Wonderful
Last night I watched Pinocchio, Disney’s second feature-length film and in my opinion one of the studio’s best features. Based on the 19th century book by Carlo Collodi, but not half as unpleasant, Pinocchio combines winning animation with great humor and excitement. There are songs, but they’re never like the huge production numbers that last four minutes and feature the voice of some up-and-coming princess of pop (who’ll be gone in a year) that the studio later adopted with the applicable exception of When you Wish Upon a Star. My favorite song is “Little Wooden Head” which is featured in the beginning and is a truly wonderful scene as Gepetto and Figaro play happily with the new puppet.

The movie takes a sadistic, cruel, heartless little wooden boy (Collodi’s character) and turns him into an interesting, 3-dimensional kid with a good heart but who is weak-willed and doesn’t always listen to reason. The animation makes brilliant use of the multiplane camera, featuring a sprawling opening sequence in which the viewer practically sees the entire village at night. The characters are colorful and fun (I especially love Honest John Foulfellow and his sidekick Gideon) and the story has never a dull moment. This film is a reminder of the sort of efforts Disney put int o their films; the man himself had a great storytelling passion that was lost in later works (Alice in Wonderland, 101 Dalmatians). Pinocchio was never as famous as some of the others, and this is unfortunate because it is his masterpiece.

A delightful animated morality tale
This Disney classic tells the story of Pinocchio a marionette made by Geppetto. Having finished making the doll Geppetto settles down to sleep and wishes that Pinocchio could be a real boy. As he sleeps a fairy grants his wish. As Pinocchio wakes the fairy tells him that while he is alive he is not yet a real boy; to do that he must prove himself “brave, truthful, and unselfish”. To help him Jiminy Cricket, the cricket who is also the story’s narrator, is appointed his conscience. Not surprisingly Geppetto is rather surprised but he is also happy. The next day he sends Pinocchio to school but along the way he meets two dubious characters who persuade him forget about going to school and instead join a puppet show where he is to be the star attraction. Inevitably it does not end well but Jiminy and the fairy rescue him. One would think that Pinocchio would learn his lesson but soon he is being tempted again; this time to somewhere even more dangerous. Once again he is rescued by Jiminy and they head home once more; when they get there they learn Geppetto has gone looking for him and got in trouble… it is now time for Pinocchio to be “brave, truthful, and unselfish”.

I believe this was the first film I ever saw in the cinema; and I hadn’t seen it since then. For that reason alone I had to watch it when it was on television. I’m over forty years older now but still found the film delightful. The story is obviously a morality tale as Pinocchio it tempted but ultimately proves himself; this isn’t done in a heavy-handed way at the expense of viewers’ enjoyment. There are plenty of child-friendly scares and some genuinely dark moments… the bad children aren’t saved from their fate of being turned to donkeys and force to work in the salt mines! The animation is absolutely stunning; it is amazing to think that this was made in an era when animation was entirely hand drawn with; the use of shadows and the scenes involving the whale and the foaming sea were particularly spectacular. Overall this film certainly deserves its classic status; it is a must see for fans of Disney and animation in general.
