some of their other films would do. But the story itself is the weakest part of the film. And, the film also is possibly the best looking Disney film.

Together, they show that the studio had learned and progressed quite a bit since their first feature, 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'. And, the animation of the characters is about as good as you can find. The backgrounds are gorgeous-with lots of detail that show that this was a labor of love. So why am I so high on this film? Well, it's truly an artistic triumph. The only reason I don't score this one a 10 is that around the same time, the Disney Studio made a few better films during this era-particularly 'Bambi'. While I would not place 'Pinocchio' among the very best feature- length films by Disney, it's sure close.
